Thanks Sarah
I remember looking at the directions on how to floss and it said to use like 18 inches of floss....I could never use that little!
There is about 30 spaces between all of my teeth and I do each side so it's like 60 separate flossing surfaces. If I use an inch of floss for each it's about 60 inches. I double it over for some teeth.
I take the dispenser and pull off about a foot and do that five times and cut it off.
And yeah I'm probably pretty much a nut about it but once I felt how clean my teeth teeth got I never skipped a day.
You would be surprised at how many people do not floss...some people do not even brush their teeth!
Jim

Nah. Their lives just seem longer. Glide fan here, rinse & reuse, rinse & reuse till it shreds - which takes forever!

Hey, Calmloki, do you toss a dryer sheet in with the rinse cycle?

You must be standing on one end while flossing?

I sit down when I floss...it takes too long to stand.
I'm over 6 feet tall but you got me wondering if it would hit the ground now.
