Traveling with Your Water Flosser: Tips for the SWSH S20 on the Go

Oral Care Doesn't Take a Vacation

When we pack for a trip, it's easy to leave our healthy habits at home. We pack a travel toothbrush but leave our flossing routine behind. However, traveling often involves eating out more, consuming sugary snacks, and disrupting our sleep schedules—making dental hygiene more important than ever. Here is how to travel easily with the compact SWSH S20.

1. Empty the Tank Completely

Before packing your flosser, ensure the water reservoir is completely empty. Run the device for a few seconds to flush out any water remaining in the internal pump. Leaving water inside can lead to spills in your luggage and create a damp environment where bacteria thrive.

2. Disassemble and Protect the Nozzle

Always remove the nozzle tip from the handle before packing. If you leave it attached, a sudden impact on your bag could bend or snap the connector. Store the tips in a protective case or a dedicated pocket in your toiletry bag to keep them clean and intact.

3. Leverage USB Charging

One of the best features of the SWSH S20 is its USB-charging capability. You don't need to pack a bulky, proprietary charger. You can charge it using your phone charger, laptop, or a USB port in your hotel room. A full charge lasts for weeks, so you might not even need to charge it during a short getaway.

4. Keep It Dry

Store your flosser in a breathable pouch rather than a sealed plastic bag. Letting air circulate around the device helps it dry out completely between hotel stays, preventing mold and keeping your device fresh and ready for use.
