HealthAndYoga™ qSwipe Lite Copper Tongue Cleaners (Pack of 12) – Prevents Bad breath, Improves taste- Flexible, Curved ends provide good grip – Complete Oral Care/Hygiene for Travel/Office/Home

I've never used tongue cleaners before. In fact, I can't recall any dentist ever telling me to use one. I have brushed my tongue, but apparently according to what I've read, that's not very beneficial. Not long ago, I received an email featuring copper tongue cleaners and how beneficial they are to clean the tongue, help keep the teeth from extra tartar build-up and even help prevent infections or, if you already have infection to help it heal quicker. I haven't experienced those things yet to know how much this will help, but I felt it was worth a try. The article stated to use the tongue scraper prior to brushing the teeth and to scrape the tongue a number of times. These scrapers are also supposed to help bad breath and even improve the taste buds! A few years ago, I read about hospitals replacing faucets (and areas often touched) with copper in patient's rooms and found how well it cut down on germs. This all made sense and gave me further reason to consider the copper tongue cleaner, so I decided I'd buy one to try. Well, who wants to pay $7.00 or more for one pure copper tongue cleaner when you can buy twelve pure copper tongue cleaners for around $11.00? So I bought the package of twelve, a no-brainer! Now that I've been using it and notice how much cleaner my mouth feels, I wonder why I've gone so long without trying one! It's easy to use, doesn't hurt, doesn't gag, easy to clean when finished, and if it helps prevent infections then all the better! I'm rather interested to find out if using it twice a day will perhaps help allergies to not be as bad by keeping one's tongue clean! UPDATE: These were such a great buy. I was amazed at how long it took for my tongue to actually feel clean and now used regularly it stays clean, mouth stays fresher and it is well over a year since buying these. I use it every day and it is a great tool and works fantastic. I highly recommend them!

Beautiful tongue cleaners in pure copper! Impressed with quality and quantity for price. Pros: Copper is naturally hostile to germs. Very robustly made. Aesthetically pleasing. Bang for the buck! Cons: Scraping section could have been a bit sharper, like my old stainless steel version I bought in India. But can be sharpened. I missed the tongue cleaners and ear cleaners you could buy in India on the streets, that were sharp and effective. Imagine my surprise to find that you could buy these on Amazon!!!! How terrific! So I bought this pack, and was very impressed with how beautiful they look. They also meet my functional need and are effective tongue scrapers. Leaves your mouth very clean after brushing. Value is unbeatable in a 10 pack! My kids and friends are getting the extras. Yes, they could have been a bit sharper on edges, so I will find a way to 'sharpen' them. Heartily recommend!

First, this is the best price for a quality copper tongue scraper/cleaner on Amazon. Better than brushing your tongue with your toothbrush. The length of the handles is sufficient to reach the back of your tongue without stick your fingers in your mouth. The thickness of the scrapping/cleaning paddle is perfect to get a clean scrape and still hold it's original shape after bending to stow it away. I stow mine in a fat toothbrush travel tube (1.5" diameter) to protect it from contamination between uses, and when I pull it out, it springs right back to the original shape. That is important because the curvature should stay smooth and not get a kink in the cleaning padel. The knobs on each end make it easy to use (grip). The instructions remind you to be gentle to avoid damaging your tastebuds (thank you for that). BE GENTLE! It's own weight is sufficient to do the job - don't put down-pressure on it. Finally, the cleaning padel is nicely radiused and polished to prevent damage (cutting) your tongue or taste buds.

Most effective tongue scraper I've ever used and for the the best value, period. I had a metal one from Whole Foods for way longer than I should have been putting in my mouth. The handles were a sort of hard rubber that deteriorated over time, while building up this gross, black discharge inside of the handle as it peeled away. It looked like my tongue scraper had scurvy. Then I converted to a cheap plastic scraper I bought from the dollar store. I wasted one good year of my life using this. My mouth never felt fully purged of the disgusting, white bacteria debris and feces (or whatever that stuff is when you wake up in the morning sometimes). This poor excuse for a tongue scraper was the equivalent of wiping your a** once after s***ing. And don't even get me started on people who say they use a tooth brush. They don't know what true oral pleasure feels like. A colleague of mine had one with the same design as this Copper Tongue cleaner in stainless steel that she said she bought online for $40 seven years ago. Looking at the sleek, erotic(?) design with that crisp edge that's just sharp enough to scrape every dead cell off of your tongue but not sharp enough to send you to the emergency room, I knew that one day I would have it. I knew in my heart and mind that it was the tongue scraper for me. I imagined the feeling of it--like scraping months of old grease off of a pan, but on your tongue. It's that disgusting discharge that brings brings a strange euphoria to me every morning: "That's me right there. That came out of my body." And most people will never know this joy because most people don't even know what a tongue scraper is. They may never share this secret guilty pleasure. I have been to the ends of the earth. I promise you, this is as good as it gets. Right here. Click that buy button and your life will never be the same. But there's more. I mean, literally, there are 12 of twelve of them. I was expecting one of these to retail for $10-$40 based on what my lady friend said. Twelve for for $7. WTF?? I'm furious that I didn't know about this sooner. It's like the people at HealthAndYoga are on some divine mission to spread the gospel of the tongue scraper. And so, I feel it's my duty to do my part. I've been giving these away left and right. And if you haven't been convinced already, you too can be your community's own Johnny Appleseed of oral hygiene. In fact, you could buy 2-10 orders and give them away for Halloween. Parents would love you, dentists would rejoice, and statues would be erected in your name. Oh, and one last thing. Copper is antimicrobial, so when you can't wash it well enough when you're at some newage yoga retreat getting your dental chakras aligned, you just might not have to worry as much about keeping your new metal friend clean.
