The great dental quest: searching for planet-friendly floss

Picture this: you’re a brave explorer, armed with nothing but a bamboo toothbrush and a burning desire to keep your gums happy without trashing the planet. You’ve conquered the plastic toothbrush mountain, switched to toothpaste tablets, but then… the dreaded floss dilemma. Most of the stuff at the store is basically just plastic string, right? I literally stood in the oral care aisle for like twenty minutes, reading labels and feeling like I was prepping for a pop quiz. So here’s the story idea: imagine a group of eco-adventurers on a mission to find the Holy Grail of sustainable floss. Maybe one person swears by silk floss (but then someone else points out the whole “it’s not vegan” thing), another tries those weird corn-fiber ones that shred halfway through, and someone else is convinced water flossers are the answer (but their bathroom ends up looking like a car wash). Throw in a few mishaps—like someone accidentally composting their floss before using it, or trying to make homemade floss out of hemp twine and regretting it instantly. Maybe they stumble across some ancient, secret floss recipe passed down from zero-waste grandmas. Or maybe there’s a plot twist where the dog eats the fancy refillable floss container. What would your character try next in this eco-quest? Anyone ever actually found a floss that doesn’t suck and doesn’t end up in a landfill? I’m still searching, and honestly, my teeth (and conscience) are getting impatient.

I hear you on the water flossers—I've been debating if they're actually better for the environment in the long run or just another gadget that'll end up in a landfill. For those who've switched, did you notice a difference in gum health or is it mostly about convenience?
