    ive used it, they are very strong jet of water even for the lowest setting, so becareful they can “cut” you. also its messy if you dont close your mouth. i would slide water pik across your teeth, close to the gums(dont put directly on the gums because it can irritate it). close your mouth when your using the water jet.

    they arnt a replacement for a floss though, i use floss picks, REACH BRAND has a really long handle for the backteeth flosses, the flosshead is orientated to work on the back teeth, rather than on the side for the front teeth. the long handle means you dont need put your dirty hands into the mouth like with the shorter picks, or the floss strings. (these do fray, and becomes thinner and it can potentially irritate the gums) i would slide it gently.

    for the water pik, i bought off-brand water pik with 250-300ml water storage, with more settings than the more expensive sonicare/waterpik brands.
