 too hard to use August 27, 2007

I bought one for me and one for my wife. We both feel it is too hard to get in between the teeth...the floss is just too wide. The floss is probably twice the thickness of the reach flosser or even string floss. Also, you have to hold the button down the entire time to use it.
 LOVE THIS THING!!! June 25, 2007

Wow! This is really a great device. At first I was skeptical about a "vibrating" flosser, but this really makes a difference for someone with gum issues. I carry the Hummingbird around with a "pick" installed instead of the flosser. It comes with a clear protector that keeps the pick safe and clean. You can carry it in your pocket and you will have it whenever your need it. I have found that it is getting harder to find, so I think I am going to stock up in case it is discontinued. It would be a shame because it really can make a difference for healthy gums and teeth.
 Very Dissappointed February 21, 2007
I bought this Hummingbird Flosser kit thinking that it could do the same work that my tired and circulation restricted fingers do. It failed in getting between even my not-so-tightly spaced teeth. I guess I'll stick with Oral B Ultra Floss since it works. If your teeth are very tight/close together, I would suggest that you not buy the Hummingbird flosser.

This is a great product and my oral hygenist has remarked on how healthy my gums are. I've been using the hummingbird (the flossers, not the picks) for two years now and I was dismayed to discover that it has been discontinued in Australia. I'm now buying the flosser refills from America. I sincerely hope the bird isn't given the bird there too.
good idea, very poor execution January 20, 2007

I really like my electric toothbrush from OralB so I thought I would like this too. However, it just doesn't work. The cartridges they have set up don't work because as soon as you tug on them at all, the floss becomes loose and therefore won't vibrate - it only vibrates if it's taut. But because of the way they have the cartridges set up, there is no way to make it taut again. It would have worked if instead they had used a roll of floss and let you feed it through yourself as needed, but they were too greedy and wanted to sell lots of cartridges.
This would be ok if you got lots of use out of the cartridges, but in my experience they broke halfway through a single use. So... forget it.
