Sadly cannot recommend as mine lasted just 3 months. I went back to normal flossing afterwards.

I've heard a lot of people saying they have longevity issues which is sad because they really appeal to me. I just have fingers crossed that mine lasts as I am sick of the dog running round the house with bits of used dental floss from bathroom bin hanging out of his French mouth (he's a French bulldog, God dogs can be gros) lol. Only good point is if it does fail you have 2 year guarantee to fall back on
Not sure why as it works for me but try the link kindly posted above by thecrazyfox

Yep, appreciate there is. But there is also the hassle of returning the thing/getting a replacement if it fails - and they have a fairly high failure rate.
In use, I'd reckon them to be about 70% as effective as normal flossing - particularly if your teeth are very close together (some of mine are so close that even floss gets shredded in the process).
That said, definitely worth trying if you have frenchie with a floss fixation in the house (as per fluffy25 above) or simply cannot get on with flossing.

John Lewis do free returns just incase it does fail, also the GDC seems to prefer the air/water floss to dental floss especially if teeth close together as the force of trying to get the floss tape into the teeth quite often causes the gums to bleed as the patient ends up cutting into the gum line causing the blood vessels to open up and be open to added infection. My frenchie is most upset to have lost his source of flossing fun and he will now have to revert to staring at the babies nappy bin in the hope it will spontaneously open and spew out all the goodies inside lol

Sounds good as every bit of saving is great, just check that the company they made the offer though is still John Lewis (as they sometimes find offers with a different seller) as if not I think the extra £1.05 is worth the additional year guarantee via JL. Good find tho
