Optimum Medical Glycerin Swabsticks (x75) – Lemon or Blackcurrant Flavour Pleasant Tasting Sugar Free Swab Sticks for Dry Mouth Relief and Dental Hygiene (Blackcurrant - Box of 75)

Great swabsticks. I bought these to have following jaw surgery and for use during early days recovery as I could not brush my teeth.They’re a bit bulky & come in sealed packs of 3.They are strong tasting which was rather unpleasant, but they refreshed and kept my mouth & teeth relatively clean when I wasn’t able to brush.They’re quite bulky too, so may be an issue if you have limited mouth opening.When you first open, they’re really wet so the pack of 3s keep the moisture which is good.I was having to prop up the open pack to save spillage/ drying.I’m not sure how safe it is to leave a pack o P en, full of moisture, could be a haven for germs.Overall really pleased with the product & it’s helped me out post surgery. Would definitely use again.

These are great to keep mouth comfortable in someone who is no longer eating and drinking .Helps keep the mouth and lips moist and helps keep lips from drying out . Chose the lemon flavour as felt it would be slightly more refreshing , but also comes in blackcurrant flavour . Carers use use this frequently throughout the day .Good value and arrived very quickly when we needed .

Review might be affected by the circumstances but not as most as I expected, and flavour didnt seem that strong, but they are exactly what they said they were & they were a great help.

These good

These were purchased for an 85 year old relative who needs to have their mouth cleaned and refreshed and to clear it to prevent choking. They were happy that these are smaller and less invasive than the mouth sponges. Ordered both flavours for a wee variety to the routine and used the lemon flavour swabs first go. They said they were good.

Not very lemony but they do cleanse and moist the mouth. Helps keeping a pack on the bedside table

As a nurse I wanted to be able to help my mum in law when she was at end of life. I was greatly saddened that the advice is now to use moistened gauze- as that seldom seems to assist the individual in mouth care.These glycerin swans have been used by hospitals for many years, as they provide moisture, comfort & freshness. You can actually clean an individual’s mouth properly with them.Plus, the sweetness of the glycerin seems to provide comfort for them. The lemon is an obvious benefit for freshness in the mouth.These were fantastic and enabled us to be able to deliver excellent care for her- throughout to the end

Got these as a mouth freshener. It is sealed in a sterile packet when you open it it’s like a giant cotton bud.A long plastic stick with a very soft end which is what you rub around the inside of your mouth, the bud part is very moist as you need it to be.The taste is good nice Lemon flavour not too bitter just a nice taste left in your mouth after.You get 3 in a packet and 25 packs in a box so good value for money.
