Oral-B Glide Floss Picks-30 count, Unflavored (Pack of 6)

I feel thankful now.

BUYER BEWARE! I’ve been a huge fan of these floss picks ever since they were introduced 10 or 20 years ago. But the product has recently changed (I’m writing this in May 2025) and not for the better. When I was using the previous version of these picks, one would occasionally break (the floss, not the plastic), at a rate of maybe 1 to 3 out of a pack of 30. That wasn’t a bid deal for me. HOWEVER, this new version of the product is a disaster, at least for me. I note the packages now say “NEW CleanTech Floss - GLIDES 50% EASIER,” and I do agree with that, the floss does, indeed, glide easier. But at what cost? The floss on the new picks break often. VERY often. They break at the rate of 2 to 10 PER DAY (1 flossing session). My photo shows the SEVEN floss picks that broke while I was flossing my teeth this morning. Yesterday morning, 4 of them broke. The day before that, 9 of them broke. I’ve been using these newer picks since I got a 6-pack of them about a month ago, and it’s been crazy how easily they break. Previously, a pack of 30 would last about 27-28 days (due to a couple breaking). But now, using the new picks, I’ve gone through 20 picks in just 3 days (an average of 6.7 per day!). At that rate, it means a 30 qty pack of these floss picks now lasts only 4.5 days! That means the new version of these picks is ridiculously expensive. I use these newpicks exactly like I used the old ones. I’ve had no significant dental work that would affect the durability of the floss. It’s clear that these new floss picks, while they do glide better than the old ones, break at an alarming rate, making them way too expensive for the average consumer. Going forward, I need to find an alternative to this product, sadly.

this product was defective, I've ordered these in the past ,but this new product is defective

I was happy with my order

This is the same product listing as the old Oral B flossers, which were the greatest in the universe. I used thousands of them over the course of many years. They were perfect. Now, they have changed the floss completely, and they are garbage. They break all the time. I break at least 4-5 of them every single time I floss. And there are spots between some teeth that will break the floss literally every single time. What I mean is that for some of my teeth, these new flossers are literally incapable of pushing through because the floss breaks every single time. So those spots just don't get flossed. The many breakages are the biggest problem, but I also find this floss to be less soft and they hurt my gums.Oral B should be ashamed of themselves.

Recommend by my Dentist

These are my absolute favorite floss tools. My teeth are very close together and most picks do not slide well between my teeth, the the Oral B Glides seem to do the job well. I avoid flavored picks and am happy these have no such chemicals on them.

We have been ordering these for years now. While they've not always been the most durable, they work relatively well and are the most comfortable of all floss picks, which is why we've continued purchasing them.This most recent batch has been absolutely horrible. We'd typically chock it up to a bad batch, but having done some research online recently, it seems the Glide floss has taken a turn for the worse, and the entire community has begun to notice. I break 3-4 of them every night. Last night, when it broke, the floss actually got stuck in my teeth, requiring me to use another floss pick to try and pluck it out. That floss pick also broke. I ended up using a paper towel for friction to try and grab and pull this out. In addition to breaking, the Glide floss is junk now. I echo what the community has said; they are just awful. The floss shreds and falls apart incredibly easy. If it doesn't, it pulls out of the slot in the pick. These are simply unusable and certainly not worth the premium anymore that we were once willing to pay.Glide has lost a customer in us.
