The 'QicoBay C1' is an upcoming ultra-compact dental floss tool currently in its crowdfunding phase on Kickstarter. The device is marketed as the first auto-restringing flossing tool, which is demonstrated in the marketing videos for the item. The C1 is a small, oval device with a sliding Q Button on the side of it. When this Q Button is slid up, a string of dental floss is revealed, suspended between two plastic arms. The user can then floss teeth with this string and simply slide the Q Button back down.
When the switch is slid down, the device discards of the used dental floss and attaches a clean, fresh string of floss in its place. This reduces plastic waste and single-use plastics while ensuring the dental floss is kept as clean as possible, as it is safely stored within the body of the C1.
