Yes: Yes, its a little scary when we swallow a foreign body. In general floss is quite benign. You may or may not see it in your stool. Just stay well hydrated and eat as usual. Do not make yourself vomit or take laxatives to try and get it out. If you develop any abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, then go to your nearest er or urgent care.

See cat eat tinsel?: Floss isn't toxic, if you swallow it it should pass without consequence. Doesn't hurt to keep an eye out for it just to reassure yourself.
