Sometimes you get a defective one where the floss breaks. Usually at least one bad one in every bag. a b Thatchenkery, Tojo; Metzker, Carol (2006). Appreciative intelligence: seeing the mighty oak in the acorn. San Francisco, California: Berrett-Koehler Publishers. p. 18. ISBN 978-1-57675-353-8. The origin of Glide (which is what the brand was called prior to the P&G acquisition) dates to 1971, when Bill Gore first used a Gore-Tex fiber to floss his own teeth; [1] Gore-Tex was the PTFE-based fiber he had invented as a "waterproof laminate". The company failed to market the product for more than three decades. Ultimately, it succeeded by marketing to dentists rather than selling the floss as a consumer product. It was widely adopted, and grew to be the #1 brand of floss in dental office use, and #2 floss in retail. [1]The downside of sanitary and disposable is all that plastic waste. Not as environmentally friendly as they should be.

Environmentalists have recommended non-PTFE brands, discouraging the use of the environmentally unfriendly Teflon. [5] There is also a health concern given the use of perfluorooctanoic acid, a possible carcinogen, in the making of Teflon. [6] A 2019 study showed that some women who had flossed with Glide had elevated levels of perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS) in their blood compared to non-flossers, and fluorine compounds were identified in Glide (as well as 5 other brands of floss out of 18 brands tested). [7] Procter & Gamble, however, disputes this finding. [8] "The study, led by Silent Spring Institute in collaboration with the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, CA, appears online ... in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology (JESEE), and is part of a special issue dedicated to PFAS ( per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)."

In September 2003, Gore sold the brand to Procter & Gamble, who at the time announced its intention to brand the product under the Crest product line. [2] The terms of the sale provided that Gore would continue to manufacture and develop the product. [3] In 2010, Procter & Gamble rebranded the product as Oral-B Glide.
