Our suckers work by tricking your brain into thinking you're eating. When you're eating, the gag reflex is suppressed so you can chew and swallow without gagging. To stimulate this natural process, the sucker should be held on the front third of the tongue to stimulate the ninth cranial nerve. It only takes about 10-15 seconds of stimulation and your gag reflex should be suppressed for about 30 minutes. If you need more time, just repeat the process!

Because this is a natural process that your body goes through every time you eat, you probably won't notice any changes to how your mouth or throat feel. However, you'll be able to notice the difference when you get things going. To test things out, try sticking the sucker as far back in your mouth as you can before sucking on it. Then place it on the front third of your tongue for 15-30 seconds and try again.

The gag reflex can definitely be tricky. There's so much behind it including personal anatomy, anxiety, etc. Our suckers have worked great for people with very sensitive reflexes. However, some people may need to combine the sucker with other techniques to get the best results. You can read more about this on our blog!

Each 10 pack comes with a free test sucker so you can try it out before committing. If you try the test sucker and aren't satisfied with the results, reach out to us and we'll help with a return. You'll need to ship the 10 pack back and then receive a full refund.

Nope! We use only food grade ingredients. That said, it is a salty sucker! Just like with anything else salty, if you keep it on your tongue for an extended period it can make your tongue feel a little weird or course. This is nothing to worry about. But remember, you only need 15-30 seconds on the front of the tongue for the effects to kick in.
