Secure Waterproof Denture Adhesive - Zinc Free - Extra Strong 12 Hour Hold - 1.4 oz (Pack of 2)

Zinc free was the 1st reason for trying this product. I use zinc at times as an immune builder to thwart off colds etc. and for other things on a case by case basis. Next biggie is it's waterproof composition for the other few trials I find water does affect bond hold in other products. I find no fault with hold with this product. The hold seems more secure with this formula. The consistency to me is easy to mold in my dentures(full upper, partial lower) with large gaps. Can build for good gap filling and good hold. This just takes trying different amounts and learning how to custom fit your teeth. Seals out foreign substances pretty well. The best part of this product is the relative ease of cleanup of the goopity goop that left in my mouth after I remove my dentures. With the other two I've tried it seems as though I have to scrape hard and long to remove the goo from my tongue and inside of my mouth. With secure the goo is there but if I let it sit a bit it seems to skin over and has the consistency and texture more like bubble gum that I can then roll into balls or pull into threads and because it sticks well to itself its looses some of that goopity goop texture and becomes more manageable to remove without heavy scrapping just ball it or pull threads and place on a napkin. It's a decent product at a fair price that seems to be easy to use for me. This product suits me fine and hopefully I don't need to try alot of other products. I hope that this helps some of you with denture fitting needs. Their's a lady on YouTube that tries many different products and gives her own points of view to different products that may help you find good products that fit you. I find that the hold with secure is best if you apply to dentures set them down and let them rest and skin over abit place in mouth bite down with steady pressure. If I want the best hold I just keep steady pressure denture to denture for ten minutes or so. And lastly eating sugar seems to break down the bond quickly with the 3 products I've tried. Thanks for the read.

Since acquiring dentures a few years ago, I have gone thru the all to familiar frustration, who anyone that also has dentures can relate to, of trying to find an adhesive that checks all the important boxes. When I put the adhesive paste on my dentures, put them in my mouth, and bite down, they have the habit of sometimes oozing or squeezing out and getting inside your mouth which is frustrating for multiple reasons. You then have to use a paper towel or something else to wipe off any excess that has become visible on the outside of the dentures, not to mention having to taste the paste, which let's be honest, is not the best flavor. And if you have adhesive paste thats pink for example, like Fixodent's popular brands, then you end up having to spit out the excess as well that has mixed with your saliva, which is weird in itself. This of course doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes depending on if I maybe just put a little too much on, or on an area too close to the ends, it happens. For this reason I made a switch to another popular brand that's white/clear in color, which at least prevents me from having pink saliva if a little squeezes out. Next we have the issue of it being strong enough to hold everything in place. Id say the extra strength Fixodent brand is probably the strongest up till this point. But the other big thing that I know I'm not the only person who experiences this, is the frustration of having to wait nearly 45mins to an hour for the denture adhesive to set. In the mean time you can't eat anything and you also might have to keep adjusting the dentures a little because until it sets, the dentures can slide around a bit. This for me, is probably the thing I hate the most. If I'm leaving into town, or meeting someone, I have to remember to apply my denture adhesive, amd put my dentures in my mouth over am hour before I meet someone just to be safe, and I've always been annoyed why denture adhesive takes so long to set. Enter Secure denture adhesive. Naturally I've been doing a ton of research online to try and read reviews and online posts to try and find other people that share my same issues, amd if they found any solution. I ended up coming across some YouTube videos discussing Secure denture adhesive, which until that day I never even knew existed, because its not available in regular grocery store for some reason. At least not any that I've been to, amd I've checked a lot. The lady in the YouTube video stated that not only did she find Secure denture adhesive to be as strong if not stronger than any other locally available options, but I was delighted to hear her mention that she too was frustrated by how long it takes for other adhesives to dry, and that the Secure product dries significantly faster, in part because its not water soluble, so it isn't affecting by saliva and the natural wetness in your mouth like other products. This was enough for me to order my first tube of it, which arrived earlier today. Not only was the product white/clear (not pink) which was a plus for me, but u was shocked how fast it set after I put them in and bit down for a fee minutes. I'd say that the best circumstance for the other products were around 45 mins to as much as an hour so it to fully set. This product was rock solid after like 15 mins. No sliding around, no re-adjusting, etc. The only thing I'd say I was a bit surprised about that wasn't on the positive side was the size of the tube for how much it was. But then again, because of its strength (which in my opinion is that its stronger than Fixident or any other brands by a good amount) you don't need to use as much, which I guess would technically make it last about as long as the other brands because of having to use more, or re-apply because its still sliding around. So all in all, I couldn't be happier with this product. I was honestly starting to lose hope that I'd never find something that did what I wanted it to do, but thanks to research and YouTube, I was lucky to find out about this product. Its 5 out of 5 stars for me, and I will definitely be making this my new everyday adhesive. So if your picky like me, or have any of the same issues as I described, I'd highly recommend you try this product. You won't be dissatisfied, as its the best adhesive I've ever found 👍🏻

I’m new to the denture game and have been trying many products including the brand new poligrip ultimate, which is ultimately garbage (didn’t even hold for 45 minutes, but that’s a different story). Secure is awesome, it holds all day long and into the next day. I love the fact that this adhesive is the only one that absorbs saliva and expands to fill in the gaps. The only complaint I have about secure is that eating anything oily will break the bond. Mine pop loose every time I eat a Twinkie, Twinkie's are really oily and will kill the adhesion. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this because the instructions even say for removal swish vegetable oil in your mouth. Problem with that is most foods have oil in them. Definitely don’t go to the fair and order anything deep fried to eat. What I find that really helps is sprinkling some polident powder over top of the secure. The poli isn’t affected by the oil and gives you a backup adhesion, but the poli by itself doesn’t last long at least not for me. (I’m still in the first several months of healing) powder is good when the dentures are tight, my gums are still quickly changing so I have gaps between the denture and the gums and the secure fills those gaps. I’d really love to see secure make a powder. Another downside is the secure can be difficult to remove from the denture, so if you’re out and about and your denture pops off, you’re out of luck. It takes me several minutes of scrubbing to get the secure off with my denture brush and Dawn. Who carries all this stuff around with them? That said, I also have a soft reline and secure works best with a hard reline according to their FAQ. Silicone which is what a soft reline is, is not adhesive friendly but secure latches on fairly well. I don’t believe I will ever find a better product.
