I hear you on the “superhero string”—my kid’s more likely to floss if I call it something weird, too. But does anyone else’s kid just chew the floss like it’s bubblegum? I swear, half the time I’m just happy if she doesn’t wrap it around the cat. Has anyone tried those water flossers with kids, or is that just asking for a bathroom flood?

Water flossers can be a game changer, but yeah, you might have a wet bathroom the first couple times. My daughter thought it was hilarious and sprayed the mirror more than her teeth at first, but she got the hang of it pretty quick. Honestly, it's way less of a battle than regular floss. If you go that route, maybe start with the lowest setting and supervise until they get used to it... saves a lot of cleanup.

Haha, my niece turned the water flosser into a mini fountain show the first time—pretty sure more water hit the dog than her mouth. But yeah, once she got the hang of it, way less drama than string floss. I swear, anything that feels like a gadget is instantly cooler to kids.
