*Bamboo Charcoal Floss contains 2% of polyester
Nylon dental floss.
Traditional dental floss is usually made from either nylon (petroleum), teflon (the chemical mouthful polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), or synthetic wax (petroleum).
These toxins can be absorbed into your bloodstream during those times that you floss a little too hard, or it’s been, say, longer than the suggested three times a day since your last floss.
Discarded dental floss cannot be recycled, takes 30-80 years to break down, and can be harmful to wildlife.
Floss refills replace the need for plastic dental floss containers and allow you to refill and reuse instead.

CanadaI've tried all three floss (flosses?) and I'm really happy with them all. My teeth are on the tighter side so I prefer the bamboo and silk, but the corn floss isn't bad either. I find that the corn floss was somewhat more gentle on my gums although it would break off if the food was really lodged there lol The glass containers also have a beautiful, clean design.
Hi Lorena - thanks a lot for your review!! We're glad you got to try all of them, that's impressive :)
CanadaI have been looking for a compostable floss for years and so happy that one exists! The feel is great in the mouth but if I'm not careful I tend to tear the floss meaning I use more than normal. Will try the other types to see if this is because I have a few tight spots.
Hi Michelle - thanks for the review. Although the corn is 100% biodegradable, compostable and vegan, it will break easily if you have tighter gaps between your teeth. But you're doing great and yes feel free to try our other floss in the future.
CanadaI have been trying to find a n earth friendly, silk worm friendly floss and we hit the jackpot with the bamboo! We ordered both the corn and bamboo to try. The corn broke too easily and we found it was hard to use with our tight teeth. Absolutely no issues with the bamboo, will be buying more!
Hi Dorena - thanks for your review, we're glad you got to try different ones and that you found the perfect one for your gum and teeth :)
CanadaLife UnPacked is a great company with sound and transparent standards for environmental protection. Orders arrive promptly and the product is outstanding. My teeth are very tight (the dental floss often breaks at the dentist) so the corn silk doesn't work for me. The plain silk is a success though and I always feel good knowing that this product will be kind to the earth and the animals.
Hi Anita- thanks for the review, we're glad you found the perfect floss. Silk and Bamboo are good for those with tighter space between their teeth and corn for wider space. Welcome to the life UNpacked family!
CanadaI am loving my corn floss. I've hated the plastic/packaging waste of mainstream dental floss enough to just not floss, so really really happy to buy conscience AND Canadian!
Hi Sally-Ann! We're glad you're enjoying our corn floss and that you're flossing again. Your dentist will be very happy :) the planet too!!
