PlackersTwin Line Flossers, Pack of 2

I struggled for a long time using floss-reels/tape with varying degrees of success, usually finding that the narrow stuff was easy to use but didn't clean very well, while thicker floss cleaned better was prone to getting caught and fraying.So I decided to give floss-sticks a try and as luck would have it I found these in a local chemist's; the twin-line sticks use two narrow, but really strong, strips of floss, giving you the ease of use of a narrow floss, but the cleaning of much thicker stuff. The angled handle also makes it a lot easier to get at all of your teeth. While I recommend disposing of each stick if you're not used to flossing (as you may get some blood initially), once you're used to them you should be able to use them for several days or even a whole week before they will start to fray, meaning that although they're a little expensive they are actually really good value for money.Unfortunately my local chemist no longer stocks these, but I was glad to find them still for sale online, as it really is the only way I can floss properly as they are so much easier to use. This is also true when compared to other floss-sticks which use a single line, and can be a lot more prone to breaking or getting stuck.

My usual supermarket was out of stock of the Plackers micro mint which I had been using daily for nearly 2 years. So glad I checked on Amazon and came across the positive reviews for these twin line Plackers flossers. I thought that the micro mint were the best flossers available until I tried these, they really do clean even better than the single line. With very tightly packed crooked teeth I had only ever found one brand of waxed dental tape that I could get between my teeth and even then it was a struggle with sore and indented fingers, needless to say I didn't floss very often. Since discovering Plackers I've had no problems and almost enjoy flossing every day. If I had one criticism it would be that the handles of these flossers aren't as good a design as those on the green micro mint and it took a couple of days getting used to how to hold it without the pick jabbing my thumb. Having said that these are still my number one choice and for me Plackers are well worth the price compared to some other cheaper brand flossers I've tried recently.

Very good in quality and very good to use.

I really like these devices as they make it quick and easy to floss. I find that the "twin-line" means that material is removed more consistently than a single line. I rinse the flosser briefly after every few teeth if there is visible material being removed.Whilst I know I could just wrap floss round my fingers, I find it slightly awkward and uncomfortable. With these devices it is less hassle, I don't cut of circulation in my fingers (!) and I can floss around all my teeth quite easily, even the wisdom teeth. Because they make it easy, I floss more often that I would just using floss. My dentist and dental hygienist are commented on the improvement to my gum health!

Plackers are amazing been using for decades! First got them when visiting the US when you could only buy them in their shops over there. Product brilliant but had to return this order as meant to be 2 x 75 packets = 150 but only x1 packet of 75 arrived in box. Amazon’s feedback options as usual poor and unhelpful with not the right choice available to report this. Only option was to return the whole order even though I suspect it was Amazon Logisics which messed this up not sending x2 as per item description.

Good strong flossers.

I bought these having for some years now been using the light green version. If you have tight teeth - Plackers are for you simply because they all-but refuse to break and can be kept in the pocket throughout the day. I have tried many other makes over the years but stick now to these American made ones. The double-filament type is new to me so I thought I would give them a try. They are at least as strong and effective as the single-filament green version and perhaps do remove more food more quickly. 100% pleased.

It’s handy flosser
