I can totally relate to the adhesive drying out mid-flight. Last time I flew, I thought I'd be clever and apply extra cream beforehand... big mistake. Ended up with a weird taste and still had to reapply mid-air. Lesson learned, haha.

Haha, been there myself. I remember one flight where I thought I'd nailed it by using a different brand of adhesive—supposedly "extra strength." Well, turns out altitude and cabin dryness had other plans. Spent half the flight discreetly sipping water and hoping no one noticed my awkward chewing. It's definitely trial and error, but hey, at least we're not alone in this denture travel adventure... right?

Haha, your story reminded me of my first cruise after getting dentures. Thought I'd be clever and packed extra adhesive tubes—figured I was prepared for anything. Well, turns out seasickness and dentures aren't exactly best friends. Spent the first evening trying to discreetly reapply adhesive while the ship rocked back and forth... not my finest moment. But hey, like you said, at least we're all figuring this out together.

Haha, your cruise story cracked me up—I can totally relate. Reminds me of the time I went camping shortly after getting my dentures. Thought I'd be fine with just a flashlight and a tiny mirror to reapply adhesive in the tent at night... big mistake. Ended up dropping my dentures into my sleeping bag and spent half an hour fumbling around in the dark trying to fish them out quietly so I wouldn't wake everyone else. You're definitely not alone in this denture adventure!

Haha, camping sounds rough! Reminds me of when I went to visit family and forgot my adhesive altogether. Had to discreetly nibble on mashed potatoes all weekend while dodging questions about why I wasn't eating grandma's famous ribs... awkward times.
