Confessions of a Stay at Home Mom: Dec 21, 2009

This time of year it seems like everything is dry. I have dry skin, dry lips, dry hair and dry mouth. I can lotion and condition the first three, but what's the best way to moisten your mouth?

Halls has came out with---no not a cough drop and not really candy either---it's an actual "mouth moistening" product, Halls Refresh.

* Advanced Moisture Action™ formula
* Sugar Free and may be incorporated into the diet of diabetics and others who are monitoring their sugar intake
* 0 grams of sugar per drop

They come in three mouth watering flavors: Refreshing Mint, Juicy Strawberry and Tropical Wave.

I had the pleasure of reviewing the Juicy Strawberry and Tropical Wave. These do what they claim, because my mouth was refreshed and definitely moistened. I just wasn't really crazy with the flavors. The strawberry was probably my favorite out of the two, but I think I was expecting more of a candy flavor because these weren't supposed to be cough drops, but I still felt like they had a medicinal taste. I let my husband try them both and he said that he wouldn't choose them for candy, but more of when he would have a sore throat or throat "itch", and I have to agree. I wouldn't want them for a snack, but they are definitely better tasting than regular cough drops for when you aren't really coughing but have a little "tickle" in your throat. I would like to try the mint flavor to see if I like the taste any better in those. Thankfully I don't suffer from chronic dry mouth, but if someone did, I can see how these would be a help, especially without all the sugar of a candy. I'd love to hear if you guys have tried these and what you thought!
