Xero Picks Dry Mouth - Infused Flavored Toothpicks for Long Lasting Fresh Breath & Dry Mouth Prevention (Variety 6 Pack)

First off, I bought the variety pack and the flavors in these picks are amazingly perfect. The tingling sensation on the lips, tongue, and mouth can be a little bothersome if you have a sensitive mouth, but it's really only noticeable if you aren't already pre-occupied.The flavor is on the spot. That being said, I should mention that I stick to a bland diet on most days, so perhaps my taste buds aren't as worn-out, but then again, I am a smoker trying to quit, and smoking will wreck havoc on your taste buds and sense of smell.If you're not sure what you would like, try the variety pack - so far, my favorite has been the churro flavor. Does it taste like an actual churro? Eh, kinda. Is it still a good tasting chew that won't splinter in your mouth? Definitely. Just follow the directions on each tube.Now, these sticks won't stop the craving for nicotine, so pair them with your choice of quitting aid. I honestly found them to be more effective than nicotine gum, but I still wound up smoking. On the plus side, these sticks helped me cut my cigarettes-a-day by almost half - and as a pack-a-day smoker who was getting worse? That is saying something. I plan to try pairing these with a patch instead, as the gum I chose doesn't really work too well.For me, personally, it was all about oral fixation. Needing something to do with my mouth. Did I mention I'm also a nail biter? These are good for that, too. I haven't chewed my fingers in days. The claim about relieving dry mouth is also surprisingly accurate. My only advice would be: 1. Don't bite hard like you're chewing a steak. and 2. Don't fall asleep with one in your mouth. (That last one is a no-brainer, but I was relaxing in my chair and ended up dozing off, so you never know. Luckily, it fell out of my mouth while I was alseep).Depending on you and your needs, you might end up re-using a single pick twice, or going through all it has to offer in one chew. I've done both. If I could have these without the pointed ends, I think I would; however, these do function as toothpicks as well and I have found myself idly picking my teeth while also chewing. Oh, Cinnamon Apple isn't so bad a flavor, either. And you get plenty of picks in one tube so I haven't been able to try the others yet as of writing this. I hope my review answers some questions.

Enjoyed these toothpick. Good taste. I wish you could choose your flavors. Loved the Churo, cinnamon, and caramel apple the most.

They work pretty good in my opinion.Helped me quit smoking.Truckers be warned of the sideways glance’s lol.

I was unimpressed. Not a lot of flavor and what there is didn’t last. They really didn’t help with dry mouth at all. Not worth the value for the price. They are thick and quality is ok

The media could not be loaded. As a toothpick chewer for 15 years (they are what I switched to when I quit smoking), I can honestly say that Xero toothpicks are the best I’ve found. I’ve tried over a dozen different brands of flavored toothpicks and hands down these are the best. They have a great variety of flavors and the flavors last far longer than any of the competition. Yes, they are a little expensive compared to some of the others but they are well worth the price. I wholeheartedly recommend Xero toothpicks for anyone looking for a great flavored toothpick to fight the oral fixation that comes from smoking, if you’re looking for a alternative to chewing gum, or even just for picking your teeth and stimulating your gums for better oral health!!

My husband quit his 4mg nicotine gum and used flavored toothpicks to help him. He had some form of nicotine for 25 years so it was rough at first as you can imagine. I got him hotlix cinnamon flavored to help with his oral fixation. He was afraid he would eat more if he didn’t have this distraction. It really helped! To mix it up a bit, I thought XERO Picks had cool flavors so I got him some. He really liked how the flavor lasts a long time. And some of those flavors were fun and yummy. Like Churro flavored! Then his lips started to get raw. Almost looked like he had a fever blister or something. He said his lips felt like they got sunburned or windburned. I don’t know what was causing this but he had to stop. He is back to hotlix now and still nicotine free and doing well. Maybe it’s the Xylitol in the XERO brand that didn’t do well for him. Whatever the reason, it noticeably chaffed his lips. I hope this review helps you decide if this is right for you.

I quit smoking a awhile ago but started really needing something to keep my mind at ease. These are great quality ( you can really bite down quite a lot and won’t get Pieces coming off) and they have great flavors that last much longer then I would have thought.If your looking for something to help quit smoking or help you not fidget at your desk these work great.

These things are great, sturdy tooth picks that dont fall apart in 5 minutes, and flavor lasts quite a while. One thing to not is what ever herb or flower extract they put in here gives a weird tingle sensation, it's not unpleaseant, just a bitt odd if you're not expecting it.Also the flavors themselfs taste like what their supposed to the carmel apple is my favorite.
