Haha, “dental archaeologist” is spot on—been there, picking out those mystery fibers mid-floss. I totally relate to the tight teeth struggle. The cheap stuff just doesn’t cut it for me either, but hey, whatever keeps you flossing is a win in my book. Sometimes you just need that backup roll for emergencies or when you’re traveling and don’t want to risk the good stuff going MIA in your luggage.
Honestly, I thought I was the only one who ended up with those weird floss shreds stuck between my molars—like, is that dental archaeology or modern art? I’ve tried those bargain floss packs, but they always seem to snap or get wedged in the tight spots. Still, I keep a roll in my travel bag just in case. I guess it’s better than skipping flossing altogether, but man, sometimes I wonder if I’m doing more harm than good with the cheap stuff. Anyone else ever get paranoid about leaving floss pieces behind?
That floss shred thing drives me nuts, too... I’ve definitely had to fish out a stray thread or two with tweezers after a late-night flossing session. Have you ever tried those floss picks instead? I’m curious if they’re really any less likely to leave bits behind.

Been there, done that—nothing like playing dental surgeon with tweezers at midnight. Floss picks are hit or miss for me. Sometimes they’re smoother, but I swear the cheap ones can snap and leave you with even weirder plastic bits. Honestly, if you find a brand that doesn’t shred, stick with it like your life depends on it... or at least your sanity.
Tweezers in the bathroom at midnight—been there, not my proudest moment. I’ve had those cheap floss picks break mid-floss and leave me with a plastic shard wedged between two molars. Honestly, it’s like a weird rite of passage. I did find that the slightly pricier store-brand floss (not the absolute cheapest, but not fancy either) holds up way better. Still, I always keep a pair of tweezers handy... just in case.
