The Platypus Song!! By Kaitlyn Blazer...

Floss... Floss... Floss your teeth.... Floss them everywhere... Easy, breezy, portable... Platypus Flosser is there!!!! - Kaitlyn Blazer, LaGrange KY - THANKS KAITLYN!

A Triumph Over the Threader!

The Platypus is a great product! I just had braces put on last week after having them 25 years ago. I spent 45 minutes trying to floss using a floss threader. My ortho's hygienist gave me samples of the Platypus Flosser and told me that the orthodontist who also has braces has been raving about them. I've been loving them and find them so easy and functional in comparison to floss and threaders. It certainly promotes regular flossing! - Andrea Rapp, Oregon

From our dear Facebook friend Katy!

I love being friends with a flosser!!!!!! The best flosser!!!! The one you can use with braces!!! - Katy Blazer, LaGrange KY

Best Ortho Product EVER MADE!

I can honestly say one of the best ortho products EVER MADE! I sell orthodontic products for a living and...I loved it!!!! My 12 year old and 9 Year olds are very difficult to floss and this makes like soooooo much better. - Wendy Aleman @ OrthoEssentials.

Back to school special!!

Love my Platypus flossers...also gave them out to my ortho patients returning to school in their travel bags. We give out clear bags that look like plastic pencil bags and zip close. They travel through security well, so patients love them, and the platypus flossers were the biggest hit!!! -Dawn Prober Kasper RDH

My Favorite!

The Platypus Flosser is my absolute favorite dental aid for ortho patients. -Kathy La Voy

Happy Mom in Massachusetts!

We love the platypus!! It is great especially for younger kids! My son is 10 and hated the needle, now flossing is a bliss!

Trust me I tell all my friends about it! -Eneida Aguilar, Belmont MA

Five-Star Praise from Nationally Acclaimed and Key-Note Speaker Donna Marie Grzegorek RDH

As an "orthodontic hygienist" of 29 years, I can tell you there isn't anything as effective and easy to use as the Platypus Flosser. Patients who are orthodontically challenged actually enjoy flossing.... never thought I'd say those words. It is a "must have" in your dental hygiene armamentarium. -Donna Marie Grzegorek, RDH

A Happy Mom in San Jose

Good evening - had to tell you how much my son LOVES using his Platypus each day! Now flossing is a breeze and Nicholas really looks forward to it!!

Thanks for taking a struggle out of our lives!

And as a mom, I'm so happy knowing my son's teeth are getting the extra attention they need. -Janet Griffin, San Jose CA

How to Get the Platypus In a Pharmacy Near You

Every day we get a whole bunch of emails and phone calls requesting to have the Platypus Flosser for Braces available in retail outlets. Here at PlatypusCo we are enthusiastic about getting our flosser to you and everyone using The Platypus™ in the most convenient fashion.

It is our experience that locally owned pharmacies are usually very excited to provide new products to their customers, and because the purchaser is easily accessible and knows the community, we can get The Platypus™ on the shelves in no time! If you have a local pharmacy in mind, please email or call me with the information and I will get them set up.

Additionally, retail chains are a bit more fastidious about how they acquire new product lines. Although they are certainly willing to hear from us, and do regularly, about The Platypus™ – the most effective way to get a product on their shelves is through customer demand. Of course, right? You drive their sales, and they want to keep you as a loyal customer.

Below is a list of links of some retail chains we have in our sights. Please take a moment if can spare one to click on the chain you would like to see carry the Platypus™ Flosser. Let them know!

And another comment posted on Albatross!...

Yesterday I tried the platypus flosser from platypusco and it is so EASY! Anyone who's had the same experience should give it a try. -Will

Posted on Albatross! - Another success story.

The only thing I've started to like about my braces are the red, white and blue bands and my platypus flossers. I don't have to thread anymore and I guess that's a plus! -Jake

the Platypus: available soon at a store near you!!

Here's just a fraction of the requests that have been pouring in for the Platypus to be available locally:

Merry, Charlotte NC – Please make these (Platypus™) available in NC stores!!!!

Brenda, Montrose MN – I would love to see thes in Minnesota! Our Orthodontist gave us a sample for my son. I have two boys in braces and they are not flossers. If they had these I think they would floss a lot more.

Ashley, Ft. Oglethorpe GA – Maurika, Is there any way you could send me 4-5 more of the platypus info pads? I work in a large orthodontic office and I will push the sales of your platypus. I think it is a wonderful invention! It would be great if you could sale these in the Dalton, Ga area and in Chattanooga, TN. What do I need to do to get you to sell these in my area? Let me know and I will be on top of it! Thank you sooo much.

Amber, Arvada CO – I LOVE these! Please get them in a store in the Denver Metro area.

Susan, Oskaloosa IA – A friend who is a dental hygienist told me about your product and I'm excited to try it with my ortho patients. Will they be available in stores in Iowa soon and will you have a rep at the Annual Iowa Dental Meeting in Iowa City in May?

Pat, East Greenwich RI – Would like to find a store in my area to purchase Platypus for my 10 year old son b/c he is not flossing very well with the braces.

Gabe, Winnipeg Manitoba – My son just got braces and the orthodontist gave him samples of the Platypus flosser. We’re having a hard time finding some in our city. Can you direct me to one of your distributors in Winnipeg, Canada?

Kristen, Chandler, AZ – Hi, can we order the sample packs through this site or does it need to be our dental supply rep? How can we get them in stores in AZ? I give them to all my ortho patients now!

Jacquelilne, Portland OR – I am a pediatric dentist and have been using them for prophys in my office on patients with braces. Parents love them, and even the kids are interested. Unfortunately, there aren't any available for retail in Oregon. Please consider selling them here. Thank you.

Thanks for you requests and, more importantly, for your support! We won't let you down!

Platypus Flosser - About.com REVIEW

"The Platypus flosser is small in size with a nice wide handle, a fantastic feature that allows clumsy hands or large fingers to easily grasp on and to floss in those notorious hard to reach areas. Speaking of hard to reach areas, the actual flossing end of the Platypus is angled slightly to allow for the easy insertion between the molars and premolars."...to read more: http://dentistry.about.com/od/otherresourc2/fr/platypusflosser.htm

Makes everyone's life much easier

Absolutely awesome. My son who is 8 is the one using them and they make everyone's life much easier.

Desperately needed your producct

My son is an example of someone who desperately needed your product. He just wouldn't floss because it is so difficult with braces and yet so important.

Sing praises for the Platypus

I work for an orthodontist and have braces. I sing praises for the Platypus flosser all of the time. They work so well and easy, EASY being the most important.

Hasn't stopped asking about them

I am a dental hygienist and recently received samples of your product at the office I work in. I have a son with ortho and I will be in full braces soon. My son loved using them and hasn't stopped asking about them since he ran out of samples. Thank you!

A Must Have

This is a product that everyone with braces must have. I received some from my dentist and I absolutely love them! They make flossing so much easier. Thanks for your help.

A Tremendous Difference

Just wanted to say Thank You! My kid was struggling with flossing their teeth with braces and the Platypus has made a tremendous difference. Teeth and gums look better and mouths healthier. Thanks for making it so easy.

The Credit Due

We are so very grateful for your product; it truly makes my daughter's flossing responsibility much more manageable! The orthodontist recently commented on what a great job she does with hygiene and we gave the Platypus the credit due.

Greatly Reduced Flossing Time

I am a mom of an 11 year old with braces. Her orthodontist gave her one of your Platypus flossers that he had received as a demo. The first two nights that she had her braces we tried using floss threaders and dental floss and it took us 45 minutes to floss. Your platypus flosser has greatly reduced that time!
