Switching to floss picks totally changed my nightly routine

I used to be the worst at remembering to floss, mostly because the regular string just felt like a hassle and honestly, I’d skip it more than I’d like to admit. A few months ago I grabbed a bag of those little floss picks on a whim, and now I actually look forward to flossing (well, sort of). It’s just so much easier, especially when I'm half-asleep. My dentist even noticed less plaque at my last checkup. Anyone else make the switch and notice a difference, or am I just late to the party?

I do wish someone would invent a pick that doesn’t snap on tight contacts, though... maybe someday.

That’s exactly my issue—some picks just can’t handle those tighter spots. Has anyone found a brand or style that actually works better for that? Also, with water flossers, do you feel like they really get under the gumline, or is it more about just clearing debris? I’ve read mixed things and I’m still not totally convinced they’re as effective as string floss for plaque.
