Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWTH! I've been buying Glide floss for years. Lately it breaks several times as I use it. This
morning after it had broken a couple of times I held it up to the light. Every few inches the material was thinner than other parts. The areas of thinness are where the floss always snaps.
Bastards! 🤬

(4,999 posts)Never a problem before. This new container -- every third time I use it it breaks.
It's the fall of floss.
It must be a conspiracy for two separate brands to do this.

(7,490 posts)I started using Glide because my dentist did and I definitely saw the difference in quality. Now it's almost as bad as the cheap brands. I guess they are doing like about every other corporation - cutting back on costs by using less material or charging more - or both.
