A few weeks ago, I started a 21-Day Challenge using LISTERINE® Brand products. The challenge was to brush twice a day, rinse with LISTERINE® twice a day, and floss once a day.
While my healthy habits were already pretty good, I have never been a twice-a-day mouthwash user! In fact, once or twice a week was more likely. Since starting (and successfully finishing!) this challenge, I am proud to say that this is now a part of my regular routine, and I plan on continuing!
“I received a Target gift card to purchase LISTERINE® Brand products from Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in the LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own.”
Super Fresh Breath, Squeaky Clean Teeth
I was interested when I started this challenge to see how making this slight change in my oral hygiene routine would change things around here.
First of all, once I started using mouthwash morning and night, my kids started using theirs on a regular basis!
They learn by example, of course, so when I set the bar, they wanted in on it! My daughter is also now regularly flossing on her own with regular floss (as opposed to the picks), which she loves. She’s like me and likes to see how much gross stuff she can get out of there before brushing and swishing at bed time!
My breath stayed fresh much longer.
The great part about this was its appetite suppressing super power. 🙂 Okay, not really, but with a minty fresh mouth, the last thing I wanted to do was eat or drink something to mess it up! I chose to use mouthwash right after breakfast and a little bit after dinner to help with that. Once you have such a fresh mouth, it’s hard to imagine wanting a different flavor in there. Of course, sometimes I did snack afterward in the evenings, so I swished again before bed!
Squeaky clean teeth aren’t a myth.
They exist, and they LAST! I have always loved the clean feeling that flossing and brushing give, and the mouthwash helps turn that into a full mouth experience. I love to run my tongue over my teeth and feel how smooth and clean everything is!
My Favorites
I loved all of the great products I used during this 21-Day Challenge. I really like the LISTERINE® Cool Mint mouthwash and the LISTERINE® Whitening Toothpaste. I used REACH floss, like I have for years. My daughter is using this floss now, too.
My kids LOVED using the LISTERINE® Smart Rinse mouth wash products! My daughter appreciates the pink Barbie one because her whole bathroom theme is girly and pink, and the boys picked out and love using the Phineas and Ferb variety. Either way, they love the taste and do not complain about using it. In fact, they remind me almost every night and ask if they can swish with it!
