I’ve been doing this for years but my friends were utterly baffled when they found out. I have a cheap, copper plated tongue scraper from a knick-knack store and it does the job beautifully, virtually eliminating morning breath.

          Haha I bought a tongue scraper years ago for like $5. Then my dentist gave me another. So it’s super funny to me that a company selling a somewhat niche product for a super cheap price, a product that can easily last a lifetime, would be out here covertly advertising on a niche social media website.

      I heard that if you buy a copper played flying Tiger tongue scraper today you can get an anal douche kit with bonus scrotum razor for just 3x payments of $5.99.

    Sometimes! Most of the time I just use my toothbrush. But either way, I absolutely clean my tongue every day.

    I use a dedicated poop knife for scraping my tongue. Just make sure it’s a different color than your regular poop knife.

    Yes, I started because using mouthwash and brushing twice a day was not enough for my breath. Haven’t had bad breath since. Mine is just a plastic tongue scraper, nothing fancy.

    I just use the back of the toothbrush. I get ones that are textured.

    I feel like my breath is bad if I don’t.

      I just use my toothbrush after cleaning the teeth with the leftover paste still on it. Works well for me and is also said to hinder the spread of viruses in some kind of manner, at least I think I read this on the news some time ago.

      I also used the backside of the brush for this but my method seems more effective to me, I would like to see a study about this.

      My bad breath disappeared completely after I started scraping my tongue daily. I also use a textured toothbrush, no complaints.

    No. I tried it for a while and didn’t see any difference in terms of breath. (I didn’t try your particular tongue scraper brand though)

      This was my experience as well. I have no idea if I was doing it wrong (how hard is it to scrape your tongue, after all… it’s not like there’s that much technique involved if everyone else in the thread is just ‘doing it’), but after two months I just stopped.
