O. Manning –
I’m going to make this review a long one because of all the ridiculous 1-star reviews I read. I find it hard to believe that this stuff lasted “2 hours” in someone’s mouth without them possessing some sort of supernatural zombie-saliva. This stuff is absolutely fantastic.
First, I’ve been wearing dentures for over 6 years. Until recently I had a full upper and partial (two “anchor” teeth) lower. I have tried (literally) every available cream, powder, or pad available. I’ve stayed with Sea-Bond pads the last few years because they were gentle on my gums and this is because they helped really “wedge” the plates in and allowed for some forgiveness in fit.
I recently parted ways with my two “anchor teeth” and found that the Sea Bond pads, while continuing to work fine for the uppers, just didn’t do it for me on the lowers. I decided I’d give my previously used creams another shot.
I found the best grip with Effergrip followed by Fixodent (food) and finally, Poligrip. Fixodent seemed to work better with Effergrip when eating things like soups and chowders, but tougher foods were best handled with the Effergrip. It still didn’t seem to be enough and I kept losing grip with the lower denture in a very short period unless I put so much on them that I had that feeling like I’d given my mouth a shot of anti-perspirant.
Then, a friend in Europe recommended a product to me called “Fittydent”. Through some research, I found that “Fittydent” (available on Amazon and about twice as expensive as “Secure”) is distributed by a company called Bioforce as “SECURE”.
I ordered the cream and a set of lower denture cushions (because I’m used to using Sea-Bond).
I tried it following the directions exactly (using three small ribbons on the bottom and four on top). The instructions describe “biting firmly” and then “waiting at least fifteen minutes before eating”. Done.
I was absolutely amazed. It felt like I had real teeth. For the first time in years (every year I’ve worn dentures, in fact) I felt completely secure eating. The dentures didn’t budge. This is especially noteworthy because I’m due a re-line and my lower denture is actually getting pretty loose (gums healing).
Yes, I felt the “burning sensation”. Fortunately, I can read and understand what “non-toxic” means. I also tried the trick (described in the instructions) of spreading it out and letting it set 30 seconds before trying them. It still tingled a bit but the sensation does go away within (guess?) about fifteen minutes. From that point forward, they’re in like they’re bolted.
My only concern was cleaning the dentures (and my MOUTH!) considering the instructions to use something with a pH “greater than 9”. Freakout, right?! Nope. Baking Soda has a pH of 9. Milk of Magnesia has a pH of 10 (higher pH is the opposite of acidic for those who aren’t familiar). Baking soda cleaned my dentures perfectly and a little bit on a washcloth with warm water cleaned my mouth completely.
This stuff is amazing. Follow the directions. Don’t be afraid of a little tingle. I ate corn-on-the-cob for the first time in 15 years today. If the “tingle” really, really, scares you, they have a version for “sensitive gums”. I haven’t tried it only because I’m so happy with the way the basic version of SECURE works I’m afraid of taking a step backward.
I have also tried the denture cushions. They work equally fantastic and are easier to use than the creams, so I now go with the cushion on the bottom and the cream on the top. I take my dentures out every night, clean them, clean my mouth very well, and put the dentures back in (I was taught to do this by a somewhat unusual dentist when I had my first set made as an aid to healing and it has worked well for me since).
On a recent trip I was forced to go without my ritual for one night and had great hold for about 40 hours. I still had to pull them out.
Give it a shot. I hope everyone who tries is as amazed (and fortunate) as I have been.

update they did refund my money
i also had ordered this directly from the company because their hype was so flamboyant –i’ve since emailed them twice about how crappy this junk is & for info to return/refund & of course ZERO RESPONSE FROM THEM—nor can i return what i got on amazon which i didn’t realize BUT i’ll admit i wasn’t worried because i was so sure the company was telling the truth & i woukd be able tomuse this—WRONG.
also the reviews on their website are also hype–they have to be there is NO WAY every person would give this pile of slimy junk 5 stars–i wrote a review there too which is “pending approval” haha so i’m sure it will not get posted. “waterproof” does not mean it melts immediately into slime that tastes and feels disgusting etc etc
it’s supposed to be water proof & not dissolve but i’m sitting her with it melting & sliming all in my mouth. maybe a tiny bit less than most others (?) but it’s still doing it. the part where it says if it’s holding “too tight” just leave it in til morning …um…i think there’s no danger of that cuz it’s already loose after 30 min. i’ll try to work with it more because i have no choice. i have this denture because i got an all on 4 implant for $18,000 that ended up infected …& the dentist denied all that & about killed (literally/sepsis etc) me but that’s another very long story…(i did get a full refund but am still in the hole d/t ending up in the ED x2 then admitted to the hospital & with a central line & 6 weeks vancomycin etc etc that was not free ) …anyway i have this piece of crap denture he made that i plan/hope is temporary because i plan to go ELSEWHERE for the implant later but my mouth has to heal at least 6months first. so i’m stuck with this denture for now. i think basically all the adhesive is just going to be crap…& slimy & disgusting. & tastes horrible & gross. it seems someone could improve on it at some point but …i guess not yet. 🙁
