I know there is a product like looks sort of like chewing gum, you kind of line an area of your dentures with it, it also helps them adhere to your gums. Try walgreens or CVS.

Listen to Crack Rabbit. Go to the dentist. Another dentist.
I hate to use a soft liner in a denture, because they get so scummy so quickly. But - about once every 2-3 years, I finally agree that this is the best thing for the patient. We have a product in the office now that is not unlike a silcone bathtub sealer that holds up for a couple of years before it has to be re-done. There is a lab product that looks better, but doesn't hold up any longer.

You probally shouldn't buy anything. If it's a new denture the pink part of the denture needs trimmed by your dentist. If dentures are aged, then then possibly new dentures are the answer. Once you start buying items to aid the fit of your dentures, nothing seems to ever be right. It will take a while to toughen up your natural gums with the purchase of new dentures.

Usually they put liner when the dentures are loose.It is your dentist's responsibility to do some adjustments,to make it fit better.It is not a big deal for them.There is nothing in the market to soften your dentures.It is the pressure and the tartness.Just tell your dentist have mercy.It can be so uncomfortable.

Sounds to me that your dentures are not mad right, go back to whom ever made them and get them fixed
