Healthy gums don’t bleed, and are not painful to floss at all.
I’m in my 30s and only recently learned flossing technique and got my gums healthy. Flossing used to take so long and always involved a lot of bleeding no matter how delicate I was.
These days I’m absolute savage with floss and interdental brushes and never have any blood or pain.
Once you get your gums healthy you’ll be disgusted at yourself for ever not flossing. The amount of disgusting I can floss out on an almost daily basis is insane.
Plus you’re breath will not smell gross anymore.
It’s worth committing to the habit of flossing. Trust me.
I had a waterpik but it broke, so it’s repurposed as a milk dispenser for the cat when we’re away.
You only need to floss the teeth you want to keep.
Unless your German apparently? Aldi doesn’t sell floss.
Aldi is a discount grocery store. You’d need to go to DM/Rossman for that stuff. Alternatively, the large grocery stores probably carry some stuff as well, but they’re still a different category of store.
