Therabreath products in-depth review
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2016 5:24 pm
I have been using various Therabreath product for a few months now.
Some of them are great, some OK, and others useless.
Here are the ones I have used so far:
Regular mouthwash
PLUS mouthwash
Gum
Oral probiotics
Lozenges
PLUS toothpaste
Regular mouthwash
Not recommended. Without going into too much detail, there is no point in buying this when you can get the extra-stength for a few bucks more. It will work for a while, but eventually the bacteria will adapt and you'll need to get the PLUS anyway.
PLUS mouthwash
This stuff is great. Don't get me wrong - it doesn't last very long after a while. I had an idea to remove the label from a water bottle and fill it with this stuff, as it is clear like water and 100% safe to ingest. However, after a month of doing this, while it was extremely discreet, the bacteria in my throat began adapting and now it has become less effective. Therefore, I would recommend to avoid swallowing this stuff more than once per week.
Gum
OK. It doesn't produce saliva as advertised - in fact, the opposite. It dries my mouth out after 5 minutes of chewing, which leads to even worse breath. However, the taste is good and it does help for a few minutes if you need a boost.
Oral probiotics
Don't waste your money. I'm not saying oral probiotics can't help, but I used a couple of boxes of these ones and there was no effect. Perhaps a different brand?
Lozenges
Hands down the BEST product of the lot. By far the most effective, these lozenges produce lots of saliva which helps to naturally clean the mouth. Sometimes there is so much I can swallow a big gulp and feel my mouth getting cleaned. 1 box of 100 is $9.99, or something close to that. The downside is while they clean the mouth and provide a potent scent to mask bb, they don't last very long - about 5 minutes. If you constantly work in close quarters, you might spend $5+/day on them. I would recommend this product, or something similar with a lower price.
PLUS toothpaste
Good. I don't know how much more effective it is than normal toothpaste, but I would certainly guess that it is better overall based on my experience. We all need to use toothpaste anyways, you might want to consider using this stuff.

I hope this post helps at least 1 person. You might be thinking "my breath is so bad, this stuff only works for people like you who don't have it as bad", actually, even with immaculate hygiene, my bb is barely maskable for even 10 minutes using all of the tools in my possession. I just wanted to write this post to help the community by providing more knowledge which might not have been well known.
With all of that said, the only product I would really recommend are the saliva lozenges. Even if/when my bb is cured, I will still use these or a similar product to make up for all the people who had to smell me for almost a decade.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for reading
