Who doesn't love a company with adorable packaging and beautiful branding?
I'm a sucker for thoughtful packaging and branding.
But when it's combined with something we as humans need to do on the daily and we look cute (well flossing doesn't always look cute) doing it, then it's a hell yes for me.
The Importance of Daily Flossing
Do you floss your teeth? No judgement if you don't do it as much as you should, but I'm here to convince you that you need to be doing it daily, and with the right floss.
Like brushing our pearly whites, flossing is also necessary if we want to have a healthy mouth and good oral hygiene.
The Risks of PFAS
But along the way, manufacturers have added unnecessary, harmful ingredients dental floss.
Some of these harmful ingredients include PFAS, if you don't know what PFAS are, they are man-mad chemicals that have been used in various industries since the 1940s. PFAS, also known as FOREVER CHEMICALS. They are linked to various health issues including cancer, thyroid disease, decreased fertility, and immune system problems.
Dental floss is typically coated with PFAS to make it glide more easily between teeth. However when we floss our teeth and this floss comes in contact with our mouth tissue or we bleed a little bit, these chemicals enter our bloodstream.
YIKES.
I'm all about eliminating my toxic load for my precious body that I only have one of.
Education is Key
Once I learned this from reading "Fatal Conveniences" by Darin Olien and listening to podcasts about oral hygiene, I realized that I need to be smarter about the dental floss I'm choosing to put in my mouth every day.

I mean look at how cute this little guy/gal is
My favorite flavor is the mint, for obvious reasons. I like to keep it basic when it comes to what I use to clean my mouth, we don't need to get too fancy. But I'd be curious to hear if you prefer the other flavors!
You can purchase Cocofloss in sets, or solo. They also have cute Kids refillable floss sticks.
Who doesn't love a subscription too? You can save 10% by subscribing and just have your floss show up at your door without thinking about it.
They keep it environmentally friendly by allowing you the option to just purchase refills.
I keep Cocofloss in my purse, my car, my work backpack and obviously, my bathroom.
Make the Switch
Once you go Cocofloss, you can't go back.
I've tried to use my regular floss but the flavors are overpowering and knowing what I know now about the chemicals that are in our dental floss, I just don't want to be exposing my mouth to anything other than clean dental floss.
Since switching to Cocofloss, I have felt better about my overall oral hygiene. Knowing I'm using a clean and effective floss daily, along with the convenience of their subscription service, has made a lasting impact on me. If you're looking to prioritize clean ingredients and upgrade your oral care, Cocofloss is definitely worth trying. Your teeth, gums and smile will thank you!
