How does it compare to just brushing your tongue?
honestly I got one of these and ended up going back to brushing my tongue. maybe I am like more thoroughly brushing my tongue than other people or something but it never was as clean from a tongue scraper as from brushing
Brushing your tongue is like using a broom to sweep leaves from a grassy lawn while this is like using a rake.
I was never able to get much off my tongue with a toothbrush. Your tongue is kinda like velcro with fuzz stuck in it. The tongue scraper kinda depresses the velcro so you can remove the fuzz (plaque). If your tongue is where tinted white, that's plaque, which can be scraped off. Also removes stuff like garlic or oregano breath pretty well.
