🚨 4 Reasons People Who Read Ingredient Labels Are Switching To This New Type of Floss Pick

You read the labels. You filter the water. And you've (hopefully) swapped out the non-stick Teflon pans. 
 

But have you ever looked at what your floss is actually made of? 
 

Neither had I. 

 

Turns out there's a reason why these companies aren't required to tell you what the thread is made of. And once you know, you can't un-know it.
 

Here's what's going on.

You Press It Against The Most Absorbent Part of Your Body Every Single Night

I want you to think about that for a second.

 

Against your gumline. Every single night. Sometimes more than once, I know I use it after lunch too.

 

Here's what most people don't think about: the gumline isn't like skin. It's soft, vascular tissue. The kind that actually absorbs things. 

It's the same reason certain medications are designed to dissolve under your tongue instead of being swallowed, that tissue quickly absorbs it.
 

And you're running a thread along it 365 days a year.
 

So here's a question. What is your floss thread made out of?

 

Most people just never thought to ask.

97%

Floss with PFAS banned in Vermont, Colorado, and Minnesota

That Smooth Glide Feeling? It Has a Story.

Ever wondered why some flosses just... glide so easily?

In 2019, researchers at the Silent Spring Institute looked into it. They tested 18 popular flosses for PFAS markers. Several came back positive, including some of the most widely used glide-style flosses on the market. Women who used those flosses had higher blood levels of a PFAS compound.

Also, quick background if you need it: PFAS are a family of synthetic chemicals that don't break down — in the environment or in your body. 

They've been linked to a range of health concerns and well studied in their relation to thyroid disruption, immune system interference, hormonal changes, and certain cancers, etc. This is why states and countries have been banning them from cookware, food packaging, and clothing, especially anything that comes into contact with your mouth (ding-ding, floss.)

 

You've probably seen the documentaries about nonstick pans. Same stuff. 

And guess what? It took 50 years after knowing the chemical in nonstick pans was dangerous before it got officially banned... 

Because, as you know, "legal processes take time." 

And the only thing at risk is us, the consumers.

Those "Natural" Picks You Already Tried? Yeah, they're still Nylon.

This is the part that's almost worse.

Maybe you've gone down this rabbit hole already and switched to safer floss.
 

You see the green packaging. A bamboo claim. A leaf on the label, labeled "natural."

You buy it and figure the problem is solved.

But then you decide to do a little research.

 

"Most of the time these bamboo floss are fake… made of nylon." — r/ZeroWaste

 

"After reading the fine print I'm finding out that most 'non-plastic' ones still have some plastic in them." — r/ZeroWaste

 

Sound familiar?

 

This is the part that gets frustrating. The packaging gets a rebrand, they change some colors and smack a leaf on it, and we buy it because we (silly us) thought these companies would actually tell us the truth. 

And look, most brands still don't even tell you clearly what the floss itself is made from, just what the handle is.
 

What you actually want to know is: what is the thread? Most brands make that surprisingly hard to find out.

 

So what are we actually supposed to do about this? If you're anything like me, you know what I had to do.

So I Spent Three Weeks Researching.

I started looking.

I went through brand after brand. I messaged companies directly asking one simple question: what is the thread in your floss pick actually made of?

 

Most didn't reply. A few sent back a basic response that didn't answer the question. One sent me a PDF that listed the handle material and nothing else.

 

Then I found Bare.

 

They actually sent me their third-party test results of their floss. It included a full material breakdown for the thread, handle, packaging. There was no PFAS, no nylon, and no microplastics. Bamboo charcoal fiber, plant-derived and biodegradable.

 

That was it. 

 

That was the answer I'd been looking for from every other brand.

It works great on my tight teeth too with their tightly woven bamboo threads, so I don't have to worry about the shredding.

The most important thing though? I don't have to wonder what I'm putting in my mouth.

 

I'll leave the link below if you want to check it out. They've got a 90-day guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work for you, you're not out anything.
 

And look, Colorado already banned it. Minnesota already banned it. Vermont just banned it. I wouldn't wait around for your state to be the one that finally tells you this was worth paying attention to.
