My teeth are too close together, tape like that doesn't fit.. that's why I was using the glide one.

Mine are too, and I use Colgate Total floss. It's a tape floss that's thinner than Glide, and it has less odor and flavor. I have a Waterpik that I use, but I think that the floss works better.

Stores here don't stock it, so I buy it on Amazon or eBay. Colgate also makes a waxed floss under the same brand name, but I have never bought any.

I wonder what the teflon it uses has in it..

Characteristics:
Micro-crystalline coating
Single-strand Teflon®fiber
Mint flavor

Until 2015 Teflon contained PFOA
