I floss every day, and I don't bleed, but then when the hygienist does it, I bleed a little. I am doing every tip they have given me to improve my form, but it still happens some. Any tips from internet strangers?

My best theory is that the hygienist is rougher on my gums than I am (they let the floss snap down onto my gums hard enough that it hurts) but I'm not certain enough to challenge their technique to their face.

    I think that's what our brains are for. I mean, I think the meaning of life is to extend that song beyond ad nauseum. To let awful tenants live rent free so long that they die in your brain apartment and you have to accommodate their ghost.
