Good Idea, Poor Execution
The packaging is the best part of the Flosspot dental floss.  We're trying to cut back on our use of plastic and dental floss seemed like an easy way to do this.  The Flosspot stainless steel, re-fillable container with bamboo-based floss ticked the boxes.  Unfortunately, the floss itself has very low breaking strength and I find I'm going through floss at 3-4 times the previous rate, which dings Flosspot from an affordability perspective.  The raised notch for cutting the floss, at the top of the container, is difficult to use since it's not quite raised enough to easily snag the floss.  But since the floss breaks so easily, you don't really need that feature anyway.<br /><br />While I understand you don't want floss so strong that you'll lacerate your gums, one would expect Flosspot to be at least as strong as the synthetic floss it seeks to replace.  Bamboo fibers should be capable of achieving that level of breaking strength.  Suffice it to say I'll be looking for an alternative.
