LOOKING FOR NEW MOUTH WASH...DON'T LAUGH!!

Lindsays Grandma — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 01:13:52 GMT

Okay everyone, my first question is "Has Listerine improved the flavor of their mouthwash?" I would like to find a new mouthwash but don't want to waste my money on Listerine if it still tastes horrible. Also my Lindsay is included in this request and she is picky, picky, picky.

Hope the New Year is off to a good start for everyone and thanks for helping us continue good habits taking care of our teeth. (Tried to include a smiley very happy emoticon but it didn't work)

Yes, brown Listerine tastes just the same. But, they make other flavors.

Are you talking about the original flavor or how about trying the Freshburst Mint version?

JustJazzmom and dusty1 - thanks for your help.

I'm trying to find out if they have new flavors and/or if the original has been improved.

Hi @Lindsays Grandma! I swear by Crest Pro-Health Complete. It has fluoride, which is important for me because we have well water, and it's alcohol-free. It's the clean mint flavor and it's the purple liquid (there are about 100 different kinds, but this is my fave). Good luck in your quest!

@Lindsays Grandma I am glad you started this thread because I am looking for a new mouthwash too.

I am currently using Listerine Cool Mint.

I like it but I think it is burning my tongue!

I am interested in that pretty purple Listerine.

It's beautiful lol

I don't see the need for mouthwash if you brush and floss properly...mouthwash has been linked to oral cancer...btw, I use Toms natural toothpaste...

Peppermint Scnapps. It's the mouthwash you can swallow.

I love thr original flavor Listerine. It's all I use. It doesn't seem as harsh as it was even in the 80's. Though I can't gargle with it like the old ads say too.

Look in the traveler section of Wal-Mart, Target, or a drugstore. Mouth wash is less than $2 (50¢-1.25) for a 2-4oz bottle. That way you can sample a bit, then give the ones you don't care for to friends or family, and not spend a lot for a big bottle.

Everybody's different! I just threw away a giant bottle of this- it left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth for hours.

I only tried it because I couldn't find the purple Listerine Complete in my store.

The Listerine is NOT yummy, but I always feel shiny toothed when I use it!

I use the original Listerine & have for many years. I thin it out with a little bit of water & so far that works for me. My husband & both have tried Crest Pro Health- great taste but it leaves a sloughing in our mouths- skin removal.. I read about it online and it isn't unsafe just yucky.

I use the original bronw Listerine. And my dentist approves. He uses it also.
