I was super excited to find this with a reusable glass container. However, as other have said, it breaks so easily and I now have pieces stuck between my teeth, as well as MORE stuck between my teeth when trying to get the initial floss out. SO wanted to like this, but it is literally the worst floss I’ve ever used.

As many other reported, it frays easily. But if I move to a new, wet section more frequently than I’m used to, it’s usually ok. I wish it came unflavored or something other than peppermint. I love that it’s vegan & compostable, but don’t love the performance enough to buy it again. I’ll be keeping my eye out, though!

They recently changed the formula for this floss and it is terrible to floss with! I wish they kept it how it was before, it was perfect. Now it breaks and frays and feels weird against my teeth. I am back to looking for a good zero-waste floss.

I enjoy using this floss and home composting it afterwards. The floss breaks apart a little bit so I use a little more than I would with plastic floss, but it’s a great alternative.

I didn’t listen to the rest of the reviews and ordered this product anyway, and I have….regrets. Unless I pull a length of floss equivalent to my entire armspan, I’m not getting my teeth clean. The floss shreds so quickly between your teeth, you have to move to a new section between every tooth – no joke. Half the time I would get so frustrated I would just give up halfway through flossing, because I would end up with clumps of shredded floss stuck between my teeth. I wanted this stuff to work because I LOVE the idea of having compostable floss, but I would not ever buy this again.

Unless you’re really careful. The floss breaks in between your teeth and leaves behind some string that is really difficult to remove. I’ve managed to not have the issue a few times but usually it happens. Would not recommend

i had the silk version of this before and liked it well enough, but this version frays between my teeth every time i try to use it. i tried to pass it on to my husband, but he has the same issue. it also creates the sensation of nails on a chalkboard, so it’s really unpleasant to use even without the fraying.

I floss religiously and really wanted to love this vegan biodegradable option. However, I have some close contacts between molars and the floss broke and/or got stuck every time I used it. (I still have a callus on my finger from trying to get it out/through my teeth!)
I am happy to report that non-vegan silk floss made by another company (dental lace) will fit in the reusable jar. I haven’t had any issues with that breaking. Whew!

I was SO excited to try this floss and I love the sustainability and idea. However, this will not work unless you have super spaced out teeth. It did fine for my front teeth which have gaps but once I tried to use it on my normal spaced teeth in the back it frayed and then got stuck to the point I had to have my husband help me pull it out which really hurt. I hope the brand makes adjustments because this is a great idea, it just isn’t a good product.

I am a little surprised at all the negative comments! I was just ordering my second container of this as my first one is running low and noticed the low rating. I think the fact that this floss is not waxed takes a little getting used to. Waxed floss tends to slip in and out easily (and also makes it slippery on your fingers), so I can see how there are some posts about difficulty in tight gaps. I’m an avid flosser and I think altering flossing technique can help alleviate some of these issues. I’ve never once had the floss fray or break on me.

This floss is absolutely horrendous. It frays so easily and breaks apart constantly.
Even worse, the frayed bits sometimes get stuck between my teeth, and feels like there’s hair in in my mouth. It’s gross, and defeats the purpose of flossing.
It also tightens around my fingers when I’m trying to pull it out. Sometimes (when it’s not shredding itself) the floss will get stuck, and tightens around my fingers until it hurts.
Every day that I floss, I think about how I need to write a bad review to appease my frustrations.
PLEASE do not buy this!!!

Gee, the reviews seem to pretty much say the same thing. I think all of us want a floss that is biodegradable and this one works fine between most of my teeth, but on the more troublesome areas where I really need it, it breaks and gets stuck between my teeth so that I need some NON-biodegradable floss to clean out the biodegradable floss …

This floss sucks. Kudos for being compostable, but I don’t know how this passed to production. It breaks EVERY time I use it and gets stuck in my teeth. My previous compostable floss I bought off Amazon did not to this. I was stoked to take one more thing off my Amazon list and support EarthHero, but this did not pass the test.

This “floss” is a new, compostable formula (points for effort) that makes it so weak that it snaps in half and leaves pieces between you teeth. Not only that, they made it extremely minty! I HATE mint. The *previous version* of this product was perfect (very sturdy and not mint flavored). This new formula should not even be sold on the Earth Hero site – unless they recategorize it as “expensive compost material” instead of the misleading label of “floss,” since it cannot actually be used as floss. I’m so sad this product changed. It used to be excellent.

I love everything I have bought from georganics. I will say this floss has a tendency to shred. I do have fillings and that seems to be where they catch. Other brands do the same thing, but this floss does shred more readily. With that in mind, they are the only floss I have found that contains absolutely no plastic, I will still buy this floss. I know it is difficult to transition from plastics norm and durability. This floss still works comparable to most silk flosses I have found.

My teeth are tight together so flossing is a must. Unfortunately this floss breaks between my teeth. I sent my husband out to get some sturdier floss until I can order something different. On the other hand my children and husband have gapped teeth so this floss works great for them.

chen.alyce (verified owner) –
My comments are the same as many before: packaging is nice, but this vegan floss does not work. Both my husband and I have orthodontist-certified straight teeth (!) but we both find this floss shreds when we use it. Even worse than just breaking, it leaves pieces of floss between my teeth forcing me to use something else to get the floss out from between my teeth. I’ll be switching to a non-vegan alternative I guess.
Update: I tried to persevere with this and at least use up what I purchased, but it is so incredibly frustrating to need to use another type of floss to remove pieces of this floss that get stuck between my teeth. I’ve tried various methods of flossing to try to avoid breakage, but nothing works. I can not recommend this produce at all.

This is an awesome idea and I wanted to love it, but it kept breaking when between molars. I then tried doubling up the floss by twisting them together, but it still would break and was also bulkier between my teeth.
Unfortunately I’ll probably have to pass the rest of it on to see if someone in my family enjoys it because I have to use different floss to get the remains of the broken floss out of my teeth, so I’m wasting more in the long run.

I have a permanent retainer behind my teeth and this floss gets absolutely shredded before I even try to do the actual flossing part. It’s works okay on my upper teeth… Lol. I would try a different brand if your teeth are tight together or have permanent retainers like I do.

This is practically anti-floss since every time I’ve tried it I’ve had to use other floss to remove bits of it that shredded and stuck. You can tell it’s made of corn: the only thing that sticks in my teeth worse is corn on the cob.

I can’t add much more than the previous reviewers mentioned. We love the zero waste packaging, but the floss is worthless for both my wife and me.

I really like the concept of this product. For someone with tight teeth gaps, even my dentist complains about them, this is not the product for me. It frays and snaps too easily when trying to get it to go between my teeth. Besides that, smells great, the dispenser is simple and works with no extra hassle. Worth it to me if you don’t have the same issue I do.

I really wanted to like this floss and even purchased refills at the same time. I loved the previous silk version, but this version shared between basically all of my teeth instead of just a couple. I do like the new container design and wish I could use this floss. Unfortunately, it shreds so much between my tight teeth that it is unusable for me. Perhaps if your teeth are not closely packed it would be a good option for you.
