What are the different types of water flossers?

There are generally four different types of oral irrigators: countertop, cordless or battery operated, shower flosser, and faucet flosser.

Countertop - Heaviest and bulkiest of the four types. It sits on your countertop and plugs into a nearby electrical socket. They also come with an irrigation tank that you have to refill whenever it runs out of water.

Cordless or Battery-Operated - Typically slim, small, and portable. This waterpik water flosser provides the most flexibility, and is ideal for travelers. They may not be as powerful as countertop flossers, however. Here I recommend one cost-effective brand, Binicare Water Flosser, with 5 selective pressure modes and 5 replaceable tips, which meet all your daily needs. Cordless water flosser is becoming more and more popular nowadays.

Shower Flosser - Attaches to your shower head so you can floss after (or before) you’ve showered. You don’t need electricity or batteries, and don’t have to worry about refills, but they’re generally more difficult to maneuver.

Faucet Flosser - The most common type of water flossers, similar to shower flossers, but with a cord that attaches to the water basins instead of your shower head. Like shower flosser models, the drawback is maneuverability.

Pressure Settings: Most top rated water flossers have adjustable pressure capability, perfect for those with sensitive gums, implants or braces. A pulsating water setting is particularly effective at loosening tough-to-reach food particles.

A compact and cordless design allows for greater maneuverability.
