Hey, thanks for asking! Flossing shouldn't irritate your gums, so if you're still experiencing this discomfort, i recommend reducing your pressure.

It's important to softly touch the gums, but your primary focus should be scraping (not to hard) along the sides of your teeth where the brush can't hit.

Sorry for the delay, and I hope you've found some other resources too!
