Review (4/5): Light, easy to hold, makes a difference in gum health
First, it takes a few trials to master, but then it is a breeze. I have crowns and narrow teeths, making it a pain to floss and I wanted a portable water cleaner. I researched in depth as I also have carpal tunnel. This flossed has pulse, soft and normal mode plus an on/off switch. The water tank is filled in the lower back and I usually add after the water a bit of lysterine. This is not an electric toothbrush. 1. It must be held upright with the nozzle moving along the gumline (do not stop between teeth or use it as a flosser, the water spray takes care of it). 2. Make sure to choose the setting before operstion (it does not remember last setting) and place one of your fingers on the on off switch at all time as at the beginning you may find it really helpful. Soft setting seems plenty. At my first trial my gums were bleeding, as I was also swallowing water and spraying everything. Do not be alarmed, as you probably did not floss much. 3. Keep your head slightly up, with your lips protruded forward. 4. Now begin spraying from the bottom right all the way to the left swiftly following thr gumline and with the nozle barely touching, think as if drawing. Water may collect in your mouth and you can may need practice. It is ok to stop the flosser snd then move on to the top gumlinr.
If you move confidently you csn do the whole mouth in one time. But I had to do it twice at the beginning because of the mess I made, including pushing the normal setting insteaf of the off button. Anyway, 5. At the very end you can fill a little water ( I use tsp water) to clean it. Go ahead and push the normal mode just to see, keep the flosser upright and do not point it away from sink or bathtub. Thst's it. Hope this helped.
