Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The mouthwash itself is great - I love this stuff. This mouthwash in this packaging is terrible. Here's why. 1) Smart Mouth is already expensive. In bottles it's $0.61 per ounce. In the travel packs, it's $2.12 per ounce. So you're paying almost 4 times as much just to get it in the little packets. 2) Each individual packet contains less than half of the normal amount you get from 4 squirts of the stuff in bottles. So although you think you're getting 30 packets, it's 30 half-size (or third-size, really) quantities. I found I needed to use 2 packets per use in order to get the same clean feeling as the bottles. 3) The packets themselves aren't designed well. They are tear-top pouches but the way they tear, usually one side of the pouch doesn't open or it opens a tiny bit, meaning you either have to try again and lose some of the product in the process, or you go to squeeze it out and one side comes flowing out and the other comes out in a tiny jet and sprays on the mirror. 4) Assuming you learn the trick and pull diagonally towards the center of the pouch as you tear it open, the contents don't flow out easily. You have to squeegee them between your fingers to get the contents out - usually spilling some. And there's not much there to begin with which throws off the intended mix ratio. The bottles are more convenient, easier to use, cheaper, etc, etc. Even if you travel just for a few days, you would be using 2 packages at a time (minimum), twice a day. That comes out to $3.40 per day using the packages, whereas you can buy the bottles for $8.24 on Amazon. To SmartMouth - if you want to fleece the customers on the product by charging 350% more, at least make the packaging and usability perfect. You failed on this one.
