Floss for tightly-packed teeth?

Fiske

Hi there. I have a relatively simple question - I've become a lot more aware of how I look after my teeth lately, and I wanted to start flossing regularly. However, the floss I tried first was difficult to fit between some of my teeth, and in most cases I couldn't get it anywhere near the gumline. It tended to shred quite easily, too. So I was wondering if anyone would recommend me a good thin floss that should work with my teeth? I would be very grateful.

tape is better than floss for those tight contacts, its thicker but that actually helps. you can use interdental brushes either.

I have two back teeth that are practically welded together at the bottom, but still manage to gather gunk in the gap near the gum, and the best floss by far for getting between them is Oral B waxed - in the round white box.

+1 for Oral B Essential floss.
Don't like the stupid little round dispenser they changed to a few years ago though, the end keeps disappearing inside. I still have an old style square one and I just transfer the reel over from a new round one when it runs out.
Avoid the mint flavour type. It's more slippery so you have to use more to get a grip.

Oral-b satin tape or Colgate total dental tape, if your teeth haven't been scaled in a while calculus build up can shred floss and/or stop the floss getting through especially on the bottom front teeth.
