The following will introduce the precautions when choosing toothpicks in four aspects: length, thickness, tip shape, and material.
1. The impact of length, thickness, and shape on user experience
The shapes of various toothpicks on the market vary greatly, and there are reasons for the differences in length and thickness. Let's take a look at how they affect convenience of use.
Length: The longer the length, the easier it is to control the force
The longer the length of the toothpick, the more space it will allow the user to adjust the position of the force application, so that when using it to fork food, there will be no situation where the end can only be pinched tightly and it is inconvenient to use the force. Although length is an easily overlooked item, just paying more attention can make the usage process more stable and smooth.
Thickness: The thicker the material, the more stable it is
The thickness mainly affects the stability of the grip, as well as the strength of the toothpick and whether it will quickly damage. Although it may not be necessary to pay too much attention when using toothpicks to remove teeth, thicker styles have a better fixation effect when using toothpicks to prevent the spread of ingredients during cooking; If it is to assist in creating cake decoration or Nail art, select a finer type to improve the fineness of the finished product.
Shape: cylindrical, flat, and angular, each with its own purpose
The cylindrical toothpick is not easily harmful to the oral cavity during tooth removal, and is not only the most commonly provided type in restaurants, but also one of the commonly used props when making desserts that emphasize meticulous appearance. The flat type not only has the function of forking, but also can replace a knife to cut softer foods such as cakes; The angle type has high friction and is not easy to slip, making it more stable when used to fix food ingredients. Of course, the above are only general principles, and everyone's habits are not the same. It is still important to use one's own feelings after use as the most important benchmark.
2. Pay attention to whether the tip is spherical or pointed
When using a toothpick to clean the inside of the mouth, it is best not to choose products with excessively sharp tips to avoid accidentally damaging the gums; However, if used to penetrate the gaps of the remote control or keyboard to remove dust, the ball shaped tip may be inconvenient to use. Please consider the main purpose when choosing. In addition, sharp toothpicks made of hard materials such as bamboo often have considerable sharpness, and it is also important to be aware that they may accidentally harm children at home.
