A post over at YSK talked about flossing, and mentioned water picks.

  • Anyone got any recommendations they can share?
  • How much should I be spending?
  • Any reasons for or against?

    I purchased a generic one. It’s no longer sold on Amazon.ca.

    Search for “water flosser” or “oral irrigator”.

    I paid under $50 CDN and no complaints.

    I have crowded teeth and various issues that mean this is a much better option for me than normal flossing and use it regularly.

      I’ve had both the wired and wireless pik and the wireless one is my favorite even though the reservoir is smaller. I like that can take it into the shower and do my flossing there and it feels less messy somehow.

        I have a wireless one as well (gifted) and it’s good but find it’s more of a hassle to use. Good for travel or if you don’t have a much counter space. The one I got is battery powered so you have to change batteries and I don’t have rechargeables so in practice I don’t use it. I would probably use it more if it was usb chargeable.
