This is awful. That's the only floss I can use that doesn't disintegrate between my teeth. Where does one go to find pfas content in items like these?

This[1] has been a useful resource for me. It has lists of PFAS chemicals and products.

FWIW Tom's of Maine Naturally Waxed Antiplaque Flat Dental Floss works well for me. Pretty thick though.

Listerine Ultraclean floss is made of PEBAX:

Is this good or bad? I can't tell if that's a safe alternative or another potentially problematic one, and the Wikipedia entry doesn't mention safety.

PEBAX is not obviously bad, but I don't know whether it's good.
