Joe, 
 
      Brookstone's is one source of a dental floss holder similar 
to what you describe. It is not part of a toothbrush but does 
store floss in the handle. I estimate the handle to be about 
three inches in diameter which make it easy to grip. My who is a 
double below elbow amputee has used one for many years with good 
results. 
 
Order a catalog from:  BROOKSTONE'S,  5 Vose Farm Road,  P.O. Box 
803, Peterborough, NH 03460-0803. 
 
      While on the subject of dental health I should also mention 
the Interplax toothbrush. This is a rechargeable electric tooth 
brush which has counter rotating bristles. My wife and I have 
used one for over a year and have found it to be the best 
investment we have ever made in taking care of our teeth. It 
lists for $99.95 but can be found for 69.95 in many discount 
stores. 
 
      This is a good idea for everyone but if brushing 
effectively is a problem it is indispensable. 
 
 
All The Best, 
 
Bill
