Searching this, I see a couple options, mainly in the ‘Eco-friendly’ direction. (e.g. Made of corn husks or silk, etc.)

Has anyone found/tried a Canadian made floss? Any good? I can’t seem to find any at local stores, so it seems like a lot to spend to buy a single pack of floss and ship it here.

    Option+ makes a flosser (pre-strung holder) which is quite competitive with Oral B and GUM in both price and quality – Well.ca has 90 for 50 cents more than 90 Oral B, and it’s cheaper when we get it at Uniprix (Quebec).

      I was able to find this one locally, thanks! Though I was hoping to find a roll of floss since those pre-strung ones are kinda wasteful.

        I agree about the waste, not to mention the plastic. But I can’t be too critical, as I use interdental brushes for gum care and plaque control, and ain’t no bamboo interdental brushes with replaceable heads!

          Yeah, lately I’m finding I need to make trade-offs about what is important to me. Ideally I’d want Canada-owned/Canada-made AND less single use plastic, but sometimes I need to settle for something I can find, at least for things like dental floss where it’s a hygiene thing. (Though nice-to-have stuff I can just not buy it at all.)
