I recently received some GUM Soft-Picks to review. Wow! Being a frugal shopper, price has usually been my #1 consideration up until now. I floss regularly. You know the drill on the string, how it breaks, and how you wish you could find a better way. Well, I just did.
About GUM Soft-Picks
When was the last time your dentist said, “Great job flossing”?
For 87% of us, it’s been a while. That’s the percentage of dental patients who don’t floss on a regular basis according to the American Dental Association.
So we made an alternative to flossing that’s effective, convenient, and easy to use while on-the-go. GUM® Soft-Picks®.* Clinically-proven plaque removal between teeth*
* Safe for dental implants, bridges, crowns, and orthodontics
* Gentle on gums and more comfortable than wooden or plastic picks
* 76 soft, rubber bristles massage and stimulate gums
* Wire-free, tapered design dislodges food
* Easy to use for people of all agesFlossing is not exactly fun, even for those who do it regularly. But GUM® Soft-Picks® makes the job a lot easier. For a better smile and healthier teeth and gums, pick up a pack today in the oral care section.
Soft-Picks, classier than toothpicks, are small and discreet. They are just what the ads say–ultra portable and easy to use. What they do not say is that they are easier to use than their alternative floss. Their soft bristles didn’t make my gums bleed. I myself saw remnants of the plaque buildup between teeth they effectively and painlessly removed. Gone one source of bad breath and gum disease. Now the only thing that will make Gum Soft-Picks even better is if the manufacturer supplies a small carrying case. That way men and women alike can carry them 24/7 and not worry about stuck particles and the like.
WIN IT!
ONE winners will receive a prize pack that includes GUM Soft-Picks, GUM Technique Toothbrushes and GUM Go-Betweens.

the traditional string is what I use….this would be so much more easier for my son who has issues and would get him to floss regularly

I generally use a water pick instead of floss, but when I go on a trip, I don’t have that luxury. So these would be ideal for travel!

So I have to admit, I HATE flossing. To me, it’s like nails on a chalkboard. Needless to say, I am keeping my dentist in business. I choose the ribbon floss over the string, but let’s just say flossig is not a regular habit. These sound great. Even if I don’t win, I will be headed to Target to purchase. I need the help. Thanks

I use regular dental floss. I’d love for my husband to try these since he uses anything (credit card, paper, anything within reach) drives me crazy
