This one has a reusable handle, it’s just the little C shaped piece of plastic that the floss stretches across that is disposable. I’m sure it’s not ideal, but I can get several uses out of each one before changing the floss. I just rinse it in hydrogen peroxide when I’m done. https://www.amazon.com/Listerine-ULTRACLEAN-Flosser-Refills-Flavored/dp/B00PG59X2K/
Looking for a link to the one above, I found this one, which seems to replace the floss each time with a pretty nicely engineered system, I haven’t tried it though. https://www.orthomechanic.com/easy-flosser/ After watching the video I feel like I would drool into the floss spool compartment and or get it wet when rinsing the thing.
Those little plastic floss things are my weakness seriously. Nothing is better to floss with, objectively. I cannot use traditional floss to save my life. It’s the only wasteful thing I use maybe besides straws
There was this very popular kickstarter for this reusable floss pick (you just tie on new floss). I’m not sure how well they fulfilled kickstarter orders but i ordered one on their website, pre launch, and basically got a bounced email when I tried to contact them about it. Pretty unfortunate.
Eh I can see it being fine. Have a thin slot the floss clicks into on each side, click in the first, wrap around post, bridge the gap, wrap around the second post, click into thin slot. If it had some wag to cut the string after that’d be fine but the floss container usually has it already.
Those are separate problems. Kcups are wasteful vessels for producing coffee. The disposable cups are wasteful vessels for storing the coffee. it’s twice as wasteful to use kcups with disposable cups.
I also don’t get kcups in general. In what situation are the soft and paper-based Senseo pads not superior? He holders are easier to clean, they store better since they’re squishy and they come in smaller packs anyways. Plus they’re cheaper.
Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.
Oh that’s weird, ty. I wasn’t aware that Philips hadn’t actually spread their senseo machines worldwide. 🤔 Somehow always assumed they must have, considering how many years they’re around.
This one’s done to death, but kCups.
Also, plastic water bottles.
A more novel pick would be those plastic ez floss picks.
Other than just flossing with string, is there a good reusable floss holder?
Some people may have motor limitations that make flossing difficult. Or just find it gross
My ADHD effectively does not allow me to floss regularly with standalone floss. It’s either those or I’ll do it maybe once a month.
They are a bit more expensive than the plastic ones but they make plastic free ones.

Get a 3d printer and make one I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Could those be bamboo?

Tying floss onto one of those little picks sounds like an incredibly frustrating experience.

Kcups are less wasteful than a coffee in a disposable cup from a gas station or drive thru every day.

You also waste time and gas (if you drive) buying coffee outside your home.

Why would someone go for those cups instead? 😒

I see those types of coffee packets in almost all hotels across the us, so they’re around but I’ve definitely never seen them outside of that.
