These little beauties help to remove plaque better than floss. You moisten the tips and insert the pointed end between teeth with the flat side next to the gums. You use a gentle-in-and-out motion to clean between the teeth.

My dad got me using these as he loves them and I have to agree. I just found the mint flavored ones and now prefer the mint to the regular flavor. Toothpicks will annoy you after you use these stim-u-dents.

~The Rebecca Review

The item pictured and advertised as a genuine Johnson & Johnson product was not a JNJ product.
Amazon should not advertise it as Johnson & Johnson.
The original product was superior to the product that is being sent to customers who answer the Johnson & Johnson ad.

This product by J&J is esentially a tapered toothpick designed to fit better in-between the teeth than a regular toothpick. It does a fair job of cleaning out food debris and plaque from between the teeth but does not replace flossing as it cannot clean the bacterial film between the contact points of the teeth. It is the contact points where many people get cavities.

The greatest advantage of this method of tooth cleaning is that it is easy to do and it is portable. You can use this product virtually anywhere and it fits in a shirt pocket.

I recommend this product to those folks who like to have a toothpick handy. It does work, but don't thow away your floss!

I specifically ordered these STIMUDENTS because they were advertised as the "Johnson and Johnson" product, but when I received them they were a product made in China by "Revive Personal Products". I'd used this brand before and they tended to break, split, or get soggy. THe exterior packaging and wording are almost identical to the J&J packaging, so they LOOK like the real Stimudents.

This product was formerly produced in the US. It now comes from China and it has a rather nasty aftertaste and collapses easily.

i started using these in the 90's, my mother turned me on to them. they are addictive! i cant eat a meal or even a snack without using one afterwards. my plaque level has decreased significantly since using. they are great! let them moisten in the mouth before picking or they will break. i personnally prefer the non-mint, they used to have orange flavored but im more of a plain type person. try it, you'll like it.

I have been using it for years and years ... I always carry it in my wallot ..can not go out without it....

I am 51 years old. I have been using these for years I cannot remember when I first started. Last year I went in for a checkup and had my teeth cleaned for the first time in close to 30 years. I asked the dental assistant who cleaned my teeth how long ago she thought that they were last cleaned and she said about a year and a half. When I told her when I had it done last she was amazed. I use these every morning and evening and during the day as a toothpick replacement. They are gentle to the gums.
