Colgate Floss (Waxed) is a durable, easy-to-use floss that resists breaking and removes plaque from between your teeth and at the gumline. It helps to protect gums and reduce tooth decay when used as part of a daily oral care regime.
Using dental floss is important to keep your smile healthy, as it reaches the places your toothbrush simply can't.

Super strong[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Colgate Total Waxed Floss is a reliable and effective addition to any oral hygiene routine. The wax coating allows it to glide smoothly between teeth, making it easy to use even in tighter spaces. It’s gentle on the gums but strong enough not to shred or break during use — a common issue with cheaper alternatives.
One of the standout features is its durability. Even after multiple passes, the floss holds up well without fraying. It also does a great job of removing plaque and food debris, leaving your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.
The downside is not been flavoured.

Utter garbageThis new floss is so horrible. I couldn't even put it between my teeth, because of the thickness of that. When finally after struggling and putting in a sheer amount of strength I got this trash floss between my teeth it shredded and not only once.
It was my favorite product because I had these exact problems with other brands, now, I can only hope that sales and reviews will be so bad that hopefully, they will fire that utter oaf that designed this garbage and bring back old floss.

Happy mum[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this product a 90 out of 100 only the missing 10 is because for me personally I prefer it with the minty flavour that’s in the floss but the kids loved it because they didn’t like the meat flavour in the other brands and the other types of floss so for the kids side they absolutely loved it. They’ve already gone through it all then you’ve got me who loved it would’ve preferred with a bit of flavouring but that’s okay But again for me it was more about the fraying and the breakage of the floss. Maybe Colgate can look at bringing out to one without and one with a hit and then everyone’s happy. I’ll definitely be buying this from now on in.

Colgate Total Waxed Floss by Donnie[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have some problems with my gums due to stress from a trauma about 25 years ago. I have flossed every night now for over 20 years. I have tried various different brands. Sometimes the floss will snap and break. Other times it will split and fray or shred as it catches on my teeth. Or even just trying to get a little piece of floss can be hard too. But, I was very interested to try this new floss as it is free from PFAS/PTFE. There’s no flavour and the floss itself feels strong too which is great. It’s very easy to use, it glides easily between my teeth. I liked using it. Will definitely buy this floss in future. I feel it’s a healthier choice.

Review for Colgate Floss – Disappointed with the bew designDisappointed with the New Design
I've been using Colgate floss for years and always loved it. The old design was excellent—strong, smooth, and effective. However, the recent change is the worst improvement ever. The new floss gets stuck between my teeth and shreds way too easily, making flossing frustrating instead of easy. I don’t understand why they changed something that was already working perfectly. If Colgate doesn’t bring back the old design, I’ll have to switch to another brand. Very disappointed!

Improvements are rubbishWe used to buy this floss all the time. The improvements are rubbish and do the opposite to what they claim, they shred more and get stuck between your teeth.

Glides easily between teeth[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Colgate dental floss is a really good product. I have teeth that are close together, which is often a problem when flossing as the floss gets stuck and can be uncomfortable to remove. I had no such issues with Colgate floss, it glided between my teeth easily. The only problem I found with the floss was that it shredded when flossing my back molars. This wasn’t a huge issue though as I simply used another strip of floss to complete the job. I would purchase this product again based on how easily it flossed between my teeth
