"Great product. I know tea tree is very beneficial but I just can't get over the taste or smell. Reminds me of turpentine."

"My boyfriend doesn't mind this dental tape, but I personally wish that it was a bit thinner and smoother. It doesn't easily glide between teeth, which makes me worry that I am going to cut my gums trying to force it. It is just very thick and rough. I would have returned it, but it was so small and inexpensive that it wasn't quite worth the hassle. I won't buy it again, though."

"I have been using this dental tape for several years. My dental hygienest and dentist have repeatedly commented on the lack of tartar on my teeth since I started using this tape. It is wonderful at removing all the plaque from between the teeth. It is a little thick and the wax is a little sticky which makes it very effective."

"I love the tape because it seems to scrub in between your teeth better than regular floss. Tastes fine...doesn't seem like you're using a natural product."

"It serves the purpose. We are not as pleased with the feel and effectiveness with this as the typical commercial GLIDE brand. HOWEVER!!!!! Given the eco/health factors, we are pleased to switch. The tape is great for my more mature teeth (the floss is preferred for my daughter's young teeth!). It does shred more easily than the other brands."

"This is a great product if you have slight spacing between your teeth. I have very tight contacts and find it hard to get this tape between my teeth due to the fact that it's wide and thicker than a regular floss. The floss shredded a bit because of that reason. That is why I rated 'Satisfaction" as 3 stars. Otherwise this is an awesome tape for very effective flossing."

"This tape does a better job of cleaning those "slightly too wide" spaces between teeth than common floss. And it still slides happily between normal spaced teeth. Then, you also get the benefit of tea tree oil to kill those bacteria!"
