This is the 29th version  of my question (re. patented new floss 
holder), and it is reposted due to changes. The floss holder's page: 
http://www.geocities.com/emailerss/ 
             
 This floss holder is good for about 250 all-teeth flossing.           
1.Are you flossing frequently using only floss,2 hands and nothing 
else?           
         
2.Is it clear from this web-page how to use this product, and how many 
minutes have you (the researcher) spent on it?             
             
3.The Researcher is asked to answer with one word the question of 
whether he/she would use it at least seldom/partly?   
4.Please give the most cents you would pay for a sixpack.

1.  Yes
2.  No (another 2 minutes or so)
3.  Unlikely.
4.  50-100



I can't tell whether you have updated the images any or not, but it is
still unclear in many of the pictures how exactly the floss is wound
around your device.  The floss is so close to two-dimensional that it
is difficult to tell whether one strand goes over or under another
strand, and in some cases the difference is very important.

I might buy one out of curiosity, but unless it proved to be
significantly easier (and faster) to use than just wrapping floss
around my fingers, I wouldn't buy more.  The biggest problem I see you
having is convincing people that their time is well-spent threading
floss through your tensioner.

You are very right.
Since i was unwilling to do the 2-hand flossing i fell in love with this device.
Sure my big problem is how difficult is to do the back teeth your way.
How much time are you spending on flossing? 
Dentists recommend 5 min flossing, aren't they?
Again the above are my clarifications and not a Req.
All said ,i would be pleased receiving any comment from you.
thank you

I'm happy to respond - you've been very punctual in reading my answers
and responding to them.

I'm not sure what the average dentist would recommend - mine just says
"keep flossing" and leaves it at that.

Tell you what though.  I'll set a timer and floss my teeth right now
and let you know how long it takes.  Alright.  I spent 15 seconds
winding the floss around my fingers, 45 seconds flossing my top teeth,
and 55 seconds flossing my bottom teeth.  If I have something more
substantial stuck in my teeth, it might take another 30 seconds or so.

I wind the floss around my ring fingers and use my thumbs for top
teeth or index fingers for bottom teeth to guide the floss.  I've got
large hands (above the 95th percentile) so reaching my back teeth is
no problem, though my index fingers aren't curved optimally for
flossing my bottom back teeth.

Oh man,

Tensioner allows me 90sec-120 sec fast flossing, including the preparation.
