# Auto-Restringing Flossing Tools The QicoBay C1 Automatically Replaces Used Floss By Colin Smith | Published 2022-11-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qicobay-c1 References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/qicobay/qicobay-c1-worlds-1st-auto-restringing-flosser?utm_source=www.youtube.com&utm_medium=kickbooster&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=b485bf78&ref=dv302c)  The '[QicoBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dental-hygiene1) [C1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrasonic-cutter)' is an upcoming ultra-compact dental floss tool currently in its crowdfunding phase on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-sonic). 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.
