Disclosure: I received these products for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use these products and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of these products.

I am always ready to try healthy products, so I was excited to try the Xlear and Spry nasal and dental line. These products contain xylitol which is new to me so here is some info.

The benefits of xylitol

The addition of xylitol to saline nasal sprays, neti pots, and positive pressure bottles has been shown to make them more effective at helping to prevent ear infections in children, sinus infections in adults, and asthma and allergies in people of all ages. Xylitol helps the body’s natural cleansing process to clear away allergens, asthmatic triggers and other harmful bacteria. Xylitol is also one of the newest, easiest and tastiest ways that people can improve oral health. Research done in widely different conditions confirms that xylitol use may reduce tooth decay.

After trying these products containing xylitol I have to admit that I like almost all of them. The only thing I didn't like was the bamboo toothbrush. It tasted weird like wood since it is made of bamboo and I didn't feel like it was as flexible as a regular toothbrush. Toothbrush aside, I love the other products.

I tried the Xlear nasal spray which is safe for kids and adults. One of my boys tried it and didn't complain so I'll take that as a "thumbs up" (a good rating from the boys). I have had allergies for as long as I can remember. I used to get an allergy shot every Friday. I even had sinus surgery about 12 years ago because I had so many sinus infections in one year and after further investigation I learned I had polyps which had to be removed. Over the years I have been prescribed many nasal inhalers and I have never liked the way they made me feel so I never used them. I actually like using Xlear nasal spray. It just feels clean and refreshing and I don't get a headache after using it. And since "Xylitol helps the body’s natural cleansing process to clear away allergens, asthmatic triggers and other harmful bacteria" I plan to keep using it.

Just the facts about Xlear Nasal Spray

• Xlear is a soothing nasal spray that helps to alleviate congestion due to allergies, cold, flu, and sinusitis. It does this by being much more hyperosmotic than a traditional saline nasal spray and also by incorporating xylitol, a natural product that has been shown to decrease bacterial adherence in the nose.

• When used twice a day, Xlear nasal spray not only hydrates the sinuses and nasal passages but it also helps to wash away airborne contaminants and pollutants that lead to many common upper respiratory problems.

• Unlike many prescription or medicated sprays with unwanted side effects, daily usage of Xlear Nasal Spray is non-addictive and will not damage tissues.

• One 1.5 oz. container of Xlear Nasal Spray retails for $14.99 and will last 2-3 months with daily use.

• The Xlear Nasal Spray Economy Pack contains three .75 oz. squeeze bottles and retails for $18.99.

I have been using Spry toothpaste with Xylitol for about a month now and am pleased with the results so far. It is thicker than most toothpastes, but goes onto the toothbrush easily. I like the flavor and it seems to be doing a nice job cleaning my teeth so I would continue to use this product.

Spry Oral Rinse with Xylitol is actually one of my favorite products. It has a refreshing mild minty flavor and doesn't leave a burning chemical feeling in my mouth like so many mouthwashes do.
