Yeah, I tried to convince myself the water flosser was enough—felt like I was in a dental commercial every night. But nope, my gums got grumpy too. TV definitely makes the old-school flossing less of a chore... I just try not to laugh mid-floss.

Haha, I totally get this. Every time I try to floss while watching something funny, I either almost choke or drop the floss. I really wanted the water flosser to be the answer too—seemed so easy, but my dentist gave me that “nice try” look. Old-school floss wins, even if it’s awkward sometimes. At least it’s cheap and doesn’t spray water everywhere...
Yeah, I tried a water flosser too and it just made a mess—felt like I needed goggles. The cheap floss from the dollar store honestly works fine for me, even if it’s not glamorous. I just stash some in the living room so I don’t forget.
I get wanting to save a few bucks, but the dollar store floss always shreds on me, especially if my teeth feel a little tight that day. I tried stocking up on the cheap stuff, thinking it was all the same, but ended up spending more replacing it every week. Ended up switching to those little floss picks from Aldi—still cheap, but way less hassle. Not fancy, but at least I’m not fighting with the floss every night.
Honestly, I used to think all floss was basically the same too, until I tried a slightly pricier brand—turned out to be way less annoying. Floss picks are super convenient, but my dentist mentioned they sometimes don’t get between teeth as well as string floss, especially if you’ve got tight contacts. I still keep some picks around for busy days, but for a deeper clean, I go back to the regular stuff. It’s a bit of a trade-off, I guess.
