Sports mouthguards are flavored to encourage kids to wear them

MoGo Sport is offering flavored mouthguards to help increase the number of kids wearing them during physical activity.

We’ve already seen Uberpong attempt to bring more players to table tennis by providing players with paddles designed to their taste. Now MoGo Sport is offering flavored mouthguards to help increase the number of kids wearing them during physical activity. The guards come in five different flavors – lemon, mint, orange, bubblegum and fruit punch – and are designed to be enjoyable to wear for those just starting to take up sports such as football, rugby, baseball, skiing, snowboarding or lacrosse, where risk of injury can be high. The flavours are embedded in the guard, with more of the substance located near the saliva glands, and are designed to offer long-term performance. The products provide the vital dental shielding that standard guards offer, with the added incentive for young players to keep their teeth safe. The mouthguards are available for USD 11.99 and come in clear and black options. The MoGo guards are made more attractive to kids through the simple addition of flavor. What other products could be made more appealing to children in similar simple ways? Spotted by: Murray Orange
