Design Details

Unique Properties
F3 is just the size of iPhone when being packed and convenient for storage.The nozzle storage bin is integrated with the water inlet in an innovative manner,so that the nozzle can be carried with you at all times on the trip thanks to the dust proof and stain repellent properties.The overall design is simple.The dust-proof cover at the water inlet is brief and delicate,while the wavy glass shell with skid resistant function gives users a brand-new visual experience.
Inspiration
Chinese people have sensitive oral cavities and their awareness of oral care is relatively weak.The using water flosser is the last step of oral cleaning,it can deeply clean the diastema and gingival crevice.Fresh breath can make you more confident.In consideration of different usage scenarios by users,F3's nozzle can rotate freely 360 degrees,and three modes are offered so that consumers who use the water flosser for the first time can find a more suitable cleaning experience for themselves.

Realization and Technology
The whole product adopts the design that can be easily carried around with side area even smaller than that of a mobile phone. We have also designed a 360-degree rotatable nozzle,which allows users to clean the oral cavity at multiple angles.Due to the air tightness requirements in the industry,the relief port must be open when drawing the water tank,while F3's unique wedge-shaped design can naturally deflate and reduce negative pressure without opening the relief port,and will automatically clip on after stretching in place and form a good seal.
Operation and Interaction
Due to the air tightness requirements in the industry,the relief port must be open when drawing the water tank,while F3's unique wedge-shaped design can naturally deflate and reduce negative pressure without opening the relief port,and will automatically clip on after stretching in place and form a good seal. The nozzle storage bin is integrated with the water inlet in an innovative manner,so that the nozzle can be carried with you at all times on the trip thanks to the dust proof and stain repellent properties.
