How to use Woven String Floss

Flossing, made simpler. quip Woven String Floss is composed of 1000+ soft woven filaments for a smooth, no-snag glide between teeth — plus the dispenser is refillable, helping you do your part for your mouth and the planet.

Mint and Watermelon flavors make it a little more enjoyable, while details like color marks every 18” to help you use just the right amount every day help remove the guesswork as easily as plaque. Let’s break it down in case you need a refresher.

How to floss

Step 1: Pull

Before you brush, preferably before bed, pull floss from the dispenser until you reach the color mark, then cut.

quip tip: Each color mark = 18”, the perfect amount of floss for a full clean.

Step 2: Wrap

Wrap floss around your fingers, leaving about an inch of floss between your thumbs and forefingers.

quip tip: That length gives you enough floss to move to a fresh section between teeth as you go.

Step 3: Glide

Gently slide between your teeth, moving up and down in a "C" shape around each tooth and just under the gumline.

quip tip: Be gentle and take your time.

Step 4: Repeat

Work your way around the mouth, using a clean section of floss each time.

That’s it. Now you can brush your teeth. (Brushing only cleans about 60% of tooth surfaces — flossing does the rest!)

How to refill your dispenser

Swapping out your spool is quick, simple, and designed to keep your routine running smoothly.

Step 1: Open

Lift the lid, then pull the front toward you to open. Remove the little ring.

Step 2: Insert

Take your new 45-yard refill, keeping the loose floss on the left. Gently drop in your new spool (do not press).

Step 3: Thread

Guide floss through the back notch. Close the front piece with the new floss ready to go.

quip tip: One refill gives you up to 3 months of daily flossing.
