I use SF 1.1% Gel made by Cypress Pharmaceutical, Inc. Cost $12.00 a tube at Walgreens and I squeeze a thin ribbon of gel into the trays and put them on right after I floss and brush my teeth right before I retire. I was told by my dentist to wear them for 5 minutes and not drink anything for 30 but I decided just to keep them in the entire 30 and then I take them out and clean them and wrap them loosely in a tissue so the will dry and I also have to be sure to put them in a drawer so any one of my 7 cats don't steal them and run all over the house with them during the night. I should know because I left them alone one night and played hell the next day finding them and they were chewed and bent almost beyond recognition.
