[Walmart] Waterpik Ultra water flosser - $44.96 Blk only & FS

Deal Link:: https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/waterpik-u ... 0192076683
Price:: $44.96
Savings:: 38%
Retailer:: Walmart

I have had my Costco $60 warehouse sale Waterpik Ultra + Nano dual pak for a number of years now. While still working, its getting a bit scaly & gross as anyone who's had one likely knows. I suppose I could do a massive detail clean but wat da hey, maybe its telling me its time for a new one esp since its not that expensive + its something I put in my mouth on a daily basis.

Coincidentally Costco is having the same Waterpik dual pak on for $60 right now. Since I've never used the Nano flosser, I thought I'd ask Unc Goog to see if there's anything better for just the Ultra (which I love fwiw).

Well waddayanoe, Walmart has the Waterpik Ultra black only on sale for $44.96. Seems like a good deal to me esp since price incl FS & no membership required for those without.

I just ordered one & thought I'd give a shoutout here for anyone else with similar needs.

They are pretty messy, but you can minimize it once used to it. Good regular flossing is probably better but I find Waterpik much easier to do and to maintain a routine, I hated regular flossing.

Water flossing done correctly is much superior, it will remove way more stuff than normal flossing.

I’m one of those who never used to floss, I bought this a year ago and have been using it every day since. For those who say this doesn’t work, they must not know how to use it lol.

Waterflossing works better than regular. Been using for many years and only floss with a thread when travel. I tried 3 different ones all work about the same. I suggest find a portable one which you can charge. They hold less water and maybe not as strong,but very capable, take much less space too. This one is too large. I had a similar one for a year.
Just search around. Mine holds 300ml. There are some that hold more. On most days I don't have to refill it and can do all teeth, but at times I have to fill it twice. takes literally about 10 seconds so hardly a hassle. I charge it and it's good for about 3-4 weeks for a family of 2.

Here's what I mean by portable(just example).

I used to think it is all gimmick and marketing. After my dentist and couple of friends recommended this, gave it a shot. Now I am one of those friends who recommends this and sound like a MLM guy trying to explain benefits of this.

There is something about flossing I don't like. I find I use my Pik a lot more. My hygienist noticed a great improvement.

Since getting one of these the hygienist has said more than once that I must have a good routine of oral care, good for me. And hygienists NEVER say good things!

Costco seems like the better deal right? Comes with 2 although one is smaller.

For 15$ more, you get carrying bag + nano at costco. I picked one up today and surprised how small nano is in the bag, and it says same power as big one on the go for travels and stuff.

I must admit tho the black version looks much more better than the white

Waterpiks are a great addition to your oral hygiene regiment but the general consensus is that it shouldn't be considered a replacement for flossing. The pressure of the water does not create enough shear forces to remove as much plaque as traditional flossing can.
