SIMPLY Gum | Dental Gum | Sugar Free Xylitol Chewing Gum | Bubblegum | Pack of Six (90 Pieces Total) | Synthetic Plastic Free + Sugar Free + Aspartame Free

I looked and looked for gum that doesn't have plastics, sugar, natural flavors, and other questionable ingredients, and finally found this gum. We've bought it twice, and are very pleased with it. I agree that compared to conventional gum it's not as smooth, velvety, and stretchy after it's been chewed for a while, but I'm okay with it as long as the ingredients are wholesome. Actually it's not as bad as some reviewers state it is. It's true, the flavor doesn't stay there forever, but if the gum is made using real food flavors, I'm more than thrilled with it. I have peace of mind knowing that when my children chew this gum, so-called 'natural flavors' do not damage their brains. And I haven't noticed it fall apart as some reviewers said. I was on a verge to start making my own gum, but I'm so thankful I found the healthy version.

I've been trying a variety of chewing gums without plastic. Most don't hold their flavor, but this one is worse since it's it's initial flavor is NASTY!!! Not sure how I'll make it through all the boxes in this pack.

Simply Gum Bubble Gum is hard at first, but then softens up within seconds. Since it’s bubble gum flavored, the flavor isn’t strong, but I like the texture. It blows good bubbles too. The package the gum comes in is really good, it stays closed so gum doesn’t fall out into my purse. Also, it’s much healthier than other sugar free gum. I will by it again.

I bought this as a healthier alternative to double bubble for my child. Unfortunately, it was a fail as she got it in her hair quickly and it is much stickier than double bubble. I tried it also and the flavor is very mild and fades quickly. I’m not a huge gum chewer but between the flavor and the ultra softness, as in feeling like I’d need more than two pieces to really have texture to chew, I can’t stand chewing it more than just a few minutes before spitting it out. I could probably handle the flavor of it had more texture but also realize that I chose this based on the dental health factors not longevity. So, to freshen breath and do a midday clean, yes it works satisfactorily. Happy gumming.

One of the common complaints about the more natural, plastic-free chewing gums is that they don't hold their flavor and that the gum doesn't have a good mouthfeel. Many natural gums are criticized as being too hard and difficult to chew or too soft so that the gum sticks to the user's teeth. That is, unfortunately, the reality of the more natural, plastic-free chewing gums. However, I would much rather have an imperfect natural chewing gum than chew on a plastic filled gum that increases my exposure to unhealthy chemicals. Also, it is some of the unhealthy chemicals in regular plastic gums that make the flavor last longer, also. I think the best way to rate this product is by comparing it to other similar gums, rather than comparing it to the plastic gums, as they are completely different kinds of products. This gum is not perfect. The flavor is not super long lasting. The bubblegum flavor is not what I expected, but it still tastes good. The important point, though, is that it is a healthier, plastic-free product and it is one of the better options out there for plastic-free gum. The flavors aren't long lasting, but they do taste good. And the gum isn't unpleasant when it loses its flavor. I sometimes chew it well after the flavor has gone. My biggest complaint about this particular gum is the texture. As I am chewing it, the product sticks to my teeth slightly. This brand of gum is a good pick for a healthier and more natural chewing gum. However, I have found other types that I prefer.

Clean ingredients and taste great.

Clean ingredients, just what I was looking for. It doesn’t chew exactly like a traditional sugar free gum, but considering I used to be a diehard “Peppermint 5 gum” fan, this product was a satisfactory replacement. It takes literally one second to chew through the stiffer than normal texture, and I would also say that it does seem to lose sweetness/flavor sooner than a traditional plastic based gum, but the texture is a really nice chew once you get it going. It actually doesn’t bother me to basically have lost flavor after like a half an hour. The chewing is more second nature at that point. Keeps my brain busy! It’s a worthy trade-off for me to not be getting a dose of micro plastics, and gut disrupting artificial sweeteners. Nothing like that in this product.

It does stick to your dentues
