I have been an avid Amazon shopper for years. Never once have I (selfishly) written a review for a product. After purchasing this simple tongue scraper, tonight I am ending that streak.

Before today, my tongue had (unknowingly) never seen the light of day. That's right. For YEARS, my tongue had been a whiteish-covered organ. It was more white-covered than pink. It looked like it had been born permanently stained with streaks of vanilla ice cream (as long as I can remember).

I thought I was just born "different". But deep down, I secretly envied the wet, pink, glistening tongues of others. Over the years and with countless attempts of desperation, I scrubbed and scrubbed my tongue with the fronts and backs of toothbrushes, all to no avail. I resided that I would always be a freak, I would always be the outcast with a white-splotched tongue.

Until tonight.

I skeptically opened the tongue cleaner and went into the bathroom. Sure, I had read all of the other ecstatic reviews, but I was different. Momma didn't raise a boy with no pink tongue, no sir, and there was no way it would change now.

I almost chuckled at the absurdity of even trying this, as I raised the scraper into my mouth. "I've been through this so many times, so many years...", I thought.

I opened my mouth and rested the scraper at the back of my tongue, giving myself one last look, almost as if to say "It's ok Stewart, one day others will judge you not by the color of your tongue but by the flavor of your breath." But then I remembered that my breath was probably caused by my tongue, and cried.

I shook my head as I looked at myself, giving me lonesome one last sorrowful look, trying to let myself down easy... and started scraping.

As I pulled the gentle scraper down across my tongue, I couldn't believe my eyes.

"What is that??" I asked myself. It continued piling up on the scraper, I dare not describe its feature. More and more, it continued to pile up... Was not my tongue in its barren and dry state just a moment ago? Wherefore doth this infernal material spring forth from? What manner of sorcery does this device command?!

The scraper rolled off my tongue, my eyes following it down the mirror as I lowered it to the sink, washing off what I thought must have been residual dragon saliva, hiding in the nether caves of my taste budduals.

I looked back up to the mirror, into the nefarious cave of the mouthlock, the home of the white wildebeast.

"What is this.... Are not my eyes deceiving me?? Dothfore I not see a pinkish-red plain that was therefore not there before???!"

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I HAD FINALLY UNCOVERED WHAT MY SOUL HAS CRIED FOR FOR YEARS -- A PINKISH-RED TONGUE!

I was freaking out of my mind. I put the scraper back in and started scraping like a bug-eyed Californian goldminer in 1848, giggling gleefully as I hopped up and down with childish delight. Scrape, scrape, scrape -- the sins of my tongue coming off with each gentle scrape.

I probably scraped for almost five minutes. When I finally cleared it all, I stood there in front of the mirror with my big ol' tongue hanging out like Lassie's on a hot summer day. I was laughing and shaking my head, watching that big beautiful pink tongue that had shamed me for so many years laugh and play in his pinkish-red wonderland.

Maybe I'm going a bit overboard here. But I just can't get enough -- I have literally been going into the bathroom JUST to unfurl my tongue before the mirror so I can admire it, like rolling out the red carpet to Nirvana, watching it sway back and forth like the pendulum of the divine, with myself still wide-eyed and wondrous of the miracle of Dr Tung.

I'm anxious for tomorrow, when I'll surely be over-zealous in showing off my new "look" to others. I even catch myself pondering how I can garner as much exposure time for my new "pride" as possible. I have visions of me jumping up on my coworkers desks and rolling out my best "Gene Simmons".

I then imagine my colleagues leaning over to each others' cubicles, whispering their shocked surprise -- "Goodness gracious, have you seen Stewart today? Something's different about him... Something's different, alright, and whatever it is, I LIKE IT."

[Short version]: BUY THIS SCRAPER. It will take years off your tongue and add them back upon your life.

I didn't even know what a tongue scraper was until about a day before I bought this. I had a disgusting taste in my mouth that made me gag and it was to the point that even my favorite foods tasted disgusting to me. I didn't know what was going on, and brushing my teeth (and using the toothbrush on my tongue) frequently didn't seem to help. My doctor recommended this tongue scraper. I couldn't find it in stores so I'm glad it was stocked at Amazon. It's a little gross to see what it takes off your tongue! However, it definitely works. If I haven't used it for a few days, I start to notice the gross taste again.

Incidentally, I had been using mouthwash and my doctor mentioned that this can actually make the problem worse, and that the best defense is to drink a lot of water, brush your teeth frequently, and use the tongue scraper.

This is a great tongue scraper - it beats the hard plastic hoops that make you gag. The stainless steel edge scrapes effectively, and the soft rubbery handles provide a good non-skid gripping surface.

My boyfriend has the original of this tongue scraper that didn't have the rubber grip handles and he loved it so much that I decided to give this one a try. What can I say, it's awesome! You don't even want to know that stuff came off your tongue and trust me it scraps off A LOT!!!! Definately worth the money to invest in this little piece of metal.

I have had plastic tongue cleaners and recently I had a brush tongue cleaner which was like a toothbrush but with a wider brush to cover the area of the tongue. Well this Dr. Tung's is the KING and at this price you can't go wrong. I threw away all of the others and just love this tongue cleaner! The cleaner is metal and the shape makes it easy to use and clean. You really see all of the grim just wipe away off your tongue. I can reach farther back with this cleaner too and there is hardly any gag reflex. The quality of the tongue cleaner is top notch with nice firm rubber handles and the metal 'U' shaped cleaner. Near the bend in the 'U' shape it is thicker to compensate for the shape of the tongue - very effective. Overall you can't go wrong - price and usability which is what matter most in a product.

When it comes to tongue cleaners, this one's the best! Durable and strong, but don't scrape off your taste buds with it Bucko! Just use it to save your Friends and loved one from your "Morning DRAGON BREATH!! Use it, and enjoy life.

This is one of those devices that most people think they can do without. You know, ya' say, "I brush, I floss, what more do you want?" Well let me tell you, you need this.

I'm one of those people who brushes, gargles with Listerine, flosses and uses a Sonicare at least twice daily, but was always gagging when brushing my tongue. This little device not only works wonders in scraping the white residue that collects on the tongue, but it also doesn't affect my gag reflex, so I can really get to the back of my tongue for a thorough cleaning.

You will be amazed by the amount of residue still remaining on your tongue after you brush that you weren't aware of. As you scrape with this, you will visibly see the excess gunk coming off your tongue. (Not to gross anyone out...) I can actually tell a difference with how foods taste and smell after using this for a few days. This works so much better than those cheap plastic ones at the drug store and is so sturdy, it'll last for years.

Really, try it. You'll be hooked. It's so quick and easy to use and you'll never have bad breath or an icky tongue again. Those who kiss you will thank you and those who don't may start...;8^)

I've owned many tongue cleaners before, and I will do some comparisons to other products I've used before.

First off, I've used the Dr. Wieder's Original Tung-Brush with Free Gel Sample - 1 ea for many years before.

The Tung-Brush
- Cleans deep
- Cleans well with the tongue gel
- But however can cause bleeding from too much pressure

Steel Tongue Cleaner
- Doesn't clean as deep
- Cleans and covers a larger surface area
- Doesn't cause bleeding because of the scrape forward motion
- Doesn't require a brush or back and forth motion, just an easy pulling motion

Secondly, I've also used the tongue cleaner that you find everywhere in Wallgreens, Target, and Walmart DenTek Breath Remedy, Comfort Clean, Tongue Cleaner 1 ea

Dentek
- Rubber is comfortable, but doesn't clean as well
- Triangular gap doesn't really contribute much to comfort or cleaning quality
- Flexible and can reach the back of the tongue

Steel Tongue Cleaner
- Steel is surprising comfortable, and can scrap off surprising well
- Simple design cleans and covers more tongue surface
- Is very flexible, and can manipulate the steel however way desired

Overall, The Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner is very efficient and dependable. Even though it doesn't clean as deep as I would want, it does a great job scraping a lot off and keeping bacteria minimized until the next visit to the bathroom sink.

The Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner could perhaps be used with another tongue cleaner, so that you could have a better tongue cleaning routine. I say buy with confidence!

I've used disposable plastic tongue scrapes off and on in the past, and while they work alright, they usually leave my tongue slightly bloodied and sore. I ordered this from Amazon recently and haven't looked back since. It's quicker, as it covers the entire width of the tongue at once, and still manages to clean without tearing my tastebuds into a bloody mess. A must for dental hygiene!

i thought this tongue scraper works so well! I wasnt sure if i would like it because i was used to using the breathrx plastic scrapers. This one is soo much better. It is so gentle on your tongue and it really removes alot more than i expected. Because it is so gentle, it's really easy to scrape far back on your tongue, which is where most of the 'funky' stuff is anyways. Also, because it is stainless steel, you don't have to worry about germs as much. It is money well spent!
