Dental Floss
How you’re using it: Knotting it around your hands.
Don’t let the tyranny of loops overtake you when flossing your teeth. Instead of wrapping dental floss around your fingers a bunch of times, just tie a small amount in a loop. You still get the tension you need, and you also save a bunch of the stuff. Dental floss is also good for cutting soft foods that would crumble under the pressure of a knife.
