Best Breath Fresheners of 2026

"I'm a big fan of these compact strips because they quickly freshen your breath. However, they tend to melt and stick together if left in a hot or humid place, like a car, turning into a single, thick strip. While consuming this large strip might cleanse your entire body, I'd prefer to use them one at a time."

"I decided to try these strips after learning that chewing gum doesn't effectively combat bad breath. I've found them to be very effective. They taste similar to Listerine mouthwash and have a strong mint flavor, which helps eliminate the bad breath I get from eating sandwiches, especially those with pesto, pickles, and beef. I recommend this product for situations where brushing your teeth isn't practical, like when you're at school."

"I've been using these strips for years to combat my frequent dry mouth. Placing one on your tongue instantly stimulates saliva production and freshens your breath. The effects last for several hours, making you feel confident to talk in a crowd. I always keep these strips in my purse and bible bag."

"This product is a must-have for any event or meeting. It effectively cleans any remaining debris from the teeth and moisturizes the gums. I usually chew it for about five to ten minutes on my way to a meeting, or even for a couple of hours. Once I arrive, I dispose of it and feel confident. It's a great finishing touch."

"I suffer from dry mouth, which leads to bad breath. I've been using the toothpaste and mouthwash from the same brand, and recently started using the gum. These products combined have solved my problem. I no longer have dry mouth or bad breath, and there's no strange aftertaste. The only downside is the cost, which is a bit high."

"This gum seems to be effective at tackling bad breath. I haven't had anyone recoil from me yet. I enjoy the crunchy shell, but I've tasted other gums that are more appealing to my palate. This one is a bit too sweet for me, containing Sorbitol, Xylitol, and Stevia extract. However, the taste lasts for a long time, and it doesn't stick to my dental work. I appreciate that it's vegan, which isn't true for all gums. So, while there are both positives and negatives, I believe it's a good product overall."

"I always keep this on my overcrowded keychain. It may look goofy and bulky, but it’s incredibly effective and super convenient. I love my fresh breath, and this little gadget really comes in handy when Listerine strips aren’t an option!"

"Before heading into appointments, my husband and I use this product. I think it’s polite to ensure we don't offend anyone with our breath. It’s a great product that gives us confidence!"

"This Listerine Cool Mint Pocketmist is a total game-changer! It’s compact enough to fit in my pocket, and the spray gives a quick burst of minty freshness. It’s perfect for a quick refresh after meals or coffee—no sticky residue left behind!"

"Whenever I have back-to-back meetings or need to be around people for extended periods, I use these and they truly make a difference. I notice the effects almost right away, even with just one pill, and my breath stays fresh for hours. It's a reliable option for keeping my gut and breath in check."

"I was searching for a solution to my allergy-related bad breath and these capsules have been surprisingly effective. They really help manage my breath in a way that other products can't."

"After a garlic-heavy meal, I took one of these hoping for a miracle. While it did improve my breath noticeably, it wasn't an instant fix and didn't completely eliminate the odor. The effect usually lasts about 4-5 hours for me, and sometimes there's a minty aftertaste or burp. It's still better than mints or gum for deep breath issues, but it's not perfect every time."

"I was searching for a breath freshener that wouldn’t leave that intense, lingering mint aftertaste, and this spray absolutely impressed me. It actually eliminates bad breath at the source, rather than just masking it, and I love that it’s not overly sweet or minty. Eating foods like garlic or onions is no longer an issue for me. The clean feeling it leaves is subtle but effective, and I’m glad it doesn’t hang around in my mouth."

"After trying Chlosys products at my dentist’s office, I became a fan, especially of this spray. It refreshes my breath without overpowering mint, and it really gets rid of strong food odors. I keep one in my purse, car, and as a backup. No need for mints or gum anymore—this spray takes care of everything. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable breath freshener!"

"Living with severe dry mouth due to health conditions, I’ve tried many products—this spray stands out. It’s gentle, effective, and provides long-lasting relief. The taste is mild and pleasant, and it fits easily in my pocket for daily use. It truly helps with dry mouth symptoms and is the best portable solution I’ve found."

"I found this product to be a great value compared to grocery store prices. The minty taste is strong, and I appreciate how easy it is to carry in my pocket for on-the-go freshness."

"As someone who enjoys the Clean Mint flavor by Crest, I was pleasantly surprised by this product. Even my wife liked it and wanted her own! With my habits as a smoker and occasional tobacco user, I feel this has helped my gums and teeth when added to my routine. I just wish there were more Cinnamon flavor options."

"I keep one in my desk drawer for a quick freshen-up before meetings, and another in my handbag for when I can’t brush—like during travel. The fresh minty taste lasts for hours, and I feel it’s a great value compared to other options."

"I always have these on hand because they’re amazingly strong, delicious, and leave no aftertaste. The tiny size packs a punch, making them perfect for quick freshening up before meetings or networking. Several friends of mine have become fans too, though some find them a bit strong. Totally worth trying!"

"These are by far the best mints I've had. The flavor is outstanding and I love how long the freshness lasts. I recently tried the wintergreen version and fell in love with it instantly. You really can’t go wrong with any flavor."

"If you want a super strong and lasting breath mint, this is it. Great flavor and excellent value. I keep them everywhere—in my car, my purse, and at work. The bottle lasts a long time and the mints are always effective."

"Since using this product, I've seen a significant improvement in my gum health and a complete stop to bleeding and pain after brushing. The mint flavor is refreshing and the lozenges are very gentle on my sensitive stomach. I highly recommend these for anyone struggling with oral care, especially if you’ve had difficulties keeping up with dental routines."

"I've tried many dental probiotics, but BioGaia is the only one that noticeably improved my breath and gum condition right away. Despite its lower CFU count, the effectiveness is undeniable, and I no longer worry about bad breath even after wearing a mask. This is a trustworthy product that truly works."

"As someone who has always been meticulous about oral hygiene but still faced gum issues, I found that adding this probiotic made a real difference in my dental health. The tablets are convenient, taste pleasant, and help maintain a healthy oral flora. I appreciate being able to directly support my mouth’s microbiome with this product."

"I always keep these travel-size breath sprays handy in my purse and car for fast, on-the-go freshness. The mint flavor is powerful but not overwhelming, and it works instantly—perfect after meals or coffee when brushing isn't possible."

"This spray is a lifesaver when I need a quick breath refresh at work or while out on a date. It’s so easy to carry in my pocket, and one spritz is all it takes."

"The initial taste is a bit strong and feels slightly bitter for me, but it definitely keeps my breath fresh."

"I've struggled for years with bad breath, dry mouth, and hard-to-clean implant areas. After trying countless products, I started using these chewable tablets every morning and noticed a real improvement within a week. My mouth feels and smells healthier all day, even if the effect isn’t super minty. It’s been worth the investment for me, and I plan to keep buying them."

"This product is a fantastic breath freshener with the bonus of probiotics for oral and digestive health. The refreshing flavor and the fact that it's so easy to use make it a great addition to my daily routine. Highly recommended if you want fresh breath with extra health benefits!"

"I've noticed milder breath and healthier gums since starting these pills. They're not a miracle cure, but they help as a simple support for oral hygiene. The taste is mild, and they’re super easy to take. If you’re looking for a small boost for your mouth, these are worth a try."
