I received a Target gift card to purchase LISTERINE® Brand products from Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. and The Motherhood as part of my participation in the LISTERINE® 21-Day Challenge. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this post are my own.
When I started this challenge, I felt like a huge commitment. Even though it was only 10 minutes out of my day, it was just one more thing that I had to get done. While I always brush my teeth in the morning, I am horrible about flossing, rinsing, and sometimes even skip the night time brushing. You can read about the start of my journey here.
Like most journeys, the first couple of days are easy, because you are motivated to succeed, and then it becomes more of a challenge. I must admit that I loved how clean my mouth felt, which kept me on track. I did skip a few nights, out of pure exhaustion, but overall I think I did well. Flossing is not as tedious as it seemed before and I am rinsing with Listerine twice a day, which keeps my mouth feeling clean longer.
Since I already used Listerine mouthwash, that wasn’t a stretch for me, although I find the antiseptic version burns less. I can say that I love the Listerine Whitening toothpaste and that I will not be going back to the other brand I was using. This toothpaste left my mouth feeling fresher than I was used to and hubby likes it too!
This journey has been a positive experience for my family and one that I has become a lifestyle change for us. The boys now rinse twice a day, instead of once and Wyatt is flossing on a regular basis. Hubby and I have been better about flossing and rinsing twice a day. I really feel that what started has a journey has now become a lifestyle for us.
And, it is not too late to join in the fun! Remember to post your “Swish Selfie” to the Listerine Facebook Page to support to Oral Health America’s Smiles Across America® program and learn more about the challenge.
