Travel Size Dental Floss
When you're on the go, travel-size dental floss makes it easier to keep your teeth clean. Compact and lightweight, these small floss containers fit comfortably into a purse, a backpack or luggage. Pop one into a handbag, and you can floss after dinner out or put one in your suitcase for last-minute business trips.
Are There Different Types of Travel Size Dental Floss?
Travel-size dental floss typically comes in the same varieties as standard dental floss. Waxed dental floss, such as the waxed floss from CVS Health, which features a thin wax coating, tends to be strong. It can be a convenient option if your teeth tend to shred the floss. You can also look for a shred-resistant product, such as Oral-B Glide travel-size dental floss. Many types of floss are flavored to give you an extra burst of freshness after an airport meal or a long day of travel.
Some travel-size floss options are engineered to be more comfortable. CVS Health Extra Comfort floss slips easily between teeth, which can make for easier flossing if you have tight spacing. If you're on the road frequently, look for travel-size dental floss in bulk.
Can You Travel With Dental Floss Picks?
Dental floss picks typically come in large packs; however, each pack is small enough to slip into a suitcase. If you're trying to save space, you can store a few floss picks in a miniature makeup bag or toiletry bag. Choose an option with a zip or slide top to keep dirt away from your flossers. Always dispose of a floss pick after using it.
Are There Travel Dental Flosses for People With Braces?
If you have braces, you may not be able to use traditional travel-size dental floss. Instead, consider traveling with a threader-tip combo floss that slips between your teeth from the front rather than the top. These products typically flatten and expand to cover more surface area and adapt to the hardware on your teeth. Another alternative is a product such as Oral-B Superfloss, which features stiff ends for easy insertion and spongy sections to clean around your braces.
