Haha, reading this thread brings back memories. I tried a countertop one once and ended up spraying water all over the bathroom mirror—total disaster. The cordless one feels less intimidating for sure, but even then, I still get nervous about accidentally hitting my braces too hard or something. Does anyone else with braces find cordless gentler, or am I just being overly cautious here?
"I tried a countertop one once and ended up spraying water all over the bathroom mirror—total disaster."
Haha, been there! When I first got braces, I was super cautious too. Honestly, cordless felt gentler to me at first because it gave me more control over the pressure and angle. But after a while, I switched back to countertop for the stronger stream (and fewer refills). Just start on the lowest setting and gradually work your way up—you'll get comfortable with it quicker than you think.
I totally get the mirror disaster, lol. My first time using a countertop flosser, I accidentally shot water straight up my nose—talk about unexpected sinus rinse. Cordless seems less risky, but does it really clean as well? Still figuring that out myself...
Haha, the accidental sinus rinse is a rite of passage, trust me. But cordless can actually pack a decent punch—depends on the brand and model. Ever tried one with adjustable pressure settings? Might change your mind about countertop being superior...
Haha, yeah, that sinus rinse moment is unforgettable... Have you found cordless models with adjustable pressure strong enough for stubborn spots? I've always stuck with countertop, but now you've got me curious about giving cordless another shot.
