Floss holders are cheap and make it a lot easier to reach the teeth in the back:

Plus you use less floss, and save your fingers.

Use a water pick. They are superior in every way including less waste. You can use salt water to help your gums as well.

Use both! Water picks are fine but are not a replacement for flossing. Also I lied they are awful and they are basically the thing that convinced me to floss regularly.

it works on food, but it doesnt replace a floss though, i combine the backteeth floss with a water floss, sometimes alternating a different day.

The floss holder is more compact, easily portable, and doesn't require recharging.
