Reach Daily Flosser Refills???

chuckles30

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, so feel free to move if there is a more appropriate place.....

I have been using the Reach Daily Flosser for a number of years.....however I am now finding it impossible to get the refills. Does anyone know if they have gone off the market? I used to get them in Tesco/Dunnes. First Tesco stopped doing them and recently I cannot seem to find them in Dunnes or anywhere else either. I have found them on some US websites, but the shipping costs are crazy.

If they have gone off the market what alternatives have people found good? I got similar shaped ones in Tesco recently, but with much shorter handles and I find it almost impossible to get to my back teeth.....which was why I loved my Reach one!! Any help greatly appreciated!!

can't find them on the sundries supplier we used in britland, but this is the next best thing.

that's a real pain in the ass though, reach bought the original design off a company in co westmeath and changed it ever so slightly so that the refills wouldn't fit the old handles, leaving me with about 6 years worth of refills that i'm near the end of now. oh well, will have to change again!!

I am looking for the Reach Daily Flosser refills also. It is simply the best product ever made. I have been using them for 10 years and I can't find anything near as good or as easy to use! I placed an order for $100 dollars worth of refills on several Amazon.com sites today but was told they don't ship to Ireland. The link given above no longer works. If anyone can find a site that sells them please let me know and I will buy another 10 years supply;)

Hey: try the wisodm version of the reach flosser, it's long and the heads are the same shape as the old reach ones!

Thanks, that Wisdom one looks interesting. Funnily enough, that Rockfield site has the Reach flossers in the catalogue, but if you click on them, they seem to dissappear!

I had some credit on Amazon, so I ordered some of the Reach ones from this seller in the US, and they arrived after about three weeks;

Yeah their discontinued lines still appear in searches, but no harm, maybe they are hoping some of them reappear!
Glad to hear the US had a supply you needed:)

Here we go again, my old Amazon seller won't ship to Ireland now. There are a few other sellers on Amazon, but at horrendous prices or shipping charges, and same for eBay.

Any reasonably priced options out there?

If anyone else is still looking, I found these Dentek flossers in McCabes chemists, which seem to be the closest thing I can get to the shape and angle of the Reach flossers. They are a bit too short for my liking, so I end up with drool over my fingers (sorry if that's TMI), but they are better than nothing.

Unless you have a better suggestion?
