Curious to see how many use the 'flossers' (the picks with the floss attached) or regular dental floss.

I personally use the picks because they're much more convenient than regular floss.

So, which do you use?
 
I use a rusty nail like a real man.

Seriously though I use Johnson and Johnson Mint Waxed Floss. I can't stand those picks. It's difficult to get my rear molars. The little strand won't last between all my teeth. Plus it seems like an awful waste of plastic.
 
I use regular Glide floss, I find it's the smoothest of the brands I've tried. I've never tried a pick, but it doesn't sound like I'd want to bother with it.
 
Love these.

You have got to be kidding, it's obvious.

The brand of choice for me is Apple iFloss.

The silver color is attractive & the only drawback is the aluminum aftertaste.

My pearlies have never been better :)

I can't get to my molars without the picks. I think it's because I have a huge hand.
 
I stalk Windows users and floss with their hair that they lose due to stress on a daily basis. I can't go into more detail for legal reasons. Sorry.

On the serious side, I have never tried a pick. Are there any known benefits over string floss?

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure it's just convenience in either.
 
I try to keep my floss natural, none of this synthetic nylon stuff...
