Colgate Optic White

I received a VoxBox from Influenster.com filled with products to try.  3 of the items in my box were from Colgate.

Here is what I got...a full size bottle of Colgate Optic White mouthwash, a full size tube of Colgate Optic White toothpaste and a Colgate 360 toothbrush.

At first, I was very excited about all 3 of these products.  I really wish I could give you a good review on these products, but I can not. 

The first things I tried were the toothbrush and toothpaste.

The toothpaste was terrible.  I know that toothpaste doesn't always taste great, but this was pretty bad.  I don't even know how good the claims of whitening are.  I couldn't get past the bad taste and only tried it one morning.  It is a bitter taste that sticks with you. 

The toothbrush was less than stellar, as well.  I am sure that some people will really love it because I'm sure that it probably does a great job cleaning your teeth.  It even has a tongue scraper on the backside of the bristles.  What I did not like about it, was that it was very wide.  It felt like it was too big for my mouth. 

Since I had such a bad experience with those two items, I was a little leery of trying the mouthwash.  It actually took me 3 days to get up the nerve to take a swig.  Ugh....it was just as horrible as I imagined it would be.  It pretty much has the same taste as the toothpaste.  I just can't use it.  I think all 3 things will be going in the trash can.

I'm sorry Colgate, I wanted to give you a good review and I was excited about giving the items a try.  I think if it would have tasted better, I would be buying these products when the ones I rec'd ran out. 

These products may taste fine to everyone else, but they did not to me.  I will not be getting them at the store.
