It\u2019s ok if is not for everyone, because everyone is different. My answer to this question doesn\u2019t matter that much, even if most like floss string, because it\u2019s not like everyone will like floss string. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Harold C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer flossing picks cause the string type hurts my fingers and use to make me dread flossing. So the picks make me actually look forward to flossing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jose Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use all different types of floss\u2014 both string and picks. I also keep the string type with the plastic handles in my cabinet so that I can grab them easily and floss whenever I\u2019m feeling lazy. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louanne E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer to use a water flosser because they\u2019re more environmentally friendly, but I\u2019m not sure yet if they\u2019re as effective as traditional floss; I\u2019ll just have to ask my dentist during my next cleaning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Soline Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer the floss picks. According to my dentist they\u2019re not as good as floss string. My thinking is I\u2019m more likely to floss consistently, as I have been, using the picks. Maybe I\u2019m lazy but I\u2019m flossing. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Phillip O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer a refillable floss \u201cwand\u201d by Reach.

I don\u2019t think the picks are adequate enough. I tried a coconut charcoal floss and it was terrible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eline Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Just string, to keep it simple. And for the environment (least amount of material and plastic in string compared to a big oily plastic pick!)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sasha T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer floss picks. I hate flossing, so the most hassle free method works best for me. I keep ghe package by the sink to ensure I remember to put it in my nightly routine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Simon C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Technically, I use floss string, but I use it on a flossed device that holds the piece of floss taught for me. Essentially, it allows the floss function like a disposable floss pick with less that is actually thrown away. I particularly like that I can use whatever my preferred floss is with it, not just whatever is strung up on the disposable floss picks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bruce F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I use floss string, but care about turtles so buy a compostable&#x2F;biodegradable version in the local health food shop! Not sure the dentist would approve but my conscious does! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arron C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">String floss tends t be my to-go to, since it\u2019s the only kind in the house. But it\u2019s better this way. It allows more flexibility in getting all the cracks and areas, is inexpensive, and better for the environment. Floss picks just add to the waste epidemic, and is not practical for long term useage. At least make a pick you don\u2019t throw away every night.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andr A E.
