Cheap Thrills: CocoFloss.

I know - dental floss... not the kind of thing that I would normally get excited about, but honestly, as well as being a rather stylishly marketed product (there's a bit of a buzz about it at the moment with over a thousand Instagram posts of CocoFloss - say what!) CocoFloss is very, very effective.

CocoFloss is made from microfiber filaments which means it is super-strong so it won't break or shred when you use it. It also expands when used and this coupled with it's uneven surface texture means that it does a much better job of removing plaque compared to regular drugstore flosses. CocoFloss is also soft to the touch so it won't hurt sensitive gums (or your fingers!)
It comes in a cute package and the floss itself is brightly coloured which is fun (and apparently highly Instagramable).

If, like me, you are not too keen on mint you will be pleased to hear that CocoFloss comes in different flavours which are created by infusing the floss with natural oils. Of course there is a Fresh Coconut flavour (which is the one I have and I must say it's very nice indeed, not too strong, tasting fresh rather than cloying), as well as Assorted Fruit flavour, Strawberry, Cara Cara Orange, and for traditionalists Delicious Mint.

Now although it is a 'Cheap Thrill' Cocofloss does cost more than drugstore floss. It is $8.00 for 32yards (which will last you two months or so) but it should, fingers crossed, mean that over the years you end up spending less on your dentistry.

You can buy it direct from cocofloss.com Shipping is free on all orders, and if you buy three rolls at once it will cost you $21.00. Finally get this - there is a floss subscription plan available!

If you want to add a little fun to your daily tooth brushing you really should check this floss out.

(I can't believe I just wrote all this about floss but honestly it is that good!)
