If you’re running out of things to watch, you should check out this year’s Prime Day streaming deals to gain access to a virtually unlimited library of content across the most popular services. Shoppers usually take advantage of Prime Day deals to buy appliances and gadgets, but it’s also a good time to purchase subscriptions to streaming services because of the savings that you can achieve. Streaming services, such as Amazon’s own Prime Video, offer different kinds of TV shows and movies that cater to a range of audiences, and so there’s always something for everyone, from kids to adults. You don’t have to limit yourself to one streaming service though, especially if you want to enjoy all the exclusive content that’s being rolled out on these online platforms. There’s also no limit to when you want to access the TV shows and movies, as streaming services may be accessed by TVs, laptops, smartphones, and many other devices.

While looking through the services that are part of Prime Day streaming sales, you may be thinking about upgrading the appliances and devices where you’ll be watching the new content that you’ll be able to access. If you’ll be watching primarily from home, you should check out Prime Day 4K TV deals, so that the TV shows and movies will be displayed in the highest quality. If you’re planning to consume streaming content while on the go, you might want to upgrade with Prime Day smartphone deals, Prime Day tablet deals, and Prime Day laptop deals. For those who’ll be mostly using their desktop computer, improve your PC’s display with Prime Day monitor deals, or buy a new one while you’re at it with Prime Day PC deals. Also take a look at Prime Day speaker deals for louder audio if you always watch with your family and loved ones, or browse Prime Day headphone deals if you prefer to watch by yourself so that you don’t disturb others.

Best Prime Day streaming deals

Amazon’s Prime Video, as expected, is front and center in Prime Day streaming deals, but you’ll also find offers for other services such as Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and more. With so many options for streaming services, it’s very easy to sign up for a subscription and discover new content for you to consume. More families are moving away from cable subscriptions and replacing them with on-demand streaming services, and it’s easy to see why. There are no programming schedules, so you can watch your favorite TV shows and movies at your preferred time. It’s also very easy to discover new content that you may like, due to the categories on the interfaces of streaming services and the algorithms that make recommendations depending on your history on the platform. You’ll surely be able to maximize your subscriptions to streaming services, even if you sign up for several ones at a time.

While Prime Day streaming sales won’t run out of stock, you need to make sure that you buy the subscriptions that you want before the annual shopping event ends. This means that you’ll have to do your research on what kind of content each service offers, particularly the TV shows and movies that you can only watch on their respective platforms. You’ll need to think about not just your own preferences, but also those of the other members of your household. For example, if you have children, you need to check the kid-friendly lineup of the streaming services that you’re planning to sign up for, and if your parents love to watch old movies, find the platform that hosts most of their favorite films. The good news is that there’s no limit to how many streaming services you sign up for at the same time, so if you end up with multiple platforms as your top options, it’s fine to buy subscriptions for all of them, especially during Prime Day as you don’t have to pay full price.

Should you buy a new streaming subscription on Prime Day?

Whether you’re currently paying for cable, or you’ve exhausted all the things that you can watch with your current streaming service, you should take advantage of Prime Day streaming deals to gain access to more content for you to consume. You may have a 4K TV, or a powerful PC with a gorgeous monitor, or a tablet that you can bring with you everywhere, but in order to maximize these devices, you need to have access to a massive library of TV shows and movies. It’s a bit of a waste to own a top-quality screen if you’ll keep watching the same things. Additionally, with all the content that is being added to streaming services almost daily, you should sign up now if you want to start catching up on all of it. There are a lot of critically acclaimed and award-winning TV shows and movies on streaming services, and with the consistent rollout of even more of them, you don’t want to be left behind.

You’ll likely be able to enjoy discounts when signing up for these services on other occasions outside of Prime Day, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, there’s no guarantee when the price cuts will happen, or if the reductions from their original prices will be larger. There’s no point in holding back on signing up for a streaming service as it’s unknown if you can take advantage of a lower price, and especially if you have even at least a few hours of time to watch TV shows and movies daily. There’s no better time than now to gain access to the library of content offered by a streaming service, especially if you’ll also be buying other products such as a 4K TV or a monitor on Prime Day. Don’t hesitate and just choose the services that you want to sign up for among those offered in Prime Day streaming sales.

How to choose a streaming service on Prime Day

To gain an idea of what kind of content you can find among the different platforms, check out Digital Trends’ best online streaming services, which covers Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, and several others. There’s also an in-depth comparison between Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video, which you should take a look at if these are among your top options. One thing that you can do to help you in choosing which subscription to buy on Prime Day is to check the original TV shows and movies on each streaming service. Because you can only find them on their respective platforms, you’d want to be signing up for the services with the exclusive content that you’re most interested in watching. For example, the best Amazon original series include superhero cartoon Invincible and alternate reality series The Man in the High Castle, while the best Amazon original movies include music drama Sound of Metal and ’50s-era sci-fi thriller The Vast of Night.

There are other factors in choosing where to sign up among Prime Day streaming deals though, including the list of supported devices for your preferred streaming service, and the interface that dictates how easy it is to find the TV shows and movies that you want to watch and to discover content that falls under your preferences. If you’ll give your children access to the streaming service, you should check if there are parental controls that you can activate so that you can limit what they can get their eyes on. It’s also a good idea to check the video and audio quality of the streaming service, especially those with different tiers in their subscription plans.

Aquarius Water Flosser WP-660

While electric toothbrushes are great, they are only a part of your total tooth and gum health that you need to look after. Flossing is also an important part of it, and while many people are put off by having to do it manually, you can certainly use an electric water flosser to make your life much easier. Luckily, there are a lot of great Prime Day deals on water flossers and Waterpki, so you have a lot of options to pick from, although we've collected some of our favorite ones below.
Sejoy Cordless Water Flosser -- $22, was $60

If you'd like a budget-friendly portable water flosser, our pick is the Sejoy; not only is it well priced with the discount, but it also has a reasonably good capacity. It also has an impressive 1900 times/min pulse rate and is good whether you have braces or periodontal pockets. The mouth of the nozzle is only 0.6mm, so you can really get into those tough-to-get spots and get any tiny gaps. While Sejoy says that it will handle up to 30 days of charge, that will vary a lot depending on how often you use it.
