Lauren replied to my email and indicated that even the flossers I thought were legitimate were also fakes. The right bag and flosser are what I thought were real Platypus while the left bag and flosser was the current counterfeit flosser. At least that was what I thought I was providing.

I provided that detail and also pictures of the fake flossers next to pictures of real Platypus flossers. Lauren requested details about the order and the storefront seller. Lauren from A Better Way of Life Inc got back to me immediately. At this point one would think this would be the end of the story but it gets even more interesting. So I then contacted A Better Way of Life Inc who makes the Platypus flossers to inform them of what I had experienced. However after chatting with Amazon and getting them to process a refund I was not confident Amazon was going to address this issue on their end without a gentle nudge. I immediately suspected this was a fraudulent item and contacted Amazon to report the issue and request a refund. Its just a standard flosser I could buy at a local retailer for a lot less money.

Platypus is a well known brand and does the job great which is why I started purchasing them. If you have braces there are special dental flossers that are skinny enough on one end to get under the arch wire.
