Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It works great IF you follow these important instructions which are not on the package and which took me awhile to learn. 1. Wrap the floss tape around the button four times VERY tightly. 2. After threading the floss according to the directions squeeze the prongs to add more tension on the floss when you wrap it around the button VERY tightly four times. Then release the prongs. You will know you have wrapped it tightly enough when the prongs remain closer together after you release the tension. The instructions on the package fail to emphasize how important it is to wrap the floss VERY tightly. Floss can be slippery in your fingers. You may have to try multiple wraps to get the tension strong enough to hold the floss tightly when you push it between your teeth. Also, when you position the floss over the teeth, push down on one of the prongs to help the floss pop into place between closely spaced or touching teeth. You can also push up on a prong to pop the floss out from between the closely packed teeth. When done right you will feel a satisfying "pop" as the floss slips into place. I am one of those people who never could learn to floss with the finger-wrap method. Now I floss every day and, yes, enjoy the process. The Flossmate makes flossing almost fun. Almost.
