Sugar Free Fine English Peppermint Mints

Lots of mums find that a sharp hit of peppermint takes the edge off a wave of queasiness, and helps with the metallic taste and stale mouth that often come with early pregnancy. These little mints are flavoured with real English peppermint oil, so they taste clean and strong rather than sickly sweet.

They're sweetened with xylitol instead of sugar, which matters if you're nibbling something every hour. Xylitol is kinder to teeth than sugar, and your teeth and gums can already be more sensitive in pregnancy. The slim card pack slips into a pocket, bag or bedside drawer.

They aren't made for pregnancy, and they're a small comfort rather than a remedy. They're a cheap, easy thing to keep to hand. Don't overdo them, because large amounts of xylitol can have a laxative effect.
