My teeth are super close together, I got a mouth full of fuckin Chiclets that cut apart pretty much any floss that can get in there. Any recommendations?
Water flosser? Sucks to have yet another appliance when tiny box of string works for most people but they are effective.
God I just know I'd be a messy fucker with one of those... Hmm
FWIW, they make terrible squirt guns.
It wasn't always so... My childhood largely featured an arms race of increasingly ridiculous squirt guns that culminated in some dickhead pissing in a backpack water tank and blasting everyone with a double-barreled multi-nozzled monstrosity.
I used to have really bad taste in friends.
Hey, now, Wakko & Dot're the bomb. ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฅฐ
Quotable moment and I still don't like you,
Dr Tung's smart floss
Cheers, will give it a go
BTW side note as a fellow tight teeth person: I've started asking hygenists not to floss my teeth during the cleaning. Inevitably they smash the shit out of my gums trying to force their floss between my teeth.
Same. My teeth cut the floss and I often need to use bite pressure to force a floss pick in. But then I often rip the floss pick if they are cheap or thin, which most are.
I have had good luck with these. I try to minimize cost and waste so I rinse and re-use them a few times times so I'm not throwing two away every single day.

Nice one, too bad it's US only!
