How quip Dental Floss and Water Flossers make better habits simple
Flossing doesn’t need to feel like pulling teeth. Not when it fits seamlessly into your routine — and your counter. With quip’s Rechargeable Water Flosser and string dental floss, you get a gentle, effective clean in a sleek, travel-friendly design. Your routine can be easy, thoughtful, and thorough.
Whether you’re a frequent flosser or a work-in-progress, quip’s got you covered — no guilt, no judgment, just better habits. Read below to find out why flossing is important, which method works best for you, and how to keep up with this often-overlooked key part of your dental hygiene.
Floss matters. Here’s why.
Have you ever sworn to start flossing every day, only to forget all about it by Thursday? You’re not alone! According to the CDC, only 1 in 3 Americans floss daily,2 like the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends.
The secret isn’t just knowing how to floss properly — it’s having the right tools, and setting yourself up for success while you build better habits. quip’s String Floss and Water Flosser are fun and easy to use, designed to help you keep promises you make between visits to the dental office.
Why is flossing important, anyway? Brushing alone doesn’t remove plaque and food debris between teeth. This provides a breeding ground for harmful bacteria that slowly erode tooth enamel and contribute to gum disease and bad breath (not fun for you or your friends). So, you uninvite gingivitis every time you clean between your teeth and along the gumline.
Better flossing isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency. Choose a product you actually enjoy using, and the rest will follow.
Refillable, easy-to-use quip Dental Floss
Traditional floss dispensers can be hard to use, and easy to toss once empty. quip Floss String is designed with your daily routine (and the planet!) in mind, with refillable, recyclable metal or plastic dispensers to cut down on waste. Each section of string is pre-marked to get the perfect 18-inch piece every time, no mess, no guesswork. Easy to use, easy to love, for a routine made to stick with you.
With quip Floss String, you get two options:
- Expanding Floss: Stretches to glide in, then fluffs up to clean more surface area between teeth
- Sliding Floss: Coated to slip smoothly between tight spaces — perfect for snug smiles
- Both: Effective plaque-removal with a fresh mint flavor
Why quip has the best Water Flosser
Think of a water flosser as string floss’s high-tech cousin — good-for-you habits, now streaming. The quip Water Flosser uses a gentle jet of water to clean between your teeth and along the gumline. It’s ideal for folks with braces, bridges, implants, or anyone who just prefers a little extra pressure, customization, and portability (compared to other water flossers on the market that have a countertop-hogging tank).
Here’s what makes it the best water flosser for travel and daily use:
- Up to 99.9% of plaque removal from treated areas1
- Two intensities and two flow settings (gentle or deep clean, on-demand or steady)
- Easy-fill reservoir that fill fast and flosses for a full minute
- Magnetic charging (cable included), clutter-free
Whether you’re a floss purist or looking for dental hygiene tips, the quip Water Flosser helps you go with the flow.
So… which flossing method is best?
It’s not either/or, but both/and. The most important thing is to floss daily — we recommend switching between string and water floss depending on what feels best each day. String floss is great for tight teeth. Water flossers shine in hard-to-reach areas and offer a gentler option for sensitive gums.
Both are very effective. Both are backed by dental pros. And lucky for you, quip makes both — with the kind of thoughtful design that is fun and easy to use. Because the best routine is the one you actually do (especially when it comes to flossing).
In a nutshell:
- String floss is best for tight spaces and manual control
- Water flossers are great for orthodontics, customization, or gum sensitivity
- Using both? Gold star for you (and a cleaner, healthier smile)
