Noosa Basics Dental Floss with Activated Charcoal - Spearmint

Floss works really well! Low scent is great, moves between my teeth easily. Comes in cardboard box with a small plastic spool. It doesn't wind well so gets bunched up a lot in the box. I just take it out, cut out the cardboard with the little metal cutter and put it into a jar instead. Which I don't mind doing if it means avoiding plastic packaging like conventional floss. However, I am disappointed that it is not 100% coconut fiber, but instead polyester as well. That is not clear on the box, nor was it clear on Noosa Basics website until recently. All in all, I would not buy it again because it is still plastic and an expensive floss. I would only pay that much if it was 100% natural. I will be looking for an alternative compostable floss that won't kill wildlife.

Best option on the Aussie market!

Love love love love this! The only option on the Australian market without plastic packaging and made from plant fiber. The floss is very strong, durable, perfect width to get between my teeth, smells great and can be composted! The team at Noosa Basics are absolutely wonderful, I fully trust their decisions and ethics. I have previously emailed back and forth about the previous plastic packaging for their floss at the time, my concerns were met with honesty, transparency of their practices and genuine interest. They were very open to long discussions on what the options are to continually improve their products as more environmentally friendly options become available. They are clearly striving for a genuine, good quality, ethical, sustainable brand. It's a ... MoreLove love love love this!

Feels great

I used to use the satin tape stuff because I've got large gaps so need some thickness in my floss, the plastic thread stuff just didn't cut it. But THIS, THIS is the best feeling dental floss I've come across. You know when floss snaps pass the teeth, hits your gums and that twang hurts? This just doesn't! It's softer. Also, the floss being black, shows up all the stuff you're removing. So satisfying.

Great alternative

This floss is like a cotton thread so I was a bit skeptical when I first used it. It works just as well as the colgate waxed floss I was using and in some ways it is better. Flossing with black string made me realise that there actually was some sort of sticky gunk between ALL of my teeth that you can't see on white floss. You have to re-do some teeth more than once until the black floss comes out clean. I would have never figured this out with white floss. Took one star off as it is supposed to be oiled but the oil is hard and scrapes off the floss as you pull it out. Doesn't affect the use though and I will keep buying this one.

I love flossing now!

As a busy mum I would seriously love to flip into bed rather than floss every night. This has been a game changer. The floss is great tasting and because it’s black you can see what you’re removing... so it’s a definite incentive to floss every day.The two strand design tends to trap particles and it has a pleasant taste. Oh and it’s better for the environment. I’m sold! I’ve just ordered more because I love flossing now! It doesn’t hurt my gums and my teeth feel noticeably cleaner.

Strengthened with polyester..

I thought I'd found a natural floss that was effective and compostable.. until I read the back of the box to discover it's strengthened with polyester.. so plastic. Which was disappointing as it wasn't mentioned in the description and the back of the box wasn't photographed. So if you're not after an environmentally friendly/natural product without plastic I'd recommend, however my hunt for a good compostable floss continues.

The Best Dental Floss In The World

This bamboo coated dental floss with activated charcoal in aniseed flavour is THE BOMB! It's waxy and sticky and really gets out all the gunk between your teeth. I've never used a dental floss this effective before now. It's truly awesome dental floss. I'll be buying more and I'll never use any other type again.

The best floss by far.

The best floss by far. Thick and doesn’t break like other eco brands and really gets those things in between the teeth.Only gripe is the cardboard box packaging. Another user said she pops them in the normal plastic floss container and it works.Waiting for a refillable container that’s more sturdy in the near future hopefully.
