I use floss pickers and have been brushing every day since my deep clean. Got a history of depression so my oral health went to crap over part of it diagnosed with focal gingivitis. Been using sensodyne and biotene. I just never really liked normal floss and found floss pickers more easier to deal with. Though do notice slight blood still when digging in the gums with them. Wondering if this is common with floss pickers. Also use a water jet here and there. Getting older and being hit with 1k dental bills left and right is just something I don't want to deal with anymore.
Will the bleeding ever stop?

Bleeding when using any type of floss is normal in cases where you might have had gingivitis or periodontitis.
Make sure that you don't pick too hard.
The bleeding should gradually become less and less, as your oral health improves and you continue to floss.
