instructions & tips

Watch these short videos for different ways to load the floss. We’ve combined a simple tool with your fingers to load the floss and control the tension; increase tension and use a gentle left-right motion to pass through contact points between teeth, then loosen to hug your teeth into gums as you floss in an up-down motion. friendly floss’ design has carefully rounded edges to protect your gums, a small size and pencil-like handle to help access all teeth and is easy to clean, for use again and again.

Troubleshooting? Please see our FAQs.

We find that wrapping your middle finger leaves your index finger free to better control the floss.

Works well and so pleased to have something reusable and plastic free

 by Etsy UK review on friendly floss

Really appreciated the link to videos showing how to thread the flosser. Lovely to have a sustainable option!

 by Etsy UK review on friendly floss

Item quality and delivery were all fine, however it's actually really difficult to floss with this tool so I can't give it a full 5 stars to no fault of the seller.

Our response: Hi, thanks for the review - we put together this quick video showing the simplest way to thread friendly floss and then it should be as easy to use as a floss pick, with the added benefit that you control the tension of the floss and can reuse it again and again - Watch this video to see how.

Great product, makes flossing easier without all the plastic waste of single use floss harps. Useful videos on their website for floss threading methods.

Top quality floss holder. I encourage everyone to get one and tell your friends to get one too 😃 I don't feel embarrassed if I leave it laying on the side of the sink whereas I did when I accidentally left a plastic one there. Super fast delivery. You can put it in the dishwasher!! Seller very friendly and helpful.

Excellent product, getting the knack of threading took a wee while but once sussed works great.

Can't get the floss to hold properly.

Our response: Hi, thanks for your feedback which helped us to improve our threading instructions for 'the finger - simplest way' so that the floss holds super well. Please watch this video to find out how.

One of the better quality reusable floss holders available

 by Etsy UK review on friendly floss

The shape of an Angel suggests the Friendly Flosser will be a great companion in any pocket. Not normally a fan of liking jewellery worn by men this Flosser is an exception. I also love its sculptural appeal, - a haptic pleasure.

As a dental hygienist whose encouragement of flossing is a priority, many of my patients feel disheartened by the impact many dental tools have on the environment. Having tried and tested friendly floss, it is refreshing to find a flosser that not only is effective and kind to the planet, but also will stand the test of time.

using friendly floss? we’d love to know what you think

our sustainable packaging

We have designed our packaging to be plastic free by using a single piece of recyclable kraft card that folds in on itself to hold friendly floss for delivery and display, and on disposal breaks back down for recycling.
