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.
This feels like an ad.
Can’t escape Big Tongue Scraper.

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.
Yeah, that doesn’t seem like a very effective ad campaign, but this is why the Scrape Corporation needs all the help it can get! We are terrible at marketing.
Genuine lol at this comment!
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.
It’s not but yeah I realize I shouldn’t have written the store name I guess
Nope, but I do brush my tongue with the toothbrush while I’m in there doing my teeth.
I’m very shocked to learn this is not the standard from this thread.
Yes. Once you see the shit you get off your tongue you can never return to before.
Hilarious. And perhaps a little too accurate for comfort.
I use a dedicated poop knife for scraping my tongue. Just make sure it’s a different color than your regular poop knife.
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.
I assumed the texture on the back was for tongue scraping. I thought it was a feature.
My bad breath disappeared completely after I started scraping my tongue daily. I also use a textured toothbrush, no complaints.

I use a toothbrush for that.
Do yourself a favor and try a scraper: It works way better and way faster.
Point taken. I just ordered one, I will give it a try.
Do you use it before or after brushing?
After
I usually use it after but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work before too.
I just use my teeth
They probably can’t get as far back as a scraper but it definitely helps
Sometimes! Most of the time I just use my toothbrush. But either way, I absolutely clean my tongue every day.
I have a neat trick for you; stick your tongue out, bite down, pull tongue in again, spit.
My frenulum ☹️
No, I’ve never had a problem with bad breath or matter buildup on my tongue.
I’ll start brushing my tongue if I ever get a tongue cavity.
I floss, brush, and scrape my tongue. My scraper is just a cheap stainless steel thing but it works fine.
How does flossing your tongue work?
Try it out and let us know! I use it on my teeth usually.
Nope but I brush it at the end. Its like front then up and over on the lowers then uppers then roof then tongue.
i have never ever heard of tongue scrapers. Do toothbrushes not work? And do tongue scrapers avoid the gag-reflex induced by using a toothbrush on it?
I use an electric toothbrush and the high speed oscillation is too much to do my tongue without being too tickly. The scraper is just a steady slow motion that was much easier to cope with for me. Just try a rounded spoon to see if you tolerate it. That’s how it was suggested to me, and I just kept on using the spoon because I already had it.
I believe this is the origin of the valley girl expression, “Gag me with a spoon.”
Can’t say as it hasn’t happened once or twice. 😅 I felt I had better control over it than the brush still.
