Glide or just regular waxed stuff? I'm loving hydrogen peroxide too.

* Use a 12-15inch (30-40cm.) length of floss.
* Wrap the floss around your middle fingers.
* Hold the floss between the thumb and forefinger of each hand.
* Leave about 2 inches (5cm) of floss between the hands.
* The floss must be taut when it is used.
* Gently guide the floss across the contact point between the teeth.
* When the floss is in position between the teeth, curve it tightly
against one tooth surface and rub it up and down a few times.
* Each stroke should be from just under the gum to the contact point
between the teeth.
* Repeat this for each tooth surface between all the teeth.
* The floss holders shown above are easy to use, if you have
difficulty using the conventional floss.
* Be careful not to cut your gums with the floss.
* A sharp downward thrust of the floss will damage the gum and make
it bleed.
* Your dentist will be happy to show you how to floss, and choose
which floss is best for you.

OK, so what's your point? I've got soft enamel. Which means my teeth are going to fall apart slowly. And that's with brushing twice a day.
