In a nutshell, this is why I like Butler Eez Thru dental floss
(plain or mint not important, but mint is more tasty)

It is most unpleasant if you have some tight teeth spaces, and every other floss no matter how thin, or how waxed to be smoother or how fine, they all get stuck and don't move leaving pieces of threads hanging. It just looks bad, but the sensation is worse.

Remember what it feels like to get something like raw carrot stuck firmly between your teeth? except you have these two threads hanging down like a moustache. And it feels weird enough that you want to rush to an emergency dental appointment except it takes 6 months to get an appointment with your dentist. And you don't want to trim off the ends because then you may not be able to find the ends to get it out and who knows where loose short dental thread can end up - can it slide up your bones and gums until it reaches your brain?.

And you try but are afraid to pull because it feels like your teeth will come out
before the floss - it is jammed in so tightly! So, you can't smile any more.
You can't enjoy your food because your teeth don't have enough room between them to chew properly. You can't drink from a straw for six months......so you suffer for days until it accidentally comes out, then when watching TV or something boring, your hand automatically keeps busy and grabs the wrong kind of floss - and it starts all over again! except maybe this time much, much longer.......

If you scroll thru the American Dental Association Buying Guide for Butler products, some of them have the star marking the ADA Seal of Acceptance, but not Eez Thru floss.
Never mind, it shows that some of their products have been approved, but the Eez thru floss is still a great product for narrow spaces between your teeth.

I found other Eez Thru products but not the floss. Maybe they won't make it any more and now that I have found the perfect product for me I'll need to buy it in bulk for life before it is discontinued everywhere. Isn't that what happens when you find something you like? Just watch for the white, eight sided little plastic box on the store shelves - while you still can!
