  • Extra special sparkle

    I do believe my husband and I are very lucky to own one of these toothbrushes, they are amazing and I don't think I would ever go back to a manual toothbrush after using one of these beauties. If and when I am going to get my children to have electric brush's and I think they clean better and are easier to use. I think they give our teeth that extra special sparkle.

  • Using for at least 1 year now!

    Still using and have used for at least 1 year now and still loving it every day. This Toothbrush has been awesome for my husband and I and we take it every where we go. Whether we are at home or away for the weekend it comes with us!

    I am very impressed about how clean my teeth are and it never ceases to amaze me with the quality it brings. Definitely my number one toothbrush and I know so many more that they would say that its their number one toothbrush as well!

    Still using the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ and still loving it! Our dentist says that the electronic toothbrushes are way better that the manual ones and is really happy that my husband and I are using them. So far I have recommended the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ to about 8 people and about 5 of the 8 have bought this particular toothbrush and is loving the results. They say its well worth the money!

  • End Result!

    With my trial period over and just having a dental appointment, my dentist was happy with the cleanliness of the base of my teeth and the health of my gums, given the poor standard they were the last time I was there. So thank you to Mouth of Mums and the sponsors very much, not only have I enjoyed this trial but you have saved me some 'REAL' money in my future dentistry.

    I never thought I'd feel this way about a tooth brush, I feel in love. As sad as that sounds I really like this toothbrush, I really gives my gums and teeth a good work out and leaves them feeling fresh, clean and more healthier. You can now see the difference in what it has done to my teeth and gums, a better outcome!

  • Birthday present!

    I know what to get my mother-in-law now for her birthday, I have been trialling this product for over a month and both my husband and I love it and we keep bragging about it to my parents who have now bought one and to my other family and friends. My husbands mum can't afford much and I think that this product would get its use out of it if we bought for her birthday and then too she can brag about it.

  • Amazing Charge Life

    So this is my final review of the Phillips Sonicare Flex+ and I have to say it has beena pleasure trialling this product. I will not go back to a "manual" toothbrush and have already gone and bought replacement heads for when needed. I am also very happy to report I have my toothbrush on charge - the second time since starting this review , the first time being when we received the product. That is incredible - and considering it has been used 4 times a day that is a terrific charging capability. I am in love with my Phillips Sonicare Flex+ and I and my mouth/teeth thankyou MoM for giving us the chance to be a part of this amazing trial .

    What else can I say? I love this toothbrush. I love the choice in cleaning modes, I love the fact that it has 2 interchangeable heads (one small, one large), I love the UV Sanitiser, I love how it makes my mouth look and feel. I just love this toothbrush!

  • Still loving it!

    I still love using the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ tooth brush. We went away for a couple of days and took the toothbrushes with us in the carrier. The battery lasted for the 2 nights and the carrier kept our toothbrushes clean and dry. The only thing so far I would improve, and it is merely my personal preference would be to offer toothbrush heads that offer different bristles. I always prefer strong stiff bristles while my wife prefers soft bristles. I did not notice the difference as first. But since using the toothbrush continuously for a few weeks, I find myself wanting harder bristles. However, I will not be going back to my manual toothbrush as I've noticed a cleaner feeling and look to my teeth with continued use.

  • Loving this product

    I have used this product now for nearly 4 weeks and wow have I seen a difference in my teeth. I had an accident when I was young, which made my jaw close a little so my mouth does not open right up. The FlexiCare+ gets right at the back of my mouth where the dentist constantly tell me to brush, the manual toothbrush cannot get there, the FlexiCare+ does. I had a dentist appointment booked as I have to 6monthly, but cancelled it as the FlexiCare+ is getting right at the back. My teeth feel cleaner, and no flossing needed. I love the refreshing button, I use this just before going into meetings and no more mints. Never have I brushed my teeth for 2 minutes until now. Total change in my teeth care..

  • Liking this product very much

    So far this product has really impressed me, as mentioned previously I am not one for fancy but this product is classy. I am getting used to the small head as I am getting positive results, teeth feel so much cleaner than a manual toothbrush. The UV sanitiser I am still getting used to but all positive.

  • Day 7 and wow

    Well this is day 7 of using this amazing product. It MAKES you clean your teeth properly, it cuts out for a short period to remind you that you need to move to next section of your mouth. I have always JUST cleaned my teeth under the 2 min requirement, this amazing product MAKES you stay cleaning for 2 mins.

  • First time using an electric toothbrush

    Hi, thank you for letting my wife and I review this product. I have NEVER used an electric toothbrush before and as it is only day 3 for me using it, it has taken me awhile to get used to it. Not sure yet on the small brush size for a man? So far the toothbrush is working quite well. Will have more in week 2 of using it.

  • First week of using Sonicare Flexi Care+

    Received product yesterday used last night, and this morning all I can say is wow my teeth fee super clean compared to my old manual tooth brush. As it is only the first week and early stages will post more in week 2 but so far very impressed.

    We are a family of 4 and I always worry about hygiene when the toothbrushes are laying around, at least I know mine will be SUPER sterile with the sanitizer, that is really cool. Even the refresh mode makes you feel refreshed...I am off to the dentist next week so we will see what he says...

Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.

Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.

Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.

“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”

Even then, it’s not ideal.

“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”

A New Loaf On The Block

Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.

It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.

“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”

Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.

For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”

“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”

The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved

Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”

Bec says she was impressed too.

“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”

A Simpler Option For Everyday Families

Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.

“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”

It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.

Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.

JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.

Little Changes, Big Difference

 

For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.

“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”

Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.

And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.

JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.

  • It’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening

  • Most breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.

  • We bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.

  • I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

  • Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
    I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

  • I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

  • This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

  • what about gluten is it gluten free thats what i need

  • I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

  • I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it

  • Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

  • This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
