Quip, electric toothbrush leader, launches Quip Floss Pick
Quip’s electric toothbrush subscription service is one of the best value options out there. The brand hopes its new flossing product will prove to be the same.
Flossing, or interdental cleaning, helps remove debris and plaque from in between your teeth, according to the American Dental Association, which argues flossing is “an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums.” The ADA also lends its Seal of Acceptance to various oral hygiene products that meet its criteria regarding safety, efficacy, composition, labeling, package inserts, advertising and promotion. While the new Quip Floss Pick earned that seal, it’s not the only one nor your only option when it comes to ADA-accepted floss, or interdental cleaners.
Sans the pick, Quip’s refillable floss string hits the style and ease marks with a handheld, lipstick-sized floss pack that makes grabbing a bit of string easy refills via subscription every three months. You can get it, like the Floss Pick, in four different colors: Silver, Slate, Copper or Gold.
If you haven’t come across these online or at stores, you’ve likely come across something like it, from the likewise ADA-accepted CVS Health floss and DenTek’s kids floss to natural-centric Tom’s Naturally Waxed Flat Floss. You get 150 picks in this pack, each sporting a built-in tongue scraper.
Another popular and highly-rated option comes from Oral-B. This pocket-sized floss pack gives you 40 meters (about 44 yards) of waxed floss. The brand claims its design results in the floss sliding “50 percent more easily” than regular floss.
