"I'm picturing water everywhere."
Haha, yeah, that's pretty much how it went the first few times at our house. My youngest thought it was hilarious to spray water around...but honestly, after a week or so, they got the hang of it. Just keep towels handy at first.
Haha, I remember those early days as well...water flossers can indeed be a bit messy at first, especially with kids involved. In my experience, countertop models offer slightly better water pressure and larger reservoirs, making them more efficient overall. Cordless versions are definitely convenient for travel or smaller bathrooms, though. Either way, patience is key—once everyone gets the technique down, the benefits for oral hygiene are well worth the initial splashes.
Countertops definitely have their perks, but honestly, I've found cordless models more budget-friendly in the long run. They're usually cheaper upfront and easier to maintain. Plus, my tiny bathroom appreciates the extra space...even if it means refilling more often.
Yeah, cordless is def easier on space. I switched from countertop to cordless recently...mostly because I kept worrying about knocking the big one into the sink. Refilling is a bit annoying, but worth it for peace of mind.
Totally get the sink anxiety, lol. I went cordless too, mostly because my bathroom is tiny and countertop space is premium real estate. Honestly, I didn't even consider the knocking-it-over factor until you mentioned it...now I'm extra glad I switched.
Refilling does get old fast, though. Sometimes I catch myself getting lazy and skipping it altogether (bad, I know). But overall, cordless just feels less intimidating and easier to handle. Plus, traveling with it is a breeze—tried packing my old countertop one once and it was like lugging around a mini power washer.
Still, gotta admit, countertop ones usually pack a bit more punch. My dentist swears by the stronger pressure settings on those bigger units. But for everyday ease and convenience, cordless wins for me.
