Colgate Plax Mouth Rinse

The lasting impression of Colgate Plax mouth rinse is that it burns my mouth to the point of being unbearable. I really do like the clean fresh feeling it gives me but its hard to get past the burning feeling on my tongue. I like the flavour range it comes in and the fact that they leave my breath fresh which is gives great confidence. I team this with brushing and flossing and find that my teeth have strengthened up over the past few months and aren't as sensitive as they once were.

Bleurgh!

I'm currently using the ice flavour of this and having serious buyers remorse and it's severely testing my project pan. I was using a different brand and loved it but was short on money at the supermarket so went for this at half the price thinking how different can it be? Very different apparently.

My main gripe is the awful taste. It's not too atrocious at first but the lingering aftertaste is truly revolting. It's so bad that the man of the house refuses to use it and I'm left to gag my way through the entire bottle before I can buy my nice brand. I can kind of get through it by rinsing with water after but that kind of defeats the purpose.

The results don't stack up to the previous mouthwash I was using either. I don't get the squeaky clean feeling that I had come to expect.

I guess it's better than nothing and if you can stand the strong artificial sweetener aftertaste then the reasonable price makes it a great option for those on a budget. I highly doubt I will repurchase though.

I normally find mouthwashes too harsh and overpowering and I can't handle the burning sensation in my mouth. But Colgate Plax is very gentle and mild, which makes it much easier to gargle it. It makes my mouth feel very clean and fresh, and even feel fresh the morning after.

I prefer the Fresh Tea version - it is very refreshing and has a sweet green tea taste. The spearmint one reminds me too much of being at the dentist (the smell and taste) - which brings up all sorts of anxieties.

A very good and affordable product in my oral care routine.

I have this in the light blue formulation (Peppermint) and I find the taste to be pleasant. It's refreshing but not overly sweet, which is how I prefer my mouthwash. Mouthwash that tastes sweet should be banned. I have also used the Fresh Mint, which is the green version. I also always ensure that they are alcohol free.

I gargle about half a capful of this for about 20-30 seconds - it does not sting or become unbearable like some mouthwashes do.

I use this every morning and night and it leaves my mouth feeling fresher than just brushing and flossing alone - it's an essential step in my routine.

As you age especially after kids and hit your 30 your teeth start giving you problems..... A staple in my bathroom and daily routine is mouthwash together with flossing. Although my dentist tells me that I can make my own I prefer just buying it affordable price I always buy spearmint the green one..... As it leaves the freshest after taste getting all the nasties out that the brush couldn't leaving me so fresh and clean.

I bought the Fresh Mint flavour and used it after I brushed my teeth. I have never considered myself to have sensitive teeth or mouth but I did find the flavour quite strong. It did leave my mouth and teeth feeling clean and fresh. I used less next time and added a bit of water and it was more tolerable. I continue to use it this way and hapy with the result

I use this after I brush my teeth its very strong and feel it burns my mouth if its swished around to long, I like this product though as its not to sweet like other mouth washes and it keeps a fresh feeling in my mouth for a good hour

Okay, so the dentist keeps telling me that mouthwash is not an essential. I think my standards of essential are different though, because I do like to have some handy.

Colgate Plax is an alcohol-free mouthwash, which comes in a range of flavours. I currently have Freshmint, but I've used the others as well.

The bottle is clear, with easy-to-read labelling and a white cap, which doubles as a 'cup' to avoid drinking from the bottle.

The claims are that it kills oral germs, helps to keep gums healthy, and freshens breath, protecting your teeth for 12 hours. I don't go around spot checking my teeth for plaque so I won't comment on that feature, but I certainly feel cleaner in the mouth, fresher and more 'finished' with a dental hygiene routine after using mouthwash. I like Plax because it's relatively inexpensive, from a known brand, doesn't feel like it's 'burning' as it doesn't have the alcohol content and tastes nice.

I occasionally use it between meals if I'm heading out but don't need a full teeth brushing session.

I have the fresh mint mouth wash and use it after brushing. I find it really strong and over powering. It burns my mouth and tounge which is not ideal. Also after I spit it out I feel like my tounge is still tingling so I find myself rinsing my mouth out with water to get rid of the flavour. This is definatly not my most favourite mouth wash and I don't think I would re purchase it again

We recently purchased the fresh mint as hubby always likes to use a mouthwash, however I am finding it incredibly overpowering and feel as though it's burning my mouth and tongue!

It seems to have a strange after taste as well that I don't find very pleasant but it does leave my mouth with a squeaky clean feeling.

The packaging itself is great, easy to screw on and off cap ando clear bottle so you know how much is left. Don't think we will be repurchasing this one and I may have to leave the hubby to finish it off!
