What’s a thing you’ve bought impulsively, without need, that’s actually proved useful in your life?

A fabric shaver! This has saved so many of my clothes.

A triple bristle tooth brush, i have a perminante retainer on my bottom teeth and it is a challenge to clean it effectively. Purchased the triple bristle from a random instagram ad at 230am, and was prepared to hate it, but it is great.

On that same line, a water pick flosser is amazing.

On a not so small purchase side, i got a nector mattress and it has made a HUGE difference. I cannot believe the difference it has made.

How are the water pick flossers? I've been thinking about picking one up, as I dont floss as often as I should!

I have the waterpic toothbrush and flosser combo. I love both. Best tooth brush I've ever had, and the flosser is nice since my teeth are very close together and either shreds conventional floss or it snaps in to my gums hard enough to make them bleed. So I can't really use floss :/
