I love mine. The only sad part is that my dentist's team explained to me that it wasn't a _replacement_ for regular flossing, but an addition to it.

I lived a few glorious weeks in bliss, thinking that regular string flossing was in my past.

Sorry for the late reply - not sure if you'll see this.

But I think the jury's out on that. Check out https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24282867/

No idea how legit this research is though - I think one of the authors works for WaterPik, so take it with a grain of salt :)

Either way, I know I'm too lazy for string flossing, so for me it's either the WaterPik or nothing.

Oh, that's some good news about the WaterPik. Even more happy about my purchase now, thank you!

String flossing has horrible UX. I started using floss picks like Plackers. It made it almost tolerable. Almost.
