If you're not a fan of the regular string floss—who really is?—you might want to check out the Nicwell Water Dental Flosser, now at $27.99, down from $49.99. For an extra dollar or two, you can also get it in cute colors like pink and blue.
Here’s what you get in the package: three standard jet tips, a tongue scraper, and a brush tip for those with braces or dental implants. When it comes to operation, you can choose from four modes: normal, soft, pulse, and custom. The normal mode, although supposed to have standard pressure, has been reported by some reviewers to be quite strong and splashy. If you have sensitive gums, you should probably stay away from this mode and set your preferred pressure in the custom mode. A handy tip: always press the on button after placing the tip inside your mouth to avoid unexpected splashes.
As for battery life, this waterproof flosser claims to last up to two weeks on a full charge and only takes about four hours to recharge. One user mentioned they used it twice a day and still got a week’s worth of use from a full charge. A couple of users also noted some issues with the tank's cover attachment, especially the hinge feeling a bit loose and flimsy.
When comparing the Nicwell Water Dental Flosser to the Oral-B Advanced Cordless Water Flosser, they’re appeared pretty similar overall, especially with their cordless design and portability. Both come with multiple nozzle attachments, but Nicwell gives you more options with five tips compared to Oral-B's two. They’re both waterproof and have a decent water reservoir. You’ll find multiple flossing modes on both; Oral-B's modes are pre-set, while Nicwell lets you customize the pressure completely. Nicwell is a budget-friendly option at $27.99 (down from $49.99), while Oral-B, with similar features, is pricier at $73.58 (originally $89.99).
