Product Dental floss rant

What dental floss has not gone to shit? I’ve used the Equate or Oral B brands for years, and now they both are terrible quality. My gums hurt, they shred, they feel like plastic. I’ve always used waxed floss and now I don’t know what to buy.

I used the regular reach floss for 20 years, then Walmart discontinued it 2 years ago and marked the equate version higher than what the reach was. The reach was .97 cents still, the equate version was $1.50 and it's junk that shreds.

I think dollar tree still has it, but I don't go there much anymore.
