We’re a smartphone-dominated nation, with 4G LTE networks beating many home internet connections in terms of speed, and 5G just beginning to launch in select cities. We have more good wireless carrier options than we’ve had in years, thanks to vigorous competition between the four major carriers and smaller virtual carriers like Google Fi and Visible. But some of our choices have constricted a bit: The smartphone OS marketplace is basically down to Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, and it’s hard to find a really good simple voice phone nowadays. Top 12 Smartphones But what should you be looking for when buying a cell phone? Here are some key points to consider: Which Cell Phone Carrier Should You Choose? Despite all the recent hardware and mobile software innovation, your wireless service provider remains your most important decision. No matter what device you buy, it’s a doorstop unless you have solid wireless coverage.

Whether you’re looking for an all-purpose mouthwash that accomplishes all of the above, or something that targets more specific symptoms, we’ve got you covered.

Alcohol also dries out your mouth, which promotes bad breath. In other words, the more often you use an alcohol-based mouthwash, the more likely you are to feel like you need mouthwash. Dr. Rubecca Shahid, of Seattle’s Bright Now Dental, told us that she recommends alcohol-free mouthwash to her patients due to this, so we cut any mouthwash that included it — which knocked much of Listerine’s product line from […]

CONVENIENCE Because you can tow it with your own car, once you arrive at the campsite, just unhitch the camper and then drive your vehicle anywhere you’d like to go.
