Make Flossing Fun with Plackers & the Plackers Flosser Friend {Review & Giveaway}

This post is written in collaboration with Plackers.  As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Dental health can be a bit of a battle in my house.  I constantly feel like I’m reminding my kids to brush and making sure that they floss.  It’s tedious, really.  But instilling good dental hygiene early is imperative, because the habits they learn as kids are the ones that they will carry into adulthood.  So I continue on with my daily nagging inquiry, asking if they’ve brushed and double checking that they floss, with my eye out for new products that could make the process a little easier.  We’ve tried all sorts of toothbrushes, several different types of floss, and lots of mouthwash.  But the most successful so far?  Plackers Dual Grip Fruit Smoothie Swirl Kids’ Flossers!

The new Plackers Dual Grip Fruit Smoothie Swirl Kids’ Flossers have changed a daily chore into a fun and tasty task.  Made of hi-tech floss designed not to stretch, shred, or break, Plackers can handle even the most stubborn food and plaque.  Each Placker contains fluoride to promote strong teeth and reduce tooth decay, while the unique dual grip allows for different angles when flossing or parental assistance for little ones.  Dentists recommend kids begin flossing as soon as they have 2 teeth right next to one another, so this can be a real lifesaver with babies and toddlers, like Everett.

Going into it, I had no idea how successful the Plackers Smoothie Swirl Flossers would be, but just minutes after putting our Flosser Friend out, my kids were drawn to them.  I actually had to tell them to wait until after dinner to brush and floss – that’s a first!

My kids absolutely love the bright colors, the sweet smell, and the delicious taste of the flossers, but I think their favorite part might just be our new Plackers Flosser Friend that sits on our bathroom counter top.

Our Flosser Friend is a silly monkey with a big tooth-y grin, filled with Plackers Dual Grip Fruit Smoothie Swirl Kids’ Flossers, and, although they might not realize it, he’s their subtle reminder to floss each day.  The girls are actually so attached to him, that they’ve talked about naming him, but haven’t settled on anything just yet.  I’ll keep you updated.

Each morning and evening (and sometimes in between), they simply lift the monkey’s simile, grab a flosser, and floss.  The Flosser Friend keeps the Plackers clean and off the bathroom counter (or worse, from spilling out of the package and onto the bathroom floor), while the mere presence reminds them that they need to floss.  I’ve definitely done less “reminding” since he arrived, which is a huge win for me.
