I Got a New Toy

I went grocery shopping today and as a rule I make one frivolous purchase every trip...And this week I found myself a little piece of pure oral pleasure with the Oral B "Hummingbird". Now I'm not sure what I was expecting or why I was so drawn to this battery-powered flosser and toothpick, but for 8 dollars I was more than willing to give her a try. This is what their Website had to say....

"Now flossing is easier and less messy. With a simple push of the button, Hummingbird gently vibrates so it feels amazing and gives you unmistakable benefits from day one. No matter which attachment you use, the flosser or the soft mint dental pick, your teeth and gums will feel cleaner and fresher."

- Now I'm not known as a huge fan of flossing and I only manage it a couple times a week....But I have never really found it to be all that messy. I mean, there is the odd time you shoot some plaquey-goo at the mirror as the floss is ripped from between your teeth, but I think the act of brushing your teeth is a little more messy. Its got foamy spit with plaquey-goo mixed in. So in the end I think it was the line mentioning that it "gently vibrates" that sold me. Those who know and love me will agree that I am always up for a little gentle vibration, or even rough vibration if the situation calls for it - and boy does this lil' baby got the buzz on. WOW! It truly did feel amazing! I was poking myself in my supple gums all afternoon. mmmmmhmmmm. I gently vibrated myself while watching T.V., and while I was in the Tub....and now I am going to gently vibrate myself to sleep.
