My teeth are super close together, I got a mouth full of fuckin Chiclets that cut apart pretty much any floss that can get in there. Any recommendations?

Alright question: does anyone have a good floss that doesn't make you feel like you are a huge polluter every time? Each floss I feel terrible tossing the strand in the trash.
I know it's not much by itself, but cumulatively it seems there should be a better way.
You can get biodegradable bamboo floss; it's what I use. Still single-use, but it's at least not gonna hang around for a thousand years and deteriorate into micro and nano-plastics.
Depending on what you're willing to spend Id recommend a water flosser. No plastic pollution, can use tap water as a default or if you're fancy do a mouthwash diluted a bit with water. Insanely efficient, and gives a level of mouth clean I have yet to be able to beat. The first time I used mine I was blown away by how much shit came out of my mouth. Anyway, best of luck!
You can get floss holders that will reduce the amount of string you use. Theyβre not perfect but better than the βdisposableβ ones.
I'm a gross dude who doesn't take good care of my health. I didn't even really know what flossing was for most of my life. The first time I ever went to a dentist was when a molar crumbled in the middle of a BLT while I was at work during my late twenties. So maybe don't take my dental advice ...
... But I use bamboo floss picks repeatedly so long as they are intact, haven't fallen anywhere contaminated, and have no visible debris on them. Makes me feel a lot less wasteful.
I use beer and dried fish to clean my teeth. I had a few reasons to visit a dentist during my 40 years of life, but those were minor things. So the result is good.
I honestly can't tell if this is serious or not. If it is serious...could you maybe provide detail here? Because I'm not understanding how tf you'd clean your teeth with those 2 items lol
