Switch to Zero Waste Vegan Dental Floss
Georganic Dental Floss (use CODE AWIN15 for 15% discount) is free from beeswax or silk, and made with corn or bamboo fibre (gentle on your gums).
Read our dental care posts (widely used to sweeten toothpaste, floss and gum, never use xylitol brands near pets – licking leftovers from around your mouth or sink could be fatal – there should be warnings on the packets).
Avoid this brand’s gum if you live with pets, as it contains xylitol.
At end of use, just compost it, right down to the packaging. The clear wax is made from renewable candelilla plants, and the box is cardboard. The quality fibres mean that the floss glides easily between teeth, without shredding. And won’t break, even if sliding between close teeth.
Choose from naturally-flavoured oils (spearmint, orange or whitening charcoal). The dispenser fits easily into travel bags or bathroom drawers, so flossing feels like a treat, not a chore. You cut just what you need, which cuts down on waste.
