In Japan, the SUNSTAR Group and the Lion King are the two trump cards of oral care. GUM is the most prestigious oral care brand of the SUNSTAR Group, and it is very popular for its special function positioning - "prevention and treatment of periodontal disease", and it has the largest sales in Japan. The brand, which was previously mainly sold to medical institutions, is now focusing on the Chinese market. GUM dental floss is more diverse than Lion King, which can meet a variety of needs, but the performance of single products is uneven.
GUM dental floss is divided into Japanese and American floss. Japan is the WAX series, in which the ultra-fine wax dental floss is too thin, and the cleanliness is generally easy to strangle, compared to the WAX expanded dental floss, the expanded dental floss is the same as the lion king tooth Lijia is made of nylon, the wax model is more smooth than the wax-free model embedded in the tooth gap, and it is not easy to break and draw, but the lion king's patented expanded structure has stronger cleaning power, and it also has a mint smell, the WAX series are colorless and odorless dental floss, and you can choose GUM if you are used to using odorless dental floss. WAX Expanded Floss is easy to buy, and the price of each box of 40 meters is around 48 yuan.
The Japanese GUM dental floss is made of nylon, while the American is more abundant. Easy Thread is dedicated to orthodontics, one dental floss consists of two parts, and the front end of the traction wire has a certain hardness to allow the dental floss to be inserted into the orthodontic braces; The Eez-Thru thread is thin and rounded and made of very smooth PTFE material, which is good for the experience, and is also suitable for small interdental or beginner use, and the mint scent makes cleaning more fun.
The unique "S-shaped" design of the GUM USA box is also worth mentioning, which not only allows you to clearly see the remaining amount, but also allows you to manually turn the excess dental floss back. However, it is a pity that the American dental floss has not yet been deployed in the Chinese market, and it is currently available for purchase through Amazon, with a reference price of $4.8-$7.
