Floss that expands when damp
The Vegan Smart Floss is designed to expand into the spaces between teeth once it is moist, which the brand says is gentler on gums and softer on fingers. The coating is a plant wax blend, so no animal products are used.
Charcoal and plant wax
Activated charcoal from coconut is part of the floss, and the flavour comes from lemongrass oil with a natural liquorice flavour. The listing states it is free of PTFE and PFAS, gluten-free and non-GMO, with no animal testing. Each pack holds 27 m (30 yd).
How to use
Wrap 18 inches (45 cm) of floss around your fingers and draw it tight, as it expands when it is moist. Slide the floss between your teeth, curve it around each tooth and clean between tooth and gum with a gentle up-and-down motion. Use a clean section between each tooth.
Before you choose
Floss gently and stop if you feel discomfort. The floss contains activated charcoal. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
