Karin's Floss

My friend Karin worked on the redesign of the packaging of the new Reach dental floss and had given me a product sample last year to try. I am a flosser, but maybe not an everyday flosser, although I would like to give off the impression that I am that type of girl. But when I tried the Ultraclean sample that Karin gave me, I was totally hooked. I flossed every day, morning and night, until the sample was gone. I evens started flossing with like a two inch long piece, in order to make it last longer. So now, every time I go into a drugstore, I check to see if they carry it, because I am that obsessed with this particular floss.

It is that good.

Seriously. Imagine springy elastic in a lovely shade of blue, the exact color of those plastic paper bibs that dentists roach clip onto your shirt whenever you get a cleaning. The floss knocks the pants off of any other floss on the market. Comparatively, Glide is now in the same category as that cheap G.U.M. waxed floss the dentist gives out for free (which I happily use), for me, and it used to be the gold standard. In fact, the moment I came home from the drugstore, I ripped open the package and immediately began to floss (after washing my hands). And I had just flossed before going to the drugstore. It was almost as pleasurable as eating the Smarties + Haribo bears candy that I got in Frankfurt. Almost.

oh, and my most favorite part? How freaking cool the packaging itself is. It is so cool looking that I saved the insert to the package.
