Momma Told Me: Safety isn't about fun.
I can't even begin to recollect all of the times I went outside to jump on a scooter or strap on skates and Momma and I had to have our traditional chats about outdoor safety. Because I was Momma's first, and only, child (and because, well, hospital fees are expensive, right?) it seemed like I was destined to be the kid on the block with the most protective padding. Heading into my teens I was forced to wear complete knee and arm pads, along with an oh-so-trendy helmet every time I took to skates. It was humiliating, but the one time I took a serious dive and landed on my elbow, shattering the growing plate, I was thankful the accident hadn't been much worse. Safety isn't about being cool, or fun, but it's always an extra piece of mind for parents when their children actually want to gear up. Few activities illustrate this like contact sports.
Whether your son's entering Pee-Wee football, your daughter's starting soccer, or your hubby just joined a pickup hockey league; protecting one's mouth and jaw seems to be low on the 'cool' spectrum. When it comes to youth, most players complain that mouth-guards are unsightly, uncomfortable and boring. But even a helmet can't protect from the shock of a core blow, or the jerk of an unexpected play. Mouthguards are not just meant to help absorb direct blows to the face, but also keep your tongue and mouth free of uncontrolled reactions during the game. And, let's not forget about preserving all that expensive dental work to keep those pearly whites clean and un-chipped! MoGoSport is all about making mouth protection fun, okay, at least appealing; with their innovative
flavored mouthguard technology that imbeds the flavor within the BPA free poly-resin. The flavor is not sprayed on the guard, but built into it, which means a lasting flavor effect through months of use.
The MoGo M1 Flavored Mouthguard comes in two sizes, Child (Ages 11-) and Adult (Ages 12+), and have a special fitting process that involves warming the guard in water then fitting the guard to match the user's jaw. This particular guard model is not designed for wearers with braces, but do not fret, MoGo has a special braces friendly guard! There are also six great flavors to fit every taste; Orange, Mint, Lemon, Fruit Punch, Blue Raspberry, and Bubble Gum. My Adult M1 Mouthguard came in Blue Raspberry, though I was also sent flavor strips to sample the other flavors. I was surprised just how much flavor was released over gradual use, and favored the Bubble Gum, personally, the most. The M1 Mouthguard also has a special flavor section located at the back of the guard meant to trigger salivary glands for safe performance.
The MoGo Performance Series Mouthguard includes an easy quick attach tether for helmets, and is backed by a $10k dental warranty; which is pretty reassuring. As someone looking into joining a Roller Derby team in mid-2014, I'm very glad to have discovered these unique flavored mouth guards that once again make action sports protection just a little cool again. Even after fitting I find my MoGo to be a little snug- and couldn't determine the size based on the package I received, though I was told I was sent an adult. This snugness doesn't detour from the purpose, and the fit, it is simply a little more intense to the guards I am used to. Be sure to follow the fitting instructions provided on the website and pay special attention to fit, making a second fitting attempt if you are not 100% satisfied; however you should never trim your guard. Free Shipping is currently offered on orders of 4 or more and the MoGo is currently stocked primarily online.
