October Prime Day 2024 wasannouncedand while you might already know exactly what you want, can I offer something you may not have your eye on but definitely should? A water flosser.

Dentists love these, and so do I. As someone who flosses daily and has a permanent retainer, a water flosser is game-changing. I’ve had multiple ones throughout the years, but as I’ve gotten older and acquired more stuff and less-spacious bathrooms (I moved to New York from Texas), I have seen firsthand the benefits of the small cordless Waterpik. People even bring them in the shower.

Other options have a bigger reservoir to hold water so you don’t have to refill it too often, and some include a built-in toothbrush to combine it all in one. Regardless, they last a long time, and you don’t have to worry about buying more floss or trying to reach the very back teeth to floss between. And it’s perfect timing, considering everyone isobsessed with teeth again(and it will probably have a bigger discount than it currently has).

Here are three different options to buy if you’re looking to up your dental-hygiene game or just love beauty tools. Trust me, it’s worth it.

So, you’re looking for a water flosser?

The Classic Waterpik

$78

This might be the most iconic Waterpik. It takes up more space on your counter, but it has ten settings and a built-in timer for more in-depth flossing.

The Two-in-One

This Waterpik is both an electric toothbrush and water flosser with ten different flossing speeds, a two-minute brushing timer, and the option to just brush, just floss, or do both at the same time.
