Throw one in your pocket or purse and they make eating out so much more comfortable. I have dental work that I have to flush after eating. These work great and are so discreet.

It does help with tonsil stones. It however is sharper than I expected. Also when filling ive taken it all the way out accidentally on multiple occasions causing a huge mess.

These hand-held irrigators are not as convenient as an electric oral irrigator, but the pressure is much greater and nothing gets my gums or the spaces between my teeth cleaner. These are also great for poorly fitted crowns and any pockets you might have. I keep one in my home and take one in my purse for use after meals. Great value for the money.

The two syringes are well-made of strong plastic, with a good seal, so they work very well and are easy to use. Shipped in a heavy re-sealable plastic bag, useful for storage and transporting these, which will be wet after use. I bought these to use while traveling, so I wouldn't have to lug around a Waterpik, and it was a great decision! Very happy with the quality and function of these items.

I use these for tonsil stones. As a kid I had a lot of tonsil problems and now I have huge caverns in my tonsils. It doesn't matter if I floss, brush teeth, gargle multiple times a day, food gets in there and I get stones. I really wanted a way to just clean them out at night so they don't form and stay clean and this works really good. Today was my third day using them and I just fill a glass up with purified water and salt and fill the irrigators and I just need one for each tonsil but if I need more it's easy to refill with a glass next to you. I got a lot out of my tonsils that I couldn't see, I just put the tip in one of the caverns and squeeze the whole thing out and spit the water into a bowl or sink and you will see what was up in there. It already feels so much better even after only a few days of use and I'm not seeing many stones like I was the first couple times and it already doesn't have a jank taste and smell when I use it so I know it's cleaning them good.

I've dealt with bad breath all my life (I'm 29). Scraping my tongue has managed it, but only recently did I realize tonsil stones were a big component too. I've been cleaning them with wet Q-tips which only get the visible ones at the tonsil crypt entrance.This irrigator with a mixture of warm water & sea salt works well because you can stick it up just inside tonsil crypts and spray the inside clean. I have wide tonsils crypts so it's not a problem but I could understand that someone with narrow crypts might have trouble sticking this inside. The syringe length also makes it a bit unwieldy.I only just used this for the first time but I got several tonsil stones out of various sizes. The syringe tip isn't as sharp as some of these reviews make it out to be but you definitely want to be careful (I was a little rough and cut myself a little bit). Gargling with the salt water afterwards probably helps sanitize & clot any cuts.Accurately getting to the back of your throat with these without gagging is difficult and frustrating at first but with practice I'm willing to bet you'll be getting tonsil stones out like a champ. It's definitely less painful and expensive than a tonsillectomy.

I use these to administer oral solutions to animals. I choose tapered syringes with a curve because they can be placed in the crease of the mouth and the liquid can be injected behind the tongue so the animal doesn't force it out. They hold up superbly with washing and sterilizing multiple times and the tips can be trimmed easily without leaving abrasive edges in case one should need to increase the size of the hole for any reason. I much prefer that they are unmarked because the printed volume gauges on traditional plastic syringes are unsightly as they wear away. They can exert a great amount of pressure when ejecting liquid so they would perform well in the advertised function as an irrigator.

Bought these to help gently irrigate tonsil cavities that can fill with tonsilloths/"tonsil stones" (Google it; it's not a great topic for polite conversation) & they work GREAT. Even though I'd read through the reviews here before buying, I was still pleasantly surprised by how well these work for me.Simply fill with warm water (or a salt water solution or an oral irrigating solution) by immersing the tip in a small glass filled with your favorite solution and pull the plunger back.Then, when you use the irrigator, you have full control over the pressure of the irrigating stream by how much physical thumb pressure you put on the plunger as you're irrigating. This is really important for soft tissue irrigation (like the back of the throat, tonsil area, etc.) to avoid bruising or bleeding.The tip is angled perfectly for comfortably reaching any area of the mouth you need to cleanse. It would be ideal for cleansing after wisdom tooth extraction & would work for anyone looking for a quick solution for cleaning braces between brushings, as well.10 mm size is just right for the job; a larger chamber would make it too difficult to see the area you're irrigating clearly (I use a flashlight). Refilling the chamber is quick & easy. This is an effective (albeit low-tech solution) to a nettlesome problem and the price is definitely right. Recommended enthusiastically!
