I also had used cushion grip for years and it was wonderful. I wish I had the means to start a company that would make a similar product as I believe it would help a lot of people.

I went looking on Merck website and after a small run around, found a number that we NEED to bombard with calls. That is how a company figures out that its product is needed. I am 58 and have had FULL false teeth since I was 25. This product was a godsend for me to get back to eating again. I used everything on the market years past, to hold them. Then I found cushion grip!!! I TOLD EVERYONE about it and even bought the first tube for many. I promise I have sold many thousands of tubes!!! I will CALL that company EVERY WEEK for the next YEAR or more, until they bring it back! If you really want it back, I suggest you and your family and friends do the same. WE are the ones that can get that product back on store shelves soon if we pull together, so I ask you all, how important is it to you? The squeaky wheel gets the grease!!! Their number is 1-800-317-2165 m-f, 8a-5p CST. I and my LARGE family will take this fight to their doorsteps today!! Please join me to get cushion back to us!

$300 & up. There is another product out there called "prosoft" Works alot like cushion grip. Stays soft. It has a terrible taste to it. Says you can soak it in baking soda for 30 min. NOT ! Doesn't make food taste very good. IT IS NOT CUSHION GRIP !!!! I swore by cushion grip and also told everyone about it. Sure saved my mouth from alot of pain.
I wish they'd bring it back !

How to contact Bayer:
https://www.facebook.com/healthcare.bayer
https://twitter.com/BayerHealthCare
Bayer OTC Dept: (412) 777-2000
As far as WHY Amazon and Ebay have Cushion Grip is because there are some very savvy sellers on Amazon and Ebay, who buy up products that are being discontinued in order to resell it to others at a massive profit. They are called "Profiteers". The scarcity of the product is often attributed to their buying huge amounts of the product off shelves in stores. They also spend time finding out what products are being discontinued and then buy up a company's leftover stock or go to stores and buy it all off the shelf.So it isn't that "Amazon and Ebay getting it" from some mysterious manufacturer, it's because the Profiteers are doing what they do to make lots of money. And sadly for those who are forced to buy from them it is terrible. But as far as I know, it's not illegal for a private party to charge whatever they want for a product. In this case they have no competition so they don't need to keep prices down. If someone wants something bad enough they will pay whatever it takes.
Not sure any Attorney General would get involved since it's pretty small potatoes involved. But Ebay does make a profit on higher prices so maybe that would be an issue, but I doubt it since people sell pieces of toast that resemble religious figures on eBay for insane prices too. I think "buyer beware" is the standard rule on eBay and Amazon.

And we have been using the name over and over already on here, but best to do what you feel comfortable with. It's just a matter of getting the Cushion Grip people on here to go there, instead.

I'm not sure why your email bounced back. I just sent an email to the address and didn't have any problems.
As for the price, I just realized that it was drastically increased as well. Perhaps she found that she needed to increase the price due to her cost?!?
Hopefully she will get my email and post about the price.

A few of us on a different denture site were even thinking of trying to manufacture it ourselves--getting funds from the public through kickstarter. Someone else had the good suggestion of going on Shark Tank TV Show to try to get backing to manufacture it again. We don't know what the patent situation and the formula but we're definitely investigating.
BTW, fixodent is the only denture cream I use--unfortunately it doesn't secure my denture in my mouth for more than a few hours--have to reapply later if I eat again!

Cushion Grip is the only product that I found works.
I have tried "denture reline-it by dentists on call" And a couple of other products that have claimed to be like cushion grip... The smell alone is enough to make you sick. They smell like a paint shop that left a bottle of turpentine open.
the taste was even worse.
SO I to am back to having no lowers to enjoy that good steak.
What will it take to get cushion grip back on the market ?
We have been complaining for a long time. I keep seeing that it has been sent to the product team... well................

Some people mistakenly think this forum is connected to Bayer but it is NOT. We need to find theirs and bombard it. Please dig deep to find one so we can hit it up.

If everyone emails them and puts Cushion Grip in the subject line, perhaps we can get somewhere.
Mark it on your calendar and email them weekly.

I purchased some from www.amazon.com but I got my first tube from http://www.securedenture.com/
Check both places for prices. It is sometimes cheaper on Amazon but they run sales on their site sometimes as well.
If you Google (or are looking on Amazon) just type in Secure Denture Adhesive. You will see that it claims that it is sold at Walmart, CVS, as well as other stores unfortunately the Walmart in my area doesn't carry it and I don't think there are any CVS stores any where near where I live.
Just so you know, I haven't run our of my first tube yet, I just ordered a tube of the sensitive. I am a big fan of the strips for my lowers as I have a small mouth and I like their cleaning tabs - you only need half a tab and it lifts the stuff right off.
Just remember to NOT rinse any gobs down the drain. It isn't water soluble so it may cause clogs.
You may discover that you won't need it at all once you get more accustomed to Jenn's product. I'm using the Secure right now because they REALLY screwed up my dentures when they did the hard reline. The dentist took them around and was showing everone. She said she had never seen that happen. I guess the mold shifted or got twisted before they were cured. That was the Thursday before Christmas, the office was then closed for 2 weeks and I had surgery on the 6th. Lucky me, when I went in on the 5th it just so happened that the lab tech that screwed up my teeth and another lab tech were either terminated or quit. Either way, until this coming Wednesday I have no choice but to "Super Glue" (aka Secure ) my teeth in as best as I can.
Good luck and make sure you watch YouTube videos about how to apply Secure!

- Ok people. STOP! This petty garbage that is coming across here has got to end. This forum is to inform and help each other, NOT what is going on now! Community powered support for DentureLiving!!!!! Nowhere does it say that we are to pick on others because we don't like what they say, we ALL have the right to pass by or drop what we don't believe is correct! Just because you are friends with someone does not make it right to talk bad about anything anyone else says. It is about INFOMATION ONLY!!!
-
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS PETTY BACKBITTING IS HELPING ANYONE? ALL it is doing is chasing away others that just find us AND who may have great info that would help most of us. THIS is NOT about who got their feeling hurt from something someone said!!!! THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS KIND OF CRAP!!!!!! If you are unhappy here, PLEASE leave so the rest of us can get help that we came here for. Grow up!!!!
If you jump on me for this post, it just shows what I am talking about! Last time I looked, this IS on the NET for anyone to become a member, American or NOT!!
STOP!

Has it gotten out of hand? Absolutely! Which is why you will find that I have stated I will no longer acknowledge any posts from him.
I am a grown woman with the right to freedom of speech and yet I simply repeated questions that continue to go unanswered. My comment about opinions and butt holes? A result of a very tiresome fight for information.

Thank you to all who have helped me and I am happy to have helped some of you!
If there are so many people that would rather sit back and watch while others attempt to bully away the true, honest people that actually DO answer questions instead of trying to baffle with BS, like 'ERIC' does then this is not where I want to be!
I've enjoyed making new friends and plan to keep in touch with them.

And Sharon, if you are calling me racist, a bigot and anything other than a CIVIL PATRIOTIC WOMAN. maybe you should know something /ANYTHING about me before you make these statements!
Why don't you re-read my posts and then email me what I have said that allows you to judge me!
I'm not done going through my emails yet, so Iay not be done. But when they are gone, don't worry, I will be too! I will be looking for your email though, letting me know just exactly how I'm a racist!

Other people have mentioned other products on here, without a similar response, and I am curious why that is.
Alicia, if you are offended by my comment then I am sorry for that and hope you will accept my apology, as nothing I said was intentionally directed toward you, personally.
Best regards and good luck to you and everyone on here, in your search for pain free dentures.

I have asked these questions til I was blue in the face and STILL DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS.
When he began attacking my friend, nagging her for information that would not affect his health, that's when I started taking offense, and yet I continued to bite my tongue and ask the same questions. It was when I posted that I would be ignoring him, the way he seemed to be treating me, that it hit the fan. My post about butt holes and opinions is no different than him posting his little Latin phrases. However, while I agreed with his Latin phrase, my statement was net with a link to a bidet. I kept my cool and took the high road.
Anyone is welcome to email me.

For example, Crayola crayons are non toxic, but they probably shouldn't be consumed.
Just my 2 cents worth, bit I would like to see FDA APPROVED on it

If you don't want to buy it, don't. But these dispariging remarks about her an what she is doing are unnecessary!
Instead of constantly complaining, she is doing something to try to help.
She has been sending out samples FREE OF CHARGE and is including free shipping all over the world. The increase in price is to help offset those costs. Twenty dollars a tube is FAR from the over inflated prices you are seeing on Amazon and eBay!
Thank you Jenn for your continued efforts to help out with a much needed prodict! Especially when you are being met by so many negative responses.
If everyone would just read this entire thread and took note on the support that others received when they mention trying to produce a similar produvt, they might humble themselves enough to thank you as well!
P.s. another reason hee price is higher is that she doesn't have a corporation back her up.

I'm going to find the thread that someone else was stating that she was going to attempt to make a similar product and see if any of the people that are complaining about Jenn's product were supporting the other woman. I'm curious if there are any hypocrites on here.
Have any of you bothered to get to know Jenn? I have. I won't think twice of trying this product. Heck, I wouldn't think twice of going to her house for dinner!
I guess it's easier to complain about not having a product than it is to try something different.
Sharon
Every single post on here has been someone begging for a replacement to CG. Jenna has done what no one else has and is trying to get a product similar like CG out to those of us who want it. Her price is not outrageous or out of line with what we should expect. I am certainly willing to pay that price.
I mentioned that her website (at the time I went there) wasn't secure enough for CC payments. She kindly responded to me that she is/was working on getting her site to be secure with SSL and did have Paypal.
I didn't request a free sample, so am depending on those who have to give us the skinny on whether it works :). If all testing turns out ok I will definitely be ordering Jenn's new product.
Jenna needs our support and thanks, NOT negative criticism.
AliciaP
And to squash any theories that I know Jenn from somewhere other than this site - I do NOT. I just click with certain people and we become friends!
Charlene Moore Settles Mathes
Goal is there is to have one of the universities to analyze what is in the Product & to make sure it is completely safe for all of us to use this could be a great great thing to put those gouging Companies on eBay and Amazon in their place charging hundreds of dollar!
Even at $20-$25 this place that is now selling comfort line will make money I'm good with those prices of the longest everything in the ingredients is not harmful that is the only question now many universities welcome these Chyna chances for their students to investigate
AliciaP
Have you personally emailed Jemn and asked her directly?
I really am trying to be helpful!
Charlene Moore Settles Mathes
She definitely will be a godsend if this all works out for us !! I am all for stopping those gouging prices
I have been emailing the Bayer company four months now we have over 200 people signing that petition I just sent that to them again today I wish this gal all the luck in the world we do need her I just need to know I'll be ingredients it says on the website it's natural ingredients
I was just telling someone on the Facebook site that I was watching QVC and I fell for that hair product and ordered $40 worth of it then I'll be darned if soon as I ordered it I tried to cancel it because on NBC last night they're talking about the lawsuit that is making people bald stuff like this is what makes a skeptical
AliciaP
I completely understand when it comes to allergies!
I hope everything works out for you!
Charlene Moore Settles Mathes
Only concern is that the product is safe I will find out trust me
AliciaP
Prior to disability I also spent ten years working in health and life insurance. I understand having people only happy if they are ticked off. But I also know that when you are trying to do a good thing and constantly met with adversity eventually you may be tempted to give up.
I do NOT want Jenn to give up because people are making life so hard for her!

When I first received my tube I took a bit of it and placed over a bone that is growing in the wrong direction just to see if it would cause any allergic reactions and it didn't. I had never used Cushion Grip though, so can't compare it.
I'm just learning and trying different things as I go.
Happy Holidays!

Like with adhesives, I'm not allergic to latex and medical tape (including Band-Aids) as long as the are on me. However, when it's removed I get a welt as big as can be. It can even be non-allergenic. I'm allergic to fish oil, but not fish or Omega. I'm deathly allergic to Omnicef, but nor other antibiotics in the same class.

I Googled the product that Eric posted about. It IS a legitimate product made by a major Pharmaceutical company in Japan.
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/zagzag/item/g4987087041392/?s-id=borderless_browsehist_en
The translation is a bit messy but it gets the point across.
It costs $10(USD) for a 1 oz tube, just like Cushion Grip charged. I also checked the ingredients and they are rated a 3 (1 being acceptable through 10 as highly toxic) by the Environmental Working Group's gauge of toxic ingredients and approved by the US FDA as acceptable as a food additive. I trust EWG far more than our own FDA on most anything right now, but Canada just upped Polyvinyl Acetate on their toxicity list so they apparently have found out something adverse that we don't know or won't admit to yet.
The ingredients are not why this product isn't allowed to be sold in the US. It's mainly an import/export issue, since foreign Pharmaceuticals are pretty much banned in the US, due to our strict and highly enforced trade laws on drugs. Of course, we don't really see this as a "pharmaceutical product" but we sell a lot of things over the counter here in the US, that other countries are far more strict about.
So for those interested,(unless he has already) I highly doubt Eric can send any of that product to us. Mostly because it has to go through US Customs/DEA and I don't know if they would allow that. You do have to declare what you are shipping and they do open and inspect packages and will confiscate anything questionable.
As far as people fearing the ingredients of the Japanese version, does anyone KNOW what Cushion Grip was made from? CG says "a" Thermodynamic Plastic, but that doesn't really tell all the ingredients since plain Thermodynamic Plastic does not work the same as Cushion Grip. The ingredients are NOT listed anywhere on the tube,box or instructions. Googling for the ingredients does not come up with an acceptable answer,either. So what's to say Cushion Grip isn't/wasn't made out of the same material as the Japanese product?
We just assume ours is "safe" because we put a lot of trust in our government to not allow someone to sell us something harmful, which isn't always the case, considering all the recalls after something has been approved by the FDA.
Maybe Cushion Grip was really discontinued because of the ingredients.
So hopefully for us, Jenn's version will be SAFE and pass all the tests needed to be able to sell it publicly.

I did find an article where they were trying to recall these products because they cause leukemia after a few years

(no I do not know Jen) I just believe in her
EVERYONE has been begging to have something like CG back on the market. At least Jen is doing something about it.
I would gladly put her product in my mouth and try it. A previous post also stated that CG doesn't have a list of there ingredients anywhere in there packaging. Yet we buy & use sight unseen.... I have used it for 10 yrs now.
So what if Jen's is in a white tube?? Maybe she is just trying to get it out on the market first before she starts deciding on a label design.
I wouldn't waste time on the design right now either. Need people to use
It. I'm up for clinical trials for lack of a better word. After using the "MADE IN THE USA" home reline kits. Send me some of Jens product. Since "CG" has been taken off the market. I can only eat soft foods now. Can't even eat corn on the cob... Didn't have that problem with CG. And I'm hoping Jen's product will work the same!!
I will be in heaven again and put back a few pounds that I've lost because I can't eat like I did. I can't afford to loose anymore either. 58 & 110lb isn't good.
.. Japan & China have been shipping things to the US forever. Look how many toys that they have recalled because there "lead" is contaminating our children.... Dog food that is killing our dogs. ETC!!!!!!!!!The list goes on...
My POINT.
"Prosoft" denture reline kits.... I tried. The chemical taste and smell is so strong you can't even enjoy a cracker it is so overwhelming. SO I decided to look for the ingredients on the box
" METHACRYLATE" IS one of the major ingredients.
I haven't seen anyone complaining about them.??? "FDA APPROVED"
You need to look up the "Material Safety Data Sheet" (msds for short)
Methyl methacrylate MSDS http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/msds/methyl_methacrylate.htm
Methyl methacrylate MSDS http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9927360s
Yet NO ONE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE. OH YAH MADE IT THE USA SO THERE SAFE????????????????????????????????????//
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had no problem at all with my tube. Everything worked exactly the same as Cushion Grip.
maybe your tube was defective?
I actually like Comfort lining better, it dries quicker and its very firm, but yet soft.
I have been wearing one application over a week now.

It says "Corded saws that comprise a cushioned grip will make sure that you get absolute comfort"
Could you please tell me what does it mean? How can it comfort me?

Thank you for posting that I have sent is much information and invited a reporter from the Chicago Tribune onto this site because somehow that Japanese product is being black market it into the United States cannot order it yourself online so this so called Guy is trying to sell it through his email it must be on the black market here I just wanted someone to get on here and figure out if that email address he put out here will lead them to the person trying to sell this in the US illegallyI have no desire to become a part of the Japanese/ Cushion Correction vs Comfort Lining battle. I believe everyone has a right to their opinion and not be attacked for their views. We should be able to share factual information. I'm on neither side, which there shouldn't be sides, I know no one here. Cushion Correction is NOT being black marketed into the US. I ordered it direct from the company in Japan. It went through customs both exiting Japan and then in New York when it entered the US and then delivered right to my door. People need to ask questions, kindly, when they don't know the answer. This would be much better then just making things up. Sorry, if this upsets some and I refuse to engage in a battle here. I believe our FDA and government have allowed many manufacturers to harm all of us health wise.

We must all call Merck at 1-800-444-2080 !!!! Flood them with calls
Merck bought Bayer who made Cushion grip. Merck has the formula.
Call Merck at 1-800-444-2080 - Tell them how ebay and Amazon are peddling Cushion Grip at almost $600.00 per tube.
**** United we stand, divided we fall.*****

Okay Cushion Grip fans, let's get it back now > Action speaks louder than words!!!
This was Bayer HealthCare's response about bringing back Cushion Grip Thermoplastic Denture Adhesive. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!.
Apologies for the ones who had issues with some of the tubes, new replacements will be shipped out
to those who had issues.
In reference to the Japense product and Tim Ruhl or Eric whoever his name is, who has been slandering Comfort Lining for his own demeanor.
