In a recently shared image on Reddit, a man captures the crazy aftermath of using a Water Pik for the first time. The image, which has garnered numerous comments and reactions, depicts a bald man with a beard standing in front of a bathroom mirror, taking a selfie with his smartphone. The mirror is covered in water droplets, suggesting a chaotic encounter with his new dental tool.

The man, dressed in a greenish-blue shirt, holds a bottle with a black lid in his left hand while his right hand is occupied with the smartphone, partially obscuring his face. The background reveals an off-white doorframe and a gray-painted wall, with natural light streaming in, reflecting off the mirror.

Reddit users were quick to share their own experiences and advice. One user reminisced, "I had that exact same experience the first time I used mine. Quickly learned to aim down towards the sink and keep my mouth more closed." Another humorously added, "Silly guy, you have to point it towards your mouth!"

Several users suggested using the Water Pik in the shower to avoid the mess. "If it’s a portable one without a power cord, use it in the shower! That way it doesn’t matter if it splashes all over!" commented one practical user. Another echoed this sentiment, "That's why I use mine in the shower."

Amidst the laughter and shared stories, a dental hygienist chimed in, "I’m a dental hygienist and this is crazy. I’ve personally never used one but always tell my patients I hear it’s messy at first!" This sentiment was shared by many, highlighting the learning curve associated with mastering the Water Pik.

For those unfamiliar with the device, one user humorously noted, "I'm tired and I just had to do a double take. And look up what a water pik is. Because in Danish, Pik is a slightly v***** term for the male reproductive organ..." This led to a flurry of light-hearted comments from Danish speakers.

Despite the mess, many users agreed on the effectiveness of the Water Pik as a dental hygiene tool. However, they emphasized the importance of technique. "Lean over the sink and point your mouth downward. Or do it in the shower," advised one experienced user. Another pointed out, "There is a definite learning curve."

As the man in the image learned the hard way, the first attempt at using a Water Pik can be a bit of a disaster. But with some practice and the right tips, it becomes an invaluable part of dental hygiene. So, take a deep breath, embrace the learning curve, and maybe consider using it in the shower next time!

At least it gives you an excuse to clean the mirror every time you use it

It's a disaster. You gotta keep your lips close around the pik.

You're supposed to aim it into your mouth, not at the reflection of your mouth.
