How long does one cushion last and does it leave a film or stickiness on the mouthpiece when removed?

These cushions last a very long time. Eventually they can wear out and/or get gross, so they should be changed after at least 6 months or so. Even still, they can last very long.They do not leave any film on the mouthpiece, and there is very minimal stickiness, that can easily be rubbed off with a little spit on your finger. The cushions can be taken off and put on again to be replaced or repositioned.

Mine last for approximately 2 months, when removed it only leaves slight bits of stickiness round the edges of the cushion that are easily removed with water and a mild detergent. I am in the habit of cleaning my mouthpieces thoroughly in water with a mild detergent using a Q-tip for gently rubbing spots of dirt before I apply a new cushion, so that ensures the mouthpiece is perfectly clean. Hope that helps.

I've been using it for a while now and I do think it works well. They recommend just water but every once in a while you can put mouthwash in it and it does a little better job of getting things clean. It is much easier than brushing your mouthguard or dentures everyday. Just place them in the container, fill with water or mouthwash and push the button. It runs for about five minutes. Remove container, rinse and you're done. I would definitely buy another if this one would break. Good luck.

I bought my first Hearos in Hawaii in Feb of 2011. I keep them in a large prescription vial with a top on. They lasted until the spring of this yr just fine. I bought 2 large pkgs of them, have them stored in the larger prescript containers and have no problems. The 2 that I am using, I have in a container that is uncapped. I have never experienced any drying out. I reuse them for quite a few times. I not only do for the lawn equip, but for the hair dryer, anything that makes a lot of noise.

I was able to leave a piece of Gishy Goo in my mouth for a day or two. It sticks very well, because it forms around the bracket and wire. Many times it would even stay in when eating. Although once in a while I ate it without realizing it. It stays in place very well, because it forms around the bracket and the wire. The closest description I can think of is that it is very similar to the caulking that you would apply to the bathtub. Sort of gooey at first, but then it becomes rubbery.

I reuse them several times and replace them after 3-4 trips. After each round trip, I clean them off and let them air dry. They are fabulous. Note that these are not to eliminate/muffle sound; they are for people who are bothered by ear pain while flying, and they really work.

None. The pads have sufficient adhesive gel and will stick for many uses. When it no longer sticks, just replace them.

It has lasted in my fridge as long as overnight. It all depends on how low you press the disc/how much air you take out! Hope this helps!

It has a fairly strong odor of its own, though not an unpleasant one, for about 24 hours. Then that odor disappears and so do any other odors in the area. This effect will last until the gel-like crystals shrivel up and get hard, which usually takes a month or more the way I use it, which is putting a half inch to one inch layer in a dish.

I think I get a better fit with the Prosoft and it is for sure a lot cheaper. I have had my denture relined one time but since then I have used Prosoft. I can usually go about 5 or 6 months before I have to put new Prosoft in. As to it being better than having them relined that would be a matter of opinion but for me I think using the Prosoft is better.

The one I received had plenty of time left on the expiration. Also they last quite a while, especially if you keep it in the refrigerator which is what my dentist recommended. Of course it depends how often you use it.

It is a little sticky. I honestly do not see any difference after using it for 2?weeks.

I've owned mine for probably 5 years (all white), writing on teaspoon and tablespoon is rubbing off (the ones I use most). Also, white will discolor slightly if using for certain spices. I washed with a little bleach but the surface has lost its shine. I got tired of babying them and found a used set of stainless Foleys on eBay. Grandma used them, they are 2-sided and very sturdy.

I haven't used it for that reason. It's not super sticky, but I think your felt might rip if left on for a long time.

The soft silicone ones are fantastic. Keep your ears very clean and you might get 5-6 days of use. I've been using these for over 10 years and no complainants.

I left the pillow out on a table for about 24 hours, turning it once. It still had a little smell to it but that went away quickly.

If you are referring to the little pieces that sometimes stick to your plate, I use tweezers and lift them off. To remove the lining that the cushion grip forms, simply pull it off when you remove your denture.

I have had my cushion for about 3 months now. And it is sat on for 8+ hours a day, and has shown 0 wear so far. Still appears, and feels brand new. I am unsure where was manufactured though. Even if it says made in America, all the materials are going to be coming in from other countries 99.9% of the time.
