Pulse is an all-in-one oral care device that combines a toothbrush and water flosser within a single handle. Designed to tackle that a third of UK adults never floss (myself included), Pulse removes the friction of using two separate tools by letting both flip out from one pocket-sized body at the push of a button. Its top-fill reservoir keeps the device compact rather than reliant on a bulky countertop tank, and a user-replaceable battery with an openable chassis makes it repairable by design a deliberate stand against the sealed, disposable electronics that dominate this category.
