    Seriously, everyone should floss at least once a day. Makes a huge difference. Brushing alone is simply not hygienic enough.

      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.

          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!

              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.

                  It’s safe to cook on if you don’t heat it past 500°F.

                  Maybe I’m being overly paranoid by not wanting to ingest small amounts twice daily, but I’m going to err on the side of an abundance of caution there.
