The Name "glide" describes it best!

It is funny to think that there can be such a difference in floss right? Except for flavor you would think they are all the same, but they are not! My mouth is very "crowded" as my dentist tells me. Usually I prefer flossers as they are easier to manipulate in my tiny mouth. That being said, sometimes floss is more convenient (like traveling or when I keep some in my purse). This floss is my first choice! Crest Glide Comfort Plus Mint Floss really does glide between my tight teeth. There is nothing worse that having your sharp teeth rip apart floss and shred it like confetti, but I've never had that problem with this floss! Also, the fresh Crest Mint flavor is quite refreshing and enjoyable when I take a mid-day floss break. The one thing that keeps me from giving this a 10 is the price, but when a dental product works and is successful, sometimes it is worth paying a premium for.

A good floss but I am not sold on it.

This floss was purchased by me while I was on vacation. I had forgotten my usual tooth floss and had to find a replacement. The store in the place where we were on vacation did not have the floss I usually use, so this was my purchase. It was an okay floss. The mint taste was a little weird for me. It had a sweet aftertaste and I did not like that very much. I did not like the taste left in my mouth. It stuck in my mouth for a long time after using this floss. The quality of the floss was good. It did not break while I was using it, but I did have to replace the floss at least once while I was flossing. It was a little expensive, so I would prefer each time I floss, that the strand last long enough to finish out the job. I do not floss overly hard or anything; I just floss normally. There is no reason that a strand could not last the whole time I need to use it. This was a good replacement, but in the long run, I will be sticking to my normal brand.

Good design to make flossing comfortable!!

For most of my life my dentist told me that I should floss regularly and her advice went in one ear and out the other. I didn't like flossing. Flossing tasted bad and it was very uncomfortable. My gums were always left so sore afterwards. I just ignored my dentist and my teeth were fine. As I neared the age of 40, my age caught up with me and I started to have gum recession and some teeth decay. I HAD to start flossing! Upon her recommendation, I tried Crest Glide Comfort Plus. The first thing that I noticed about this floss is that it's designed with a wax coating on it so that you can get a good grip on the floss and it's not sliding all over the place. It slides so well on my teeth. My teeth that are more crowded together and usually held so much resistance to floss weren't a problem with this floss and my gums didn't get so irritated. What I liked the most is the pleasant mint flavor of the floss. I wasn't left with a gross after-taste in my mouth from flossing. I have found myself to become a much more regular flosser now that I have begun using this product.

They have changed the name.

But a Glide mint floss by any other name is just as sweet. This floss is now part of the Pro-Health lineup and has that name appended to it. If your teeth are close together (and if you wore braces as a child, they probably are) then the Glide floss made with the easy slide material is worth the extra buck. This stuff is proof that you don't have to yank the floss from between your teeth for it to work. I am always startled by what this floss gets out from between my teeth - startled because it was so comfortable it hardly felt like I had flossed at all. The floss is made of a patented material that is billed to "slide up to 50 percent more easily in tight spaces." It's true. It slides easily between my teeth, in comparison to another flossing tape which always has to be yanked into and out of the gumline. It's hard to make a habit out of an activity that makes you feel like the 'before' person in an infomercial. Glide with the patented slippery stuff makes me feel like the 'after' person.

Finally! Gentle Floss

Crest Glide Comfort Plus Mint Floss is the only kind of floss I can use. My teeth are pretty tight together and most other flosses I have tried in the past just ended up making my gums bleed. Crest Glide is not like that though, it has a thin wax coating which allows it slide more effortlessly between tight spaces. I recommend this to anyone who finds regular uncomfortable.

Doesn't last long

I figured that the CREST Glide Comfort Plus Floss would be a great product but it came to be just average for me. I ended up giving it to my kids to use. I did not like this floss at all because I wasted so much of it due to it shredding or breaking on me without even using it roughly.

I do not like Crest Glide but my wife thinks it is the best.

I gave my crest glide to my wife since she seems to love using it a lot more than I did. I have just never liked regular dental floss and Crst Glide was no different to me. Crest Glide seemed to shred faster and waste more floss than just using one of those dental plucker things. That might not be what they are called but that is what I am calling them so if you ca not find a product using plucker than it was just me not knowing what they call those things. Also this stuff is expensive I get more floss in a bag of pluckers than this thing has and for a whole lot less money. Crest Glide is like Colgate Total in that I will not buy it for me but if I can find it on sale and or find a coupon I will get it for my wife since she seems to enjoy it so much. If I keep her happy she keeps me happy and I like being happy so I will keep her happy even if I have to buy the lame expensive floss to do so. Why couldn't she like hot sauce instead?

Glide the name fits

I used to buy whatever Dental floss was on sale, since I thought how much difference can there be? Fraying of the floss and breaking seemed to be the way all floss worked. I had tried waxed, and un-waxed. My Dentist gave me a sample of Glide and I was very surprised. The name is exactly how it seemed to work for me. No fraying, no breaking, easily in and out. So when I was ready to purchase more, I saw the Comfort mint was on sale so it was my best buy. Now not only do I have the easy to use no fray Glide floss, but it actually has a little mint flavor. Not too much but a little surprise, and very pleasant. If fraying or the floss shredding are problems for you, try Glide. You maybe surprised at how easy it goes in and out.

Crest Glide is so true to its name!

My husband and I really enjoy using the Crest Glide Floss Comfort Mint. It does not break or fray when you are breaking off a piece to use. It holds up very well. Some dental flosses are harsh on your gums and do more damage than cleaning. Not this floss! I feel like my gums get more clean using Crest Glide than other types of floss. Also I don't damage my gums flossing nearly as frequently using Crest Glide as I did with other flosses. This floss couldn't have a better name! It glides so easily between my teeth. I can totally feel that my teeth are more clean after using Crest Glide. Using Crest Glide makes flossing fun and enjoyable. I actually look forward to flossing now because I know the result will be a great clean feeling and not damaged achy bloody gums. This floss is also the best my husband has tried for working in between his permanent retainers. While other types of floss get stuck in the tight spaces, this floss tends to go through with ease. It's worth every penny!

Crest Glide Comfort makes flossing easier !

Crest Glide Floss Comfort Mint is by far the best flossing product I have ever used. I've tried almost every name brand floss available on the market, but none of them are a match for Crest's Glide Floss. The best feature about it is definitely its shape, the flossing thread is flat and thick compared to other traditional rounded thin and sharp ones . This perfect shape and thickness makes it so much more easier to use. It just glides between teeth without any effort and does not hurt at all. Does a perfect job of flossing every time. I have had issues with my gums bleeding with other flosses which tend to cut into the tiny gap between the gums and my teeth, but never ever had that happen with Crest Glide. It just glides in and out of the gap between your teeth perfectly. The mint flavor is an additional bonus and leaves back a great minty fresh feeling in your mouth . I love the Crest Glide Comfort Floss and definitely suggest it to everyone looking for a great dental hygeine product !!
