You know how when you run out of dental floss there's always that last bit that's too short to use to floss your entire mouth of teeth? Those pieces are often in 5, 6, 7 or 8-inch lengths.
I bag them up to use when I can't brush, but I have something stuck. I keep the bag in my purse. When we picnic or have a meal or snack elsewhere, I can discreetly take care of matters and use one of those short lengths of floss. If I'm at home and I have something stuck, but it's not time to do a whole flossing, I can reach into my purse and grab a short strand of floss to do the job.
Anyway, a family member was asking if I had a use for those short ends of the floss roll. I thought I'd share, here, too, in case you find yourself with a too short length of floss just as you're running out.
Do you do anything with those short lengths?
Good idea! I generally try to use the short ends to floss as much as I can. Our dentist gives out sample sizes (mini rolls) of floss and I keep one in my car for "just in case".
ReplyDeleteGood ideas from both of you. I'm going to put one of those mini rolls from the dentist in my car right now.
