Advantages: Strong, minty, lots in the pack, pretty cheap, cleans quickly
Disadvantages: None whatsoever
I bought this tape after a family member was recommended it by our dentist over standard string floss. He said that the bigger surface area would clean her teeth better and he also recommended it over the string for the majority of other people's teeth too.
I have both Oral-B String and tape floss so can make a easy comparison between the two most popular flossing products. The tape appears to be far easier to use than the string as, like I said before, it has a wider surface area which can clean more of each tooth at once. I have found that I can complete my clean a minute or two faster by using the tape over my usual string floss.
The tape itself leaves my mouth feeling nice and clean due to the strong minty taste and smell it leaves behind. When combined with both toothpaste and mouthwash in my bi-daily routine, there is so much mint in my mouth!
The tape is very strong and has never broken in my hands or teeth. However it still breaks off from the rest of the reel using the cutter very easily - which is very good.
The box is very similar to many other boxes with the main feature being its compactness which makes it perfect to put in a bathroom draw or in your bag.
Summary: I would recommend everybody at least try this product if you are used to the standard string floss
