I'm all for fresh breath & a long lasting fresh feeling mouth! I was asked to review Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh toothpaste and I eagerly agreed because I've never used the Tom's of Maine brand. This toothpaste appears to be "wickedly fresh" and will naturally give me long lasting fresh breath and is made with all natural products. I received a full size tube & some samples right around Halloween. I'm giddy, like a kid in a candy store when I get something new to try out! I ran upstairs & pulled out my toothbrush & brushed away. The flavor is lightly minty, not overpowering. It was almost a creamy mint. The color is a greenish-blue and looks & smells like toothpaste. Brushing my teeth created a white foam. I noticed this foam in the corners of my mouth about 20 minutes later - yeah that annoying left over white crusty stuff. Yuk! After I brushed, I went to put the cap on top of the tube and noticed the toothpaste had squirted out on its own & I had to get a tissue to remove the extra toothpaste. This was a common occurring every time I brushed. Very annoying. That turned me off right away! I never felt like my mouth was minty fresh. Maybe it was minty fresh, but the mild flavoring of mint just didn't give me that freshly brushed feeling. I had my kids try it & they thought it was too spicy. They are tweens but they still like the flavor of the kiddie toothpastes. I gave away coupons to my neighbor moms, who are awesome friends, and gave their kids the extra sample sizes of toothpastes to the kids on Halloween night (along with some candy). I've heard pretty much the same rumblings from the neighbor moms. Same problem with getting the tube back on the toothpaste, not feeling like they have a fresh mouth, and their kids didn't like the taste. Nope, this didn't do it & I will not be purchasing this product. Bummer!
