Anybody have flexible dentures?

This seems like the best place to ask.
I have a rigid upper partial.
Thinking about trying the flexible one.
Anybody?
Thanks.

I've never heard of them,, but sure hate these rigid things! I have dysphagia and am developing paralysis of the palate and tongue, a flexible upper denture would be a wonderful thing! How do you find out about them?

But it seems that those flexible dentures are only available in India.
