    Actually looks like all Oral-B items are half price at Coles "excluding power brush refills & clearance items".

  • Thankyou. I prefer this as i can keep one at home and one in the car. Cheers

    100m? Must have big teeth. I usually only use 5-6cm.

    Trivia: How many do you need to encircle the earth’s equator?

      Around 400,750 packs, give or take.

      Can't believe i logged in to say that.

        Did you consider the mountains and buildings along the equator?

        • You can take that up with Google.

          FYI, the Flat Earth Society has various members from all around the globe!

    • Depends where did you consider the boundary of earth could be just the stratosphere so no mountains or and level. Haha

      • Or if you’re allowed to pass the floss through tunnels.

    Interesting fact: it's quite difficult to tie knots in dental floss. Whatever it's made from, it is very slippery, and most knots just slide apart. Just try to make a loop of dental floss, tying the ends together with a reef knot, and pull on the loop. The ends easily slide through the knot.

    I only know this because I like to tie the floss in a loop, so it doesn't slip out of my fingers while I'm using it. I've found that tying figure-8 knots on both ends, and then using a reef knot to make the loop, works. The reef knot still slips, but it usually stops slipping once the figure-8 knots jam up against the reef knot.

      There was a thing that you could use which had thread pull along 2 points just like in those disposable flossers. No need to wrap around fingers and you could use over and over again, but I can't find it anywhere to buy. It was brilliant, but seems it's not sold anywhere now.

      • I've got one of those, this is the one I bought, but I bought it at an Australian chemist shop:
        https://www.gumbrand.com/gum-flossmate-floss-handle-845pa.ht…

        I found that floss stretches while you are using it, so after you're half-way through your mouth, you have to undo and re-do the fastening. Also I found the tool more difficult to use than fingers. Hence my strategy of using a loop, so I don't have to garotte my fingers. I use roughly 30cm of floss to make the loop,so this deal should give me 333 days of flossing per 100m pack, under one cent per floss.

        • Ours looked more like a small cordless toothbrush, not like a rake. Now if they put some clips on it so the floss stays put, would be a great invention.

    Two lifetime supplies of dental floss for less than $3.

      I guess you don't floss

    • +1

      More like two months worth and with change left over in your pocket from having good oral hygiene and not being taken to the cleaners with your dentist bill.

  • This has been my favourite deal all year!

  • Great deal op :)

    Good deal but product isn't great. I find Oral-B floss shreds during use and gets stuck in your teeth. I am going back to Colgate (unless anyone has any better suggestions)

  • Bought this a while ago at $3.40. I thought that was a deal!

  • thanks op. Wasn't on Coles catalogues so I didn't bother to look at. bought two.

  • I don't mean to brag, but i have won both a 'First Post Wonder' and 'Popular Deal' badge.

    Thank you.

    • Aaaand you just did 👌

    • As I purchased a lifetime supply of these last night I briefly contemplated posting this deal to ozbargain but dismissed the thought on the premise that nobody shared my enthusiasm for dental floss. Now I see what an idiot I was. The glory could have been mine!!

        As I purchased a lifetime supply of these last night I briefly contemplated posting this deal to ozbargain but dismissed the thought on the premise that nobody shared my enthusiasm for dental floss. Then i changed my mind, proving that with time i generally become less of an idiot. The glory is mine, all mine i say!!

        BTW these do kind of date - in terms of dry out. I set my lifetime on this occasion to about 4x packs + one of each of the other ones.

  • Does anyone actually prefer the Coles brand version of this? The tape is more of a ribbon and I think it cleans better.
