Review on Affordable H2Oral Irrigator Floss - Hate Flossing? Save Money with a Budget Water Flosser! by Will Moorehead

Oh, the joy of middle age. where we can enjoy those things and not other water toys like jet skis and hot tubs. If you need one of these, you know who you are. The only way out is to use a simple water-powered oral irrigator. No fuss, no gas stations, no chaos or grumpy devices making a huge rumble. I have previously tried the competing Redi Breeze faucet system. This worked great but made a holy mess. I also didn't like that it took up space under the faucet on my low sinks, and finding the right water ratio was always random. Although it was well built. I concluded that the shower system would be less obtrusive (and messy!) and was ready to upgrade to the Redi Breeze shower version. What attracted me to the H20 system was the ability to control the flow rate from the terminal itself. When using these things, you just want to change the pressure (and you need it). The H20 version is much more user friendly and more accurate in my opinion. Keep in mind that at full power this thing can wash paint off walls - at least with my water pressure. Always start the device OUTSIDE your mouth first. But hey, that's what's good in the shower, no matter if it hits anywhere! I have a wonderful Hansgrohe Rain overhead shower system and I was afraid it wouldn't work or reduce the pressure. No issues other than a slight drop in pressure, which is a fair and expected compromise. I haven't had the device long enough to claim magical results, but based on my past experience with similar devices, I can safely say that this should be effective. Again, you need to use these things methodically. I have had some ongoing periodontal issues with chipping, pockets etc and am trying to avoid surgery. I will update in a few months and check next time. As for the minor downsides, the plastic clutch feels a little flimsy compared to the Redi Breeze system, but it's worth noting that the H20 is also $10-$15 cheaper. The time will show; I would be interested to know how the manufacturer/supplier deals with any problems. It's ok but I would like the storage system to be on a suction cup and not glue. This was an easy fix, replacing it with a suction cup toothbrush holder (great for holding dental floss too) from your local dollar store. The ONLY thing I miss from a tank based system? That you obviously can't add Listerine or similar antibacterial rinses to your water. Take a sip and rinse your mouth while using the rinse to get around this. A shaving or shower mirror is a must, so bring one. I disagree that any of these devices eliminate dental floss entirely. There is so much new evidence that plaque can cause so many sins. I prefer to be thorough. If you're categorically opposed to flossing, it's certainly better than nothing. Armed with H20 and the dental program of Dr. Ellie, you're in great shape to visit your dentist (and hopefully a periodontist) less often. We all know that new habits take about 20 days to take root. If you're serious about your dental care routine, you need something you actually use. Something that doesn't require a lot of effort or hassle to set up. It takes a little longer in the shower after a simple installation, but the results are worth it. You can always go Cosmo Kramer style, bring your phone and enjoy the day. :)
