Frequently Asked Questions

SimplyFloss can be used by everyone – children, adults, seniors, people with arthritis or other dexterity issues. Or people who just don’t like regular floss.  *Adult supervision is recommended for ages 8 yrs and under.

Give SimplyFloss a quick rinse in warm water, then put a middle finger through each loop, and pinch down on the silicone string leaving approx. 1 cm between both hands. Pull taut and begin flossing. After another quick rinse, it’ll be ready for next time. Check out the "How to use" section.

Regular floss can shred and get stuck between your teeth.. not to mention strangle your poor fingers. And it goes straight into the trash after every use. SimplyFloss is made from 100% silicone and can be used multiple times. Due to the stretchiness of the material, it’s much easier to get into tight spaces. SimplyFloss won’t shred and will gently tear apart when it’s ready to be replaced.

No two teeth are alike… and no two users are alike either. How long SimplyFloss will last will depend on how often it's used and how tightly your teeth are packed. Due to the stretchiness of the silicone, SimplyFloss can be a bit of a learning curve. If you pull it too tight or overstretch it… or maybe if you’re a super enthusiastic and vigorous flosser ;-) SimplyFloss can break sooner than it should. Once you get the hang of it, you can expect SimplyFloss to last anywhere from 7-14 uses. 

Regular floss goes straight into the trash after just one use and can take up to 80 years to break down in landfill. Not to mention how nasty string based products can be for our marine life. SimplyFloss can be used multiple times, so less waste is going into the trash, and can even be recycled through the Terracycle Program. We recommend cutting the loops before you dispose of SimplyFloss to help protect our furry friends. 

SimplyFloss should not be used on braces, retainers or bridges; however, you can use it on implants and crowns with no problems.

Well… you use your toothbrush more than once right? ;-) The good thing is that SimplyFloss is not like regular floss that gets all frayed and gunky. A simple rinse in warm water is all you need to keep your SimplyFloss clean and fresh.

SimplyFloss should be rinsed under warm water, before and after each use. It can also be cleaned in an antibacterial alcohol-free mouth rinse. SimplyFloss can be stored in our custom mirrored case or hung on our handy suction cup until the next use.  *We don’t recommend using a sterilizer or dishwasher to clean the floss.

SimplyFloss is a reusable planet friendly floss that can be recycled using a program like Terracycle. Check with your local dental office to see if they are part of this program. Tip:Make sure to cut the finger loops before recycling them to keep your furry friends safe.
