To help clean deep between teeth, Philips Sonicare developed the AirFloss.
If flossing isn’t a regular part of your oral care routine, you’re not reaching the bacteria that can build up between teeth causing plaque, bad breath and infection.
The revolutionary microburst technology delivers a quick burst of air and water to effectively yet gently clean between your teeth in just 60 seconds. Sonicare AirFloss is proven to remove up to 99% more plaque between teeth than brushing with a regular toothbrush alone. [1]
With an ergonomically designed handle for easy use and a slim, angles nozzle to reach all areas of the mouth, you can say goodbye to fuzzy build up between your teeth.
The AirFloss has 2 weeks of battery life, a 2 year warranty and a 28 day money back guarantee, so Philips Sonicare AirFloss will be sure to make you smile.

Hubby and I went to the dentist for our check-ups and hubby was very pleased at his glowing report card from his doc! My dentist's reaction was no less pleasing to me, not because I had improved, but because I had not deteriorated.
As I mentioned in my application to review the airfloss, I take oral hygiene seriously (something my parents instilled in me after their own horrible experiences of poor health) and though I felt pleased with the airfloss myself, I wasn't certain that it was doing just as good a job as manual flossing. I have always had a pretty good report card from my dentist and so I knew that if anything weren't right, he'd make no bones about it. I asked him to note carefully whether he could see a difference in the plaque between the teeth and hetold me flat out that my teeth looked as good as they always had.
This may not sound much, but tome it is very, very impressive. I have professional confirmation that the airfloss is not only saving me time and effort, but it is also doing a great job. With that final tick in every box, I went out and bought my hubby one today.
Thank you MoM for introducing us to this great health care appliance, and thank you Philips for making it!

Well the best test for the airfloss has just been passed with flying colours in my book. Went to the dentist for the 6 monthly check-up and he reckoned he could see the difference between last time and this time. Now I know that I wasn't flossing any more than had done before since my last review with the dentist. The only thing I have done differently was using the airfloss. I think it's made an improvement because I can actually be bothered to do it.
I wasn't sure what to expect when my wife cracked this out for me to try, but I think it's a keeper. I guess that's lucky because my wife already bought another one for me! Cheers for the shot at trying this out. It was well worth it!

I am so astounded at how easy and quick the air floss is. I would always put off flossing for the amount of time it takes and the string always getting caught between my teeth and almost shredding. But not with the air floss, it's so powerful at getting those bits left over out that I never knew were hiding.

My wife and I share one Sonicare Airfloss I had go go back to using floss as I am on a business trip at the moment. It is a very weird feeling having to floss again as I've got used to the great results and how easy and hygienic is using Sonicare. I probably will have to get one myself that when I am traveling I can take it with me. It would be great if it was a bit cheaper. Overall fantastic!

Wow!!! The AirFloss is easy to use. & amazingly effective
I am going to eat steak for the first time in a very long time as I always get meat stuck whether I floss or not. The AirFloss is awesome. It is simple to assemble, easy to use & very efficient at flossing. I have never been able to floss my whole mouth in 2 minutes, it's usually half an hour if I haven't given up by then.
The only thing I would mention to a first time user is when you use it in front of the mirror the first time as you can't wait to see how it works - be prepared to clean that mirror. I will be flossing in the shower from now on, no big deal

Talk about a life saver.... Or should I say teeth saver? As a grown man with braces it has been hard to keep my braces clean & free from stains, & flossing.. Well that just impossible. But now I can get between the teeth aswell as it's great to whip over the band itself incase anything small gets lodged between the bracket and tooth.

When I first started using the air floss 2x weeks ago, my gums used to bleed a little as I'm not much of a flosses due to the time it takes. Now they don't bleed at all, which is proof in the pudding that there was a little gingivitis there. And now there's not.

After using the Sonicare Airflloss I won't use any other product to floss my teeth. It is very easy and convenient way to clean your teeth. I am very happy with it.

Still using the airfloss with mouthwash and I think it definitely works as well as normal flossing. My mouth feels cleaner than it did before and I think my breath is fresher. I think it might be because I use the airfloss a couple of times a day because it's easier. With old floss, sometimes I couldn't be bothered. I have a dentist checkup on Saturday so we'll see what he thinks of the outcome!

....but now it's true love! So I have to admit that the initial fun of playing with the Airfloss has waned and now I can review it with a calmer outlook. The reality for me is, that this is still a fantastic product. Even when you take the excitement out of having a new toy, you really do still have a great oral hygiene product. The only reason I can't say it is the best dental product I've ever used is because I love my electric toothbrush just a smidgen more. The airfloss has become a normal part of my daily routine. It's faster and tidier than floss alone and I wouldn't be without it now.

My husband and I are not big fans of flossing our teeth daily, that is, until we got an Air floss!! What a brilliant invention!! So quick and easy to use. I like that it can be filled with water or mouthwash. Just be careful to lean over the sink as it can get a little messy and the first few times your gums may bleed but that eases up. I highly recommend this product to anyone who finds normal flossing a chore.
So this is my fourth and final review. Yes - its a great product. It does the job its supposed to do. Simple, easy and effective. The more you use it the better and easier it gets. My mouth feels much better for the experience. Enjoy the easiness of a clean, fresh, healthy smile.

Been using it for some time now and I'm finding that the more I use it the better I get at it. Lol. It's still messy but that's something you have to accept. I find it's best to use before I've put my make up on as the splashes tend to run my make up.

After using the AirFloss i won't be going back to regular floss. I found the AirFloss to be quick, easy to use and so much easier than spending half an hour in the bathroom mirror trying to use regular floss. The battery life is fantastic only needing to charge once a fortnight, awesome.

If I was judging it just on my top teeth - yes, it works. However my bottom teeth is another story. I had braces when I was a teen and I have a permanent braces bar at the back of my bottom teeth. It is very difficult to use this product with as it pretty much sprays the water back in your face. Hubby is very happy though as he now gets to use it solo (no more changing heads).

Ok so in my last review I'd stopped using for a while as I admit it, I'm lazy. I then had a good look in the mirror (at my teeth that is) and noticed the little bits of gunk that my toothbrush just wasn't reaching were beginning to creep back. Time to pick up the air-flosser again. Honestly this is the equivalent of Batman's utility belt for teeth. My teeth and gums are looking great again and I can smile with confidence. Great product. Listen in for my final installment in (roughly) a weeks time.

Oh I admit it, I got a little too busy and tired and lazy at nights and ended up skipping the air floss for about a week. Not because it takes a long time as it is super quick but just because I couldn't be bothered. I found with brushing alone I still wasn't getting in between all the nooks and crannies and after a week I could tell I desperately needed the air floss. You wouldn't think a bit of air and water would do such a great job but it really does. After a week of using the air floss again my teeth are sparkly on the fronts and in between the gaps :)

I found the chamber which hold the water a bit small although it adequately cleans the teeth in once every night to do a one full rotational clean of the teeth. If a second round is required then the chamber will need to be refilled .The Phillip air floss will not remove any pieces of food that are stuck fast in the narrow gaps between the teeth. I still need to use the traditional dental floss to remove these foods.
I find the machine quite useful to keep up with the recommended daily flossing as the machine is easy to use and convenient.

When I go to my bathroom to brush my teeth every morning and night , and I see my Phillips Airfloss sitting there on the bench it immediately reminds me to floss. Most times I tend to forget flossing but the airfloss just sitting there how can I forget to floss.
So overall I think this machine encourages me to floss. since I got it I have flossed almost everyday and I feel good about it as i am looking after my oral hygiene.

I found the Philip air floss is a very well designed machine. I found it to be a unique product which helps to keep the teeth clean by flossing.I found it to be a very easy hand held machine to help with keeping the area between the teeth clean. the machine is well designed to help reach all the teeth easily.the nozzle on the top is designed to fit in the cavity between the teeth and direct the air and water flow between the the teeth. The machine uses a combination of water and air to flush out the food debris from the teeth. the pressure is not to strong and just adequate to do the job.
The battery in the machine is quite good as I have only charged it once overnight and have been using it for over two weeks with out the need to charge again. The performance of the machine has not deteriorated in any way since.The machine fits in very nice in the hand and is easy to hold and use.

After using the Airfloss for a month I do find it easy to use compared to regular floss but am not convinced that it does a proper clean especially in the hard to reach places. I tried replacing the water with mouth wash and found that it was a good substitute. I probably wouldn't normally buy the Airfloss so was happy for the opportunity to try the product without having to buy it.
Thank you.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad

That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

As I mentioned in my application to review the airfloss, I take oral hygiene seriously (something my parents instilled in me after their own horrible experiences of poor health) and though I felt pleased with the airfloss myself, I wasn't certain that it was doing just as good a job as manual flossing. I have always had a pretty good report card from my dentist and so I knew that if anything weren't right, he'd make no bones about it. I asked him to note carefully whether he could see a difference in the plaque between the teeth and hetold me flat out that my teeth looked as good as they always had.
This may not sound much, but tome it is very, very impressive. I have professional confirmation that the airfloss is not only saving me time and effort, but it is also doing a great job. With that final tick in every box, I went out and bought my hubby one today.
Thank you MoM for introducing us to this great health care appliance, and thank you Philips for making it!

Full marks for me
I wasn't sure what to expect when my wife cracked this out for me to try, but I think it's a keeper. I guess that's lucky because my wife already bought another one for me! Cheers for the shot at trying this out. It was well worth it!

Wow!!! The AirFloss is easy to use. & amazingly effective
The only thing I would mention to a first time user is when you use it in front of the mirror the first time as you can't wait to see how it works - be prepared to clean that mirror. I will be flossing in the shower from now on, no big deal

The battery in the machine is quite good as I have only charged it once overnight and have been using it for over two weeks with out the need to charge again. The performance of the machine has not deteriorated in any way since.The machine fits in very nice in the hand and is easy to hold and use.
