Flossing [6.28.24]

One adult skill i have yet to master is flossing. everytime i go to the dentist, im told i need to floss more- guilty as charged, since i really like to just use the waterpick. But everytime i try to floss, i feel like I’m rippling my mouth open?? The circulation around my two index fingers are close to being fully cut off by the end and i’m left thinking- do i need to lose a finger to get my gums cleaned?? In order to get enough ‘floss’ leverage, I feel like you also need to pull out an insane amount of floss to wrap around your fingers only to really use the few inches in the middle. On top of all that, the floss has the audacity to break sometimes. if anyone out there is a floss boss, please send tips and tricks, because the dentist is expensive!
