What do they mean by Flavor protection? does the mouthguard have a taste?

Yes the mouthguard does have a flavor, mine was a blue raspberry. It's not strong like a 7 eleven icee. It just has a slight flavor so you don't taste plastic. I wore mine all the time when I played sports.

Hi Kevin - my boyfriend says the mouthpiece holds the tongue in a little "caged" slot. The "impressions" (i.e., the upper / lower rows that mold to the teeth) are locked. I.e., you cannot open / close your mouth but only parse your lips. It could work. But if you begin intending to breathe primarily through your mouth, you may find yourself drooling a lot.

No it does not. It is made of a harder plastic that does not seen to emit any taste at all. The one thing that you want to remember to do is to, be sure to clean the seals and port in the top with good hot water to remove any residue of what ever you might have had in it. That done, it will last forever. I have had mine for about 3 to 4 years and it is still as good as the day I got it. That care of it, and it will that care of you. Enjoy !

Personal preference. You should try the flavors store bought before you go through the trouble of making your own.

I'm sorry I can't help you. Mouthguard was too big and bulky and I could not use it at all.

The mouth guard is pretty thick and I would say this would not be a problem. Eventually normal use will require a replacement.

It feels like silicone. This is the details on package. "Soft-bite coating is FDA and CPSIA compliant. No mention of the exact material it is made of for mouth part.

If you value your teeth and brain cells I'd say yes! I had one of those simple ones for a few months and I can tell you: the comfort and ease of breathing is way better with this and the concussive impact when you get even a mild hit is reduced much better with a high quality mouthguard. also, with the ridge for the bottom teeth the jaw is protected a bit better.

I would strongly recommend a real mouth guard, this pops on and off very easily, plus you need to worry about biting your tongue! Also most sports have pretty specific safety requirements.

We bought my wife a mouthguard for about $250 a few years back. After comparing these to the mouthguard, they are pretty much the same exact thing. They are not as stiff as the mouthguard, but I see that as an advantage. My only concern would be is if there is anything in these that may be bad for your health after long periods of extended use (i.e., 6-8 hours each night), similar to BPA in plastic bottles. If no danger, then I'd say these are the way to go, plus you can use them for whitening.Good Luck!

No, I don't taste any flavor to the lip balm. It just not very moist. Hope this helps.

I just tried mine for the first time. It has no flavor to me. What's so un-palatable about it?

I'm so sorry to report that I couldn't use these. They burn my mouth; I've had radiation on my throat and head, and it changed my taste buds. A lot of things burn my mouth that never did before, for example...anything carbonated; anything with the slightest bit of spiciness. I gave mine away. Sorry I'm no help.

No no and no. They are really gross my son wouldn't even try to bite into it putting it in his mouth was bad enough . The coating on the outside is a sugary concoction that is trying to disguise the horrible smell, texture and taste and after taste. Hope this helps

Nope. I used mine straight away and had no issues with taste, smell, or anything.

Have no idea as taste. Recommend you bite a piece off to see. It is an anti-oxidant and used for things like ALS. arthritis, lung deficience, etc. so it is safe. Note: the other day, I chewed an aspirin thinking it was needed and surprised it didn't gag me or was not bitter so I won't hesitate to do it again if the need arises. Amazon is very good with their policies and am sure they will be fair with you with this product. Good luck to you and your son. Meemaw of 4
