Tonsil Stone Vacuum Kit

For reference, I brush, floss, and gargle twice a day, so I have pretty good oral health. From my point of view looking at my throat, I do not have visible pockets in my tonsils. However, likely from occasional post nasal drip, colds, occasional silent gerd, not drinking enough water, and perhaps tonsil anatomy, I will get a sort of vertical tonsil stone that will peek out from BEHIND my right tonsil. Sometimes I feel it has broken off and I've swallowed it :( But sometimes I can see it ever-so-slowly growing and peeking out more and more each day. I know tonsil stones can emit a VERY UNPLEASANT ODOR, so I therefore want to remove it before it becomes noxious. I shine a flashlight in my mouth with my left hand, squeeze the bulb completely with my right hand, say "Ahhh," keep my eyes on the target, and send the tip of the tube into my mouth gently but FAST. As SOON as it passes into the open space of my throat and curves toward the back side of right tonsil, I ease toward the stone, and release the bulb. In that split second moment, I can hear the suction, and the hard bit gets sucked into tube for rinsing away. I consider myself to have a strong gag reflex, and I am not one to poke around in my throat because I understand that's not a healthy and safe thing to do. But when I see the stone, I prep, and I get in and out FAST. That's when I can successfully remove the stone. I cannot guarantee this will work for you because your stones may be more tightly embedded, you might have deeper pockets, or your anatomy might just be different. But this works for me. Afterwards, I continue to brush, floss, and gargle twice a day, and only a few weeks later might I feel the need to suction from that same spot again. I would recommend this product as it is relatively safe, effective, and cost effective. The suction is pretty strong, in my opinion. Touching your tonsils or back of the tongue or throat is not pleasant, but if you work gently but FAST, you'll get more skilled and won't be too bad.

Ive been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year or so but it never seemed to bad, but after buying this and using for the first time i was shocked by how bad it actually was on the first use i was able to completely clean both my tonsils and had no more stones the tool is very easy to use and works great if youre dealing with stones please buy this it may take some time to get use to it but its worth it, even if you have a bad gag reflex this tool is very comfortable and the more you use it the easier it is

I love the O-shaped attachment that allows me to gently coax the tonsil stone out, like a satisfying accomplishment. This was the main reason I bought thisThe light helps me to easily see where the ugly little stones are hiding. I haven't used the scoop attachments, and for now I don't see the need to (I had a previous one [a different brand] that was a scoop, and, trust me, the ring shaped attachment is much better). The second reason I got this was for the suction/squirting bulb. I was really excited to use it until I saw that it doesn't light up. So you either have to blindly guess where to use it or feel like your playing Operation on your mouth by using both the bulb and the device that lights up at the same time. So I've basically given up on using the bulb. The box didn't come with specific directions, other thann to go to the Oravix site for how to videos and tips. But when I went to the site, I got 404 errors whenever I clicked on the links with the instructions. So for the O-shaped attachment I'd say 5 stars, but with the other instruments and instructions, it brings it down to 4. I will, however, continue to use it!

It works well but at the same time I'll most likely never use it again (I'll explain). My only gripe is the attachable "pipes". This product and others designed to compete with it don't offer a offer a straight pipe attachment(s) (I didn't see any during my search), you get two pipes with different sized openings both at 45 degree angles. I wish this company or another would offer a straight pipe(s). Keep the different sized openings, but make them both straight. Other than that it "works" fine, strong suction, good pressure when using it to irrigate tonsils. In practice I just found it a hassle to use because of the angle of the pipe(s). If your tonsil crypt that gets stones is like mine this probably won't work good for you. I have to push the flap (I don't know what to call it, but it covers part of the tonsil up) inside my mouth that covers the tonsil crypt I'm trying to get at out of the way. If the tool was straight I could use the tool to keep it pinned out of the way, and suck the offending stones out of there (or irrigate the hole). Anyway, hope this helps someone.

It worked. very user friendly I did not have to struggle to figure out all the bits and pieces of the light that comes with the tonsil cleaner helps with the suction / spray feature overall very satisfied looks like it did what was intended

This thing works! It's kinda gross to see the stone in the clear tube but I'd rather clean it out of the tube with the enclosed pipe cleaner brush than to have stones in my tonsils. The manual tool kit isn't very useful to me (at least not for tonsil stone rremoval, but can be used for ear wax removal) but the suction bulb with extendo-style tubes are excellent in both quality and usability. Would highly recommend this instead of a waterpik

I don't understand where all the good reviews are coming from?! I unfortunately was born with deep pits in my tonsils, which causes me to get nasty tonsil stones. Every night is like a surgical procedure in my bathroom trying to remove these things! I've tried it all! Qtips, toothbrush, nail utensils, my fingers to no avail! I had high hopes for this device! But alas, all it did was flood my mouth with barely pressured water but sucked with the intensity of a Hoover! You would have to place it PERFECTLY over the hole, and even then it would still suck up the sides! I'm sorry, but I don't have the time, or the gag reflex, to be playing around in my mouth all night trying to "suck" these little demons out! If you are wanting something that actually WORKS, I suggest you look elsewhere, because this tool is just a huge waste of time and money!!

I was so hopeful for this tool. I have a bad gag reflex and this tool promised that it works well for people with gag reflex. Yea that didn’t work. I tried to breathe through it and used the techniques suggested in the manual but I still could not remove the tonsil stone and instead gagged like crazy and now have a headache.

Good product for tonsils stone removal. 👍👍

The suction Is the best tool I’ve used - easy and effective

Trash, doesn’t work

Ich war ehrlich gesagt skeptisch, ob so ein kleines Werkzeug wirklich gegen Mandelsteine helfen kann – aber das Oravix Mandelstein Schröpfglas hat mich positiv überrascht! Was mir besonders gut gefällt: • Einfache Anwendung: Nach kurzer Eingewöhnung klappt es problemlos. Am besten vor dem Spiegel und mit guter Beleuchtung. • Sanft, aber effektiv: Kein Würgereiz oder Verletzungsgefahr, wenn man vorsichtig vorgeht. • Hygienisch: Das Glas lässt sich leicht reinigen und fühlt sich hochwertig an. • Endlich frischer Atem: Seitdem ich die Mandelsteine regelmäßig entferne, hat sich mein Mundgefühl deutlich verbessert. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass so ein kleines Tool so eine große Wirkung haben kann. Wichtig ist natürlich eine regelmäßige Mundhygiene – aber mit dem Schröpfglas ist es nun viel leichter, hartnäckige Mandelsteine loszuwerden, ohne zum HNO-Arzt zu müssen. Fazit: Wer unter Mandelsteinen leidet, sollte dieses Tool definitiv ausprobieren. Es ist diskret, einfach zu handhaben und spart einem oft den Gang zum Arzt. Volle Empfehlung!

I have had tonsil stones for ever and this tool is a definite game changer. I have been to the GP so many times as my tonsils and glands seem to inflame. They just tell me what to rinse with salt water but I still get them. I found that is I push the vacuum pump over the stones it sucks them out really well. It is a bit grim and I was surprised at the size of the stones I managed to remove. I was even surprised at the size of the cavities on my tonsils after removing the stones. I think the key to success is drinking plenty of water and gargling with salty water a few times a day. This tool can then be used for additional maintenance when you don’t manage to keep on top of such a routine. It can be a bit tricky to use but it does such a good job it is worth the perseverance. I would definitely recommend this product.
