Dear W. L. Gore & Associates,

I have recently had an unfortunate experience with your Glide dental floss. I had heard that naval sailors during WWII used dental floss to attach loose buttons to their clothing. I checked it out and yes, it seems that this was the case. So I decided to carry a container of Glide with me just in case I ever needed a quick clothing repair, plus the box is really compact and takes up barely any room in my purse.

I didn't need to use it for anything other than teeth cleaning until yesterday. A button on my blouse was getting really loose and I was excited to finally try the Glide solution. I popped into the bathroom for a minute and stitched it back on. But I didn't realize that Glide is a lot more stretchy than regular dental floss. Instead of tightly securing my blouse closed, the Glide stretched apart by an inch or two. My bust was exposed for most of the afternoon and I didn't notice until I got home from work. I think you should mention that on the container - not for sewing use.

Thanks,
Your Friend
