Wow Adult Floss Holder (Green/White/Black)-Patented Design Awards Winning Product, Easy, Comfort & Effective, Works Perfectly with Reach Waxed Nyl...

First one lasted a few months, second one lasted a few days. If you have tight gaps that floss tends to get stuck in, don't bother. It will eventually break at the neck. This is one of the only products that have worked for me as I have large hands and not a large mouth. It's unfortunate they aren't better quality for what you pay.

I bought the idi Toothbat Adult floss holder on June 8, and it arrived a few days later. This worked well, and was comfortable in my hand. But this evening, June 26th, it broke in half. The neck, the thinnest part, snapped, as you can see in the picture. I have had other floss holders, but they have never broken. This one worked very well, so I'm disappointed. I cannot recommend the idi Toothbat adult floss holder because it broke after only a couple of weeks use.

I honestly questioned myself when I bought this, but I'm glad I did. I would have a hard time paying full price (I'm cheap) but after using it a few days I think I probably would -- for the record, I got this on sale on Cyber Monday. The holder seems sturdy and should last for quite some time. My teeth are tight and I'm not that coordinated with my hands in my mouth, so I typically used the flossing sticks with the tape floss; while I was able to say I was flossing, it really never felt like it was cleaning between my teeth. With this holder, I am able to use the braided floss my dental hygienist uses - I can feel it scraping my teeth clean. The head of this flosser turns in only one direction, so once you have it rigged up with your chosen floss, you can adjust the tension as you go. I typically have to twist it a few clicks during the course of my flossing routine, but it's a breeze to do. I have not had the floss pop off any of the guides. It's been a really good product so far and has an easy learning curve.

I've always felt like the traditional method of flossing via sticking your fingers in your mouth felt a bit awkward, and have been considering purchasing a floss holder for some time. I probably held off buying one for as long as I did because the top hits that I got on ZeeBooth searching for a 'floss holder' yielded a lot products that looked either weak, made of cheap plastic, and/or a little too thick/unwieldy to make a much more convenient alternative than your fingers. This is my first floss holder, but if you've had the same aforementioned thoughts and have been willing to pay more money for something that I imagine works a lot more effectively, and will probably last longer (I've read the cheaper ones have a habit of breaking), I think this fits the bill in a way that justifies the comparatively extra expense. At the price point it's at right now ($15, 5-8 more than others), this probably a more appealing floss holder in form and functionality in comparison to the alternatives. Functionally, sure, there is a bit of room for improvement, but for me it works as well as I need it to. Following a method similar to one depicted in a video for the 'Toothbat WOW' (search 'Toothbat WOW' on YouTube), I've been able to get the floss pretty taut before I begin flossing. As another (albeit much more negative) review mentioned though, there is a tendency for the tension to loosen; I imagine this is a common problem with all floss holders, though this only happens to be about once or twice halfway through my flossing session, and is easily and quickly fixed by utilizing the unique twist action to re-tighten the floss (as opposed rethreading the entire thing like you'd most likely have to with others). Said review mentions that twisting it just pulls the entire length of the floss as opposed to increasing tension; I find this only happened when I was being stingy with the length of floss I threaded. The twist action works by locking the head into place incrementally in one direction, but a small problem I did have was that it'll sometimes 'slip' back before properly locking into the next step, which has me having to double check when I adjust to make sure it's secure. I think this is a good size which allows for a good-enough grip, and the design allows for a maneuvering in your mouth and between your teeth that feels more convenient than just your fingers. The handle is just a tiny bit thicker than my finger, and the product itself ends up being shy of 6 inches long. The "floss claw" that you thread the floss around is slim and compact, and it doesn't feel like it crowds my mouth. The plastic of the handle is thick and strong, while the plastic of the "floss claw", having to compromise for a slimmer form factor (for good reason), seems to be just strong enough that I'm not particularly worried about it breaking. It's ability to stand upright seems to be unfounded in other like-products and is a well appreciated feature in terms of saving counter space. Though not terribly important for its purpose, the aesthetic design of this is comparatively more attractive than other floss holders I've seen. The all-black one is probably the best looking variant; I got the black as well as the black-white, but the white-colored finish looked a bit more matte and...cheaper, than the pictures might suggest (though this is typical in any product advertising I guess). I imagine this would be the case for any of the other colorations. ---------------------------------- All in all, I'm flossing much more regularly and I attribute a part of that to this purchase. The short version of this review is that I would recommend this above other floss holders, despite being $5-8 dollars more than alternatives (at the time I'm writing this). Functional size and form that doesn't seem cramped in my mouth; seems comparatively more durable, and unique twist-action that mostly works (some room for improvement); having to retighten throughout a flossing session is not uncommon, but is relatively painless and quick thing to do with this feature. Only major gripe is that the gear driving the twist-action will sometimes slip back, necessitating a second or third try before it securely locks into place. Don't be stingy with the floss like I had a tendency to do and I think that'll be the most conducive to consistently good results.

This is a pretty genius product. I don't like to admit it but I've never been a regular flosser. It has always been such a pain. Despite not liking to do it by dentist has insisted that I do it. So, I was looking for something that would make the process a little more enjoyable. I've tried several things, but the creativity in the Toothbat design is very genius. Here are the things that I have found helpful: 1) Easy access. I no longer have trouble getting my big hands into my small mouth while trying to floss. Such a frustration. The toothbat actually has 3 sides that all have floss on available to them for access from different angles. 2) Easy to setup. Just a few seconds. No more than winding the floss around several of your fingers. 3) Easy to tighten. After using it for several teeth the floss can stretch and loosen. However, a very simple twist and click and the floss is now taught again. Super easy to keep it taught. 4) You can see more of what is happening. Seriously, part of the challenge of finger flossing is having on idea what is going on. Maybe it is just me but I always have worried about not flossing high enough or too high and not really knowing. Now I can see what is going on. If you love flossing with your fingers this may not be the right addition to your routine. If you don't floss currently OR want to work towards and easier way of doing it for yourself...give this a try. The overall construction and quality is great. This is a very well designed product. I've been using it for two weeks and haven't had any issues.
