While it's fair to say you may be more effective with floss picks, string floss overall is more effective, and could be for you as well with practice. There is a much greater range of motion with string floss, and you can actually wrap it around your teeth and get close to your gums. I don't imagine this comment will change your flossing habits, and using floss picks is better than not flossing (for your oral hygiene) but I wouldn't use your anecdotal evidence to suggest other people switch to picks or use picks before normal string floss. Not saying you do recommend it, but idk how others would interpret your personal preference as a recommendation.
Just what works for me. From what my dentist says I'll probably just stick with what's been working
