  i’ll floss the day someone invents a way that isn’t comically ardous and miserable.

  I couldn’t even be arsed to brush my teeth until i got an electric toothbrush, it simply will not happen if it’s too annoying, no matter how motivated i am.

      I hate all the plastic I waste. And I aint super hygienic about it, re-use em a couple times.
      But I love those things.
      I have 2 dental implants. Flossing is not optional.
      And implants are about $5,000 + 1 year of your life. Its an investment you don’t want to re-do.
      I’m not some dental saint here, I lost those teeth originally through poor care. I brush once or twice daily, but I floss after every meal.

        I reuse them probably a lot longer than I should. but like, yeah, plastic waste. sure it’s not much, but it’s the principle

        keeps me flossing pretty much daily though, and my teeth are better for it. cleaner anyways

      the thing is that so long as you have to shove a piece of string between your teeth and manually move it around, it’s going to be annoying. We need something like an electric toothbrush but for flossing.

        You are describing a waterpik, my friend.

        Image Oh shit, it’s real! goflaus.com It’s like $100 for a kit of the handle and 45 floss heads, and when you need more floss heads, it’s like $20 for 90 floss heads. Swedneck, I am too invested for you not to say that you’ll check out some kind of electric flosser or at least a water pick!

    You might also like a water pik. They are as effective as flossing the last time I looked into it.
