    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.

      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!

        that one actually looks good, though i have very little desire to buy something i can’t buy new heads for at the grocery store.

        Waterpik has the upside that it just uses water, but is instead hilariously bulky and i’ve heard those actually aren’t very effective (and i’m not willing to spend $60 only to find out that it indeed isn’t very useful). This being an actual flosser seems much better and i look forward to it becoming as standard as electric toothbrushes so i can get one without having to trust a random company online (which ain’t happening).

        If i see an electric flosser at a physical store or at least a domestic online store for a reasonable price, i will absolutely get one.

        About as much fun as a vibrating device can be. Well, almost.

        I almost want to buy one just to reward them for going there.

        Our Flaus Heads use the highest performing glide floss in the market — a PolyTetraFluoroEthylene monofilament tape floss.

        On second thought, I don’t think I want to shred Teflon strings in my mouth every day.
