Zip Rings™ Dental Floss Holder Reinvents Flossing With Ordinary Dental Floss: Makes it Easier and Mess-Free While Cutting in Half the Amount of Floss Used

A Long-Awaited Innovation in How to Grip, Store and Dispense Ordinary Dental Floss.

Flossing with ordinary dental floss remains the only method of interdental cleaning approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).  Amazingly, the basic method of properly flossing  your teeth has not changed since dental floss was invented in 1815 by Levi Spear Parmly, a New Orleans dentist, who advised his patients to use a thin silk thread to clean between their teeth. Yet most people find traditional flossing methods difficult, messy, uncomfortable, unsanitary and extremely wasteful.

Zip Rings Dental Floss Holder will Pay for itself in as Few as Just Two Purchases of Dental Floss

Zip Rings dental flosser will pay for itself in as few as just two purchases of dental floss by cutting the amount of floss you use in half. But how do you place value on the environmental impact of cutting waste in half? Using Zip Rings dental flosser has a positive impact on the landfills and reduces the energy and materials used to produce the floss and plastic containers.

Zip Rings Dental Floss Holder Eliminates Millions of Miles of Floss and Hundreds of Millions of Plastic Containers from Our Landfills.

Looking for biodegradable, eco-friendly dental floss. Traditional dental floss is not biodegradable. Over 3 million miles of dental floss and hundreds of millions of spent plastic floss containers go into our landfills each year. That’s enough floss to circle the earth more than 120 times. 

Zip Rings dental flosser cuts this waste in half by eliminating the excess floss needed for normal gripping and more efficiently utilizing the entire length of floss.

So Zip Rings dental flosser is not only a better way to floss; equally important, it eliminates waste and is better for our environment.

Zip Rings dental floss holder consist of a pair of, interchangeable, reusable ring-shaped dental floss holders. One of the rings is a dispenser ring, which holds a two-week supply of your favorite brand of ordinary dental floss. The other -the take-up ring - retracts soiled dental floss after it has been used. To hold and use Zip Rings properly,  first attach the free end of the fresh floss on the dispenser ring to the Zip Fastener™ on the take-up ring, leaving a section of fresh floss extended between the two rings. To grip and manipulate the extended section of floss, put the rings on the middle finger of each hand and use only the tips of your forefingers and thumbs to guide it through your teeth. After the extended section of floss becomes soiled through use, conceal it and expose a new fresh section by rotating both rings. Each time you floss, cut and remove the used dental floss.  You can also dynamically change the length of the fresh section as you floss, by rotating the rings.  It's that simple

Taking Care of Your Zip Rings Dental Floss Holder: Washing Your Rings, Cutting Used Floss

Each time you floss, cut remove and toss the used floss, leaving only your supply of fresh floss on the dispenser ring. Use the cutter on your floss container or grooming scissors to cut the floss. To wash, use hot soapy water.  To sterilize,  place in the top rack of the dishwasher. Washing in a dishwasher with water that reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit properly sterilizes the rings.

Zip Rings comes loaded with a month supply of premium dental floss.

What About Those Plastic Floss Picks  and Forks?

Ordinary dental floss is still the only ADA–approved method of inter-dental cleaning. Floss forks are not ADA-approved because they do not allow you to perform the ADA-recommended procedure for proper flossing and are therefore deemed less effective. The ADA-recommended procedure requires a flexible extended section of floss that can form a “C” shape around the teeth.

Also, floss picks do not work with ordinary dental floss and therefore do not allow you to take advantage of the wide variety of materials, thicknesses and flavors on the market today; they are not environmentally friendly, requiring users to send several plastic picks to our landfills each day; and they are significantly more expensive per use than ordinary dental floss.
