You will be surprised by how fast you gums stop bleeding once you start flossing

I like flossing when after doing that my gums bleed or hurt. When it hurts and bleeds it's satisfying to me. When I was 13 years old I could not handle hard toothbrush but now I want the most hard toothbrush in the pharmacy but I get used to it real quick. Sometimes I scratch my teeths with my nails. Also I love cotton ear buds. But I rarely use them because one day I was cleaning my ear and it bled. Maybe it was because minutes ago I was listening to high music for almost two hours straight (I rarely do that) with the headphones on. But that kind lf bleeding wasn't pleasant, my head hurt and I was worried about losing hearing. Ears are another world.

Very interesting. I think it is very possible to push a cotton swab too far and it will bleed. While it may feel good at the time be careful because you may be doing long term damage. For those who are using them just to clean. You actually don’t need to put them in that far.
I’m with you though. It does feel oddly satisfying to clean your ears with those swabs. It’s like scratching an itch you didn’t know you had.

One thing that helps me floss are those plastic floss thing ths with the handle and toothpick.
I know they're environmentally unfriendly but it transforms flossing from being weird and uncomfortable (floss string wise) to being easy and quick.
It may not be environmentally friendly but if it gets one to start flossing I support it.
Personally, I don’t like putting floss in between my teeth that has already got plaque on it. It feels like cross contamination to me.
I’m not hating. I may be taking it too far.
Again... Any flossing > not flossing at all
I end up using a piece of tissue to wipe off the string in between each tooth flossed.
I wonder if there's a reusable kind where you can just swap out a new string of floss
i found one. look up floss holder.

Awesome thanks! This might actually get me to floss now lol
Great! I hope so.
You can do it!
Ride that “new toy” feeling right into starting a health habit for yourself.
Pls gift me that thing for my birthday
