Abstract

A plurality of lengths of floss each includes two ends and a finger loop at each of the ends. The lengths of floss are removably connected to each other to form a single, continuous piece and are stored within a dispenser. The dispenser includes an opening configured to permit the lengths of floss to be removed there-through and then separated for use.
