I was lucky to receive a free package of DenTek Fun Flossers to sample for review, which I was quite happy to do. Now, I must confess, I was initially leery of trying them, mainly because I’ve always found the disposable floss wands to look kind of “funny” and awkward. However, there is no denying that string floss just can’t get it all sometimes. With that in mind I tried to keep an open mind when giving this product a try.

Fun Flossers, as evidenced by the name, is a brand of kids floss that aims to help children develop healthy oral care habits early. Them come in 48-count packages that consist of four fluorescent colors (pink, orange, blue, and green) and the floss has a fluoride coating. In order to reach a decision as to the effectiveness of the floss, I compared it with my usual brand of string floss, which you can see in this video review:

As I said, I really believed that string floss performed better than wands, but I think I may have to rethink my stance on that. Using the Fun Flossers I was able to better reach all of the teeth in my mouth, even those molars in the far back that I can never seem to get to with string floss. No shoving a fist into my mouth just to reach every tooth. Not to mention, I did have to hold a dirty floss string that was coated with the gunk from between my teeth. I might not be kid anymore, but I certainly appreciated the fun colors provided and I sincerely think children will as well.

I would like to mention however that the package clearly says “Wild Fruit” on it up at the top which implies that these floss wands are flavored. I’ve used all of the colors included and I have yet to taste anything on the floss. There isn’t even a fruity smell to hint at these being flavored. If I had purchased these for the flavors I would be disappointed.
