This Flaus electric flosser got me to actually enjoy flossing twice a day

Flossing can be yucky. I hate sticking my fingers in my mouth, dealing with icky strings or stabbing the gaps between my teeth with those little plastic swords that pile up in the trash. Water flossers solve those problems and then substitute their own: I hate how they dribble water down my face every time I use them.

So when I first tried the Flaus electric flosser, which claims to effortlessly glide between teeth with the same type of vibrations that power an electric toothbrush, I remained hopeful yet skeptical. Three years later, I’d have a hard time living without it. It’s so effective, I look forward to seeing the evidence of its sonic vibrations in what comes out of my teeth (sorry to be so gross) every time I use it.
