Me Mother Earth Dental Floss Picks

Yes, the cornstarch PLA handle is designed to be sturdy enough for daily use without snapping during flossing. While they are fully biodegradable, they maintain the structural integrity you expect from a standard dental pick.

Because these picks are made from plant-based materials like cornstarch PLA and bamboo charcoal fiber, they are designed to break down in a commercial composting facility. Please check your local municipal composting guidelines to ensure they accept PLA products.
