No more string floss!
I originally bought this to supplement my string flossing (which I hate), but I was just reading an article on Vital Record (a newsletter by Texas A&M's health science education college) that was discussing whether flossing was necessary and, if so, what method to use. They found water flossing more effective than string flossing, so no more cutting off the circulation in my fingers!<br /><br />As for use, my first caveat is that you need to charge the unit using a USB port. I didn't see that, so I ended up having to charge it on my computer desk for a couple weeks until we remembered to pick up a USB plug adapter.  Not really a big deal, but the Amazon page isn't really clear that this is ONLY way to charge the flosser.<br /><br />As for use: 1) You really have to develop a technique with this. Keep your mouth shut just enough to prevent spraying the mirror but open enough that the water drains into the sink. Neither my husband nor I had good technique for our first tries, but our bathroom mirrors needed to be cleaned, anyway. 2) I really should have watched a video demonstrating how to use this before I used it for the first time. 3) When they recommended not to use it on normal mode at first, that was really good advice. Did I take it? Nooo. I prefer to make my gums bleed.
