A water flosser
It's made me way more likely to floss and it's so satisfying to do after eating any sort of food that gets stuck in your teeth
I legitimately didn't know something like this existed, thank you. is there any reason why one would continue using normal disposable floss rather than a water flosser?
Yes, a water flosser does not help against calculus. But itβs still a nice fresh feeling with water so itβs not a bad thing. But to get rid of calculus you need to physically rub/scratch it off with floss sticks between the teeth.

That's unfortunate, I need some help in maths class..
It shouldn't replace regular flossing, but if it is between no flossing, or only occasionally flossing, and using a water flosser every day, I'd imagine using just the water flosser is still a net positive.
