> 3 dayFixodent works for short time periods, but l have found that it doesn’t last as long as the company claims. Also, the product dissolves in my mouth and I don’t like that so much of it ends up in my stomach.

> 3 dayI ordered Fixodent Ultra Max Hold in the box that is gold on the left side of the box (UPC Code 037000756057), which is what I thought I was buying but instead received box that is blue on the left side of the box (UPC #037000789208). The name is the same but the new blue box formulation is definitely inferior to the original Ultra Max Hold. The new formulation texture and wear seems no different than their other denture adhesive products which only holds my dentures for 1-3 hours before having to reapply (which I used to do 5 times or more a day). Ultra Max Hold in box that is gold on the left side holds my dentures all day (up to 12 hours or more and I loved it)! I have used Fixodent denture adhesive for years. All my teeth were removed when I was 29 due to Periodontal Disease. I am now 72, female, and do not have much bone structure left In gums to hold dentures in, especially my bottom denture. The original Ultra Max Hold formulation in the box that is gold on the left side is the only product on the market that holds my dentures in so that I can eat and drink comfortably without having to reapply product numerous times each day! Now I cant seem to find the gold Ultra Max Hold boxes as stores are stocking the new formulation (in blue box) which is being FORCED on unsuspecting consumers! I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED and QUITE FRUSTRATED in the brand. Why do companies keep removing products that works well for those that need it!!! Being retired and on a fixed income, this really hurts some of us. The original Ultra Max Hold formulation was light pink; yes it is/was thicker, but for those that need a really firm hold I reiterate, the original Ultra was the best darn product on the market. The newer version is falsely advertised and is nothing like the original Ultra formula. Seems they kept the same Ultra name on the box, but instead are just filling tubes with their thinner versions!!! Shame on you!!!

> 3 dayI ran out of the Fixodent+ Precision Tip I usually use, and had to go to the local drugstore, which only had this. This is the strongest stuff Ive found. I apply it in a few places on my top denture, and no more sores from it coming loose in the front after eating. I only use it where I need a really strong hold, as it is a bit more of a challenge to get off than the less adhesive brands (rinsing with hot water while moving it around to loosen it does the trick). This does not have precision tip or any flavor.

Greater than one weekThis formula holds well but is too thick. I prefer fixodent plus it holds just as well but tastes better,is more flexible and is by far easier to remove. This stuff does not peel out in a continuous strip like fixodent plus. It has to be painstakingly removed in tiny bits

> 3 dayI got dentures about a year ago. Denture cream is so important..at least for me....because it makes all the difference as to what I can eat. I tried about 5 different brands. This brand has worked the best for me and I am sticking (HA) with it. When I apply it (which of course is pretty simple) I have found that I can eat almost anything. For anyone with dentures that is not always the case. Suggestion...I usually wait a few minutes before I try to eat anything just so they can get a good hold. Also, a dentist had told me to wet them before applying the cream...dont do that. Apply the cream to dry dentures and that really helps them stick. For anyone who has their own teeth (good for you...keep going to the dentist and floss floss floss) you have no idea how horrible it is to no longer be able to eat certain things. I am not going to grab an ear of corn and pronounce to everyone...I can eat corn on the cob again because I have not tried it and I probably will not. BUT I have been able to eat whatever I wanted...which I never thought I would be able to again. Another note...the adhesive usually loses some of its adhesion after a few hours, so if you want to eat something that will take a bit of chewing you should eat within the first couple of hours. The teeth will still stay in but they do loosen after a while. Its pretty simple though to remove them, rinse, dry, and reapply. That whole process only takes about three minutes. OK, let me give a little suggestion. This denture adhesive REALLY REALLY keeps those dentures attached to my gums. If you are not planning on keeping your teeth in for a few hours then be careful in how much you put on your dentures. If you try to remove them and they wont come out...yes, that has happened to me and I totally freaked out..then try rinsing your mouth with warm water and then very slowly start to rock the denture (it is almost always the upper plate) back and forth. They really will eventually come out but try not to pull them....I have....it hurts. The uppers will usually have some of the product left when I remove them but it easily comes off with a brief scrub under water and a denture brush. Ok. That is everything I can think of. Happy eating!
