Haha, totally relate to that water-spraying chaos the first few times! There's definitely a learning curve nobody mentions in those glowing reviews. But honestly, once you get the hang of it (and figure out how NOT to flood your bathroom), it's a game-changer—especially for sensitive gums. Took me about a week of daily use before I stopped feeling like I needed snorkeling gear.
Quick tip: start on the lowest setting and lean over the sink with your mouth slightly closed (but open enough to let water out)—sounds weird, but trust me, it helps. Also, angle-wise, try pointing the nozzle at a 90-degree angle to your gums rather than directly into them. That made a huge difference for me.
Hang in there, it does get easier... eventually. 😉
Haha, reading through this makes me feel a bit better about my own messy bathroom adventures. Took me a solid two weeks before I stopped accidentally spraying the mirror (and myself). Even now, if I'm not careful, it's like a mini water park ride every evening.
One thing I've wondered though—is there really a noticeable difference in effectiveness between the branded flossers and those cheaper generic ones? I've been using a budget-friendly version, and while it's decent, I sometimes question if upgrading would actually improve things or if it's just marketing hype. Curious if anyone's tried both and noticed any real difference...
