Lovely on natural teeth. On my 2 bonded front teeth the expanded fibers catch on the composite edge and fuzz up a little. Not full shredding, just enough to annoy. I now do those two teeth with the slim floss and everything else with this. If your dental work has any rough edges, heads up.

Product details
Finally, floss that's gentle enough to use every day.
PuffClean's fibers expand with water into a soft, cushion-like texture that sweeps away plaque without scraping delicate gum tissue. Dry, it glides in smoothly. Wet, it blooms into a deeper clean.
Why people switch:
- Water-expanding fibers: puffs up to clean more surface area, more gently
- Mint + xylitol infusion: leaves your mouth actually fresh, not just minty
- Smooth coating with beeswax: gentle feel, even on sensitive gums
- PFAS-free materials: made from nylon fibers, no PTFE or fluorinated coatings
Each spool holds 55 yd (50 m), and the 3 pack gives you three of them. One for home, one for your bag, one for at work. Never run out mid-routine. Or give them to friends or family!
Packaged in a recyclable paper box, PuffClean offers a routine that's good for you and the planet.
Stop dreading your floss. Start looking forward to it.

Not your fault
Sore gums after flossing? Blame the thread, not your technique.
Most floss is a thin, hard line. Pull it down between your teeth and all that pressure lands on one narrow strip of gum.
PuffClean goes in thin and dry, then puffs up soft once it touches moisture. It covers more surface with a much gentler touch.

Meet the founder
“Cleaning tooth surfaces is easy. Getting between them? Not so much.”
Rachel Fan Zhang spent over a decade in dental care. Then she got braces again at 30 and felt the problem herself.
Three years of sketching, testing and tweaking later, she had floss that actually reaches the in-between and looks good on your counter too.

Commonly Asked Questions
PuffClean goes in thin and dry, then its fibers bloom with moisture into a soft, cushiony texture that sweeps a wider surface for a gentler, more thorough clean than standard floss.
Yes. It’s our gentlest floss. The cushioned fibers wrap softly around each tooth instead of scraping, which makes it ideal for tender or easily-irritated gums.
Because it enters thin before it expands, it works for most gaps. For very tight contacts, our flat SlimWeave ribbon slides in more easily.
Yes. PuffClean is made from nylon fibers with no PTFE or fluorinated coatings, finished with a natural beeswax blend.
Yes. Infused with natural mint and xylitol for a fresh finish.
Three spools of 55 yd each, so with daily use roughly six months for one person.
