Q: Can this product be used for multiple children in the household? Or is it recommended that each child have their own?
A: I wouldn't recommend multiple siblings using the same one, especially in winter during the cold and flu season. The clear plastic applicator that you insert into your mouth and move back and forth across the tooth - gum line snaps in and out for easy replacement. BUT I don't see how a parent could mark each child's applicator for easy identifying. I highly recommend this Waterpic flosser for kids (age 8 and older) or adults.

Q: I was thinking about buying this, I'm NOT a kid. What I want to know is this, this WILL NOT leak after I put water in it, will it?
A: If you leave water in it after you use it, it will leak. My advice is to make sure you empty the holding container when you are done. Other than that this is a nice water pik. We got it for my son's braces and it worked great!
submitted byJBradshaw - 9 years agoA: I bought this for myself and not kids. It has not leaked on me yet. I like the small compact size of it.

Q: My Ultra died after just 3 years so thinking about this one instead. 1) If you've used both, how does the lowest pressure on this compare to the Ultra? 2) Does the tip rotate or is it fixed position?
A: Hello - The WP-260 model offers three pressure settings between 10 and 80 PSI, while the Ultra model provides ten pressure settings ranging from 10 to 100 PSI, which may lead to noticeable differences in performance. Additionally, the WP-260 model does not include a rotating tip.

Q: What age is the youngest age that could use this?
A: Hello Tagetmom - The Water Flosser for Kids by Waterpik is typically recommended for children ages 6 and up. However, it's important to ensure that the child is capable of using the device properly and safely. Supervision by a parent or guardian is recommended to ensure correct use and to help the child develop good oral hygiene habits. If you have any concerns or specific questions regarding your child's oral health, it's always a good idea to consult with a pediatric dentist.
