A user who kept gagging when brushing the back of her tongue with a toothbrush used the Peter Farrer cleaner daily, brushing first with the micro-bristles and finishing with the scraper. Gagging doesn't disappear completely, but the small sweeping strokes across the tongue were easy enough that she kept reaching for it. ## Good to know - **Product**: Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation tongue cleaner - **Structure**: Micro-bristles + dual scraper (along the head edges) - **Micro-bristles**: Said to use 3,000 micro-bristles - **Extra feature**: Silicone nubs on the back of the bristle head - **Colors**: 3 options - **Handle**: Long ergonomic shape, with a hangable end *Prices as written by the tester on Sep 14, 2026 · not updated automatically* Here's my review of the Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation Tongue Cleaner, which made cleaning my tongue much less of a gagging ordeal. ![Full view of the Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation Tongue Cleaner](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-01-ascxt-1200.webp) Some people just brush their teeth and call it done, but for me, my mouth doesn't feel fresh unless I clean my tongue too, so I always make a point of it. The problem is, when I try to brush the back of my tongue with a toothbrush, I get this uncomfortable urge to gag. But if I only lightly brush the front, it doesn't feel like a proper clean either. So this time I tried the Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation Tongue Cleaner. At first I figured all tongue cleaners were pretty much the same, but seeing it in person, it wasn't just a typical scraper shape — it had both micro-bristles and a scraper built in together. ![Tongue cleaner structure with both micro-bristles and scraper](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-02-vkwgo-966.webp) ## What's different about the Peter Farrer 5th Gen tongue cleaner's design? The Peter Farrer 5th Gen tongue cleaner has micro-bristles on one side of the head and a scraper along the head's edge. The first thing that caught my eye up close was the part that actually touches the tongue. ![Head of the tongue cleaner that touches the tongue](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-03-npza4-966.webp) One side is packed with dense micro-bristles, and the edge of the head has a scraper too, so you can use it two different ways. ![Close-up of the densely packed micro-bristles](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-04-17s1x-966.webp) Peter Farrer says this tongue cleaner has 3,000 micro-bristles. Zooming in with the camera, you can really see how densely packed they are. A tongue's surface isn't perfectly smooth — it has these tiny subtle bumps — so I liked that the bristles were this fine and dense. Compared to brushing my tongue with a regular toothbrush, where the bristles always felt too big and thick, this felt totally different since it's made specifically for the tongue. ## Not just micro-bristles: the dual scraper on the head edges Flip it over and you see another structure — this is the dual scraper. ![Dual scraper side on the opposite end of the head](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-05-x9ga5-966.webp) I've been using it by cleaning the tongue's surface first with the bristles, then finishing up with the scraper. Rather than pressing hard right away, I found it easier to start with a few light passes at the front of my tongue, then gradually work further back as I got used to it. The tongue is a sensitive area, so I've learned it's better to use just enough pressure to be comfortable rather than scraping hard no matter what. ### The silicone nubs hidden behind the micro-bristles ![Silicone nubs behind the micro-bristles](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-06-1kx0z-966.webp) There are silicone nubs behind the bristles, and these give the tongue a light massage that helps the whole area get cleaned more gently :) ## Looking for a tongue cleaner because brushing makes you gag? This was actually the biggest reason I wanted a dedicated tongue cleaner in the first place. ![Dedicated tongue cleaner used instead of a toothbrush](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-07-f1grc-966.webp) Whenever I tried to brush the back of my tongue with a toothbrush head, even going in just a little deep would set off my gag reflex, so I'd often end up doing a half-hearted job and stopping. The Peter Farrer 5th Gen tongue cleaner is shaped specifically for tongue care, so it felt completely different from using a toothbrush. Personally, I liked that I could sweep the tongue's surface with small movements. Of course, everyone's gag reflex is different, so I can't say it disappears completely, but if you've struggled with brushing your tongue like I have, trying a dedicated tongue cleaner might be worth it! ## Why the end of the Peter Farrer handle is shaped that way I was mostly focused on the head, but the handle turned out to be pretty comfortable too. ![Long ergonomic handle shape of the tongue cleaner](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-08-16ah9-966.webp) Its long shape gives you a stable grip, and I didn't have to bend my wrist too much even when reaching the back of my tongue. It's designed with an ergonomic shape, so holding and using it never felt awkward. ## Why it was easy to keep in the bathroom and use every day With oral care tools like this, function matters, but at the end of the day, you'll only keep using it if you reach for it often. ![Light blue colored tongue cleaner sitting in the bathroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-09-mjp8n-966.webp) The Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation Tongue Cleaner comes in 3 color options, so you can pick one that suits your taste. The one I used was a light blue with an accent color, which didn't stand out too much sitting in the bathroom. It's a design that doesn't clash with the rest of the bathroom even sitting right next to the toothbrushes, so it was fine to leave out. ## Who this tongue cleaner suits best - Anyone who finds brushing their tongue with a toothbrush uncomfortable - Anyone trying a dedicated tongue cleaner for the first time - Anyone who wants both micro-bristles and a scraper in one tool - Anyone who wants simple, easy daily oral care - Anyone looking for a design that's not embarrassing to leave out in the bathroom When you look around at recommended tongue cleaners, a lot of them are just scrapers. Being able to use both micro-bristles and a scraper together was the biggest difference I noticed while using this one. ![Product shot showing the combined micro-bristle and scraper design](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-10-ka7u9-966.webp) ## Final verdict on the Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation tongue cleaner At first I wondered if switching to a tongue cleaner would really make that much of a difference. But after using a product made specifically for the tongue instead of a toothbrush, the routine of cleaning with the bristles and finishing with the scraper turned out to be simpler than I expected, so I kept reaching for it. The 3,000 micro-bristles plus dual scraper structure was the standout feature for me, and the long handle with a hangable end was practical too. If you've been bothered by gagging every time you brush your tongue, or you've been looking for a dedicated tongue cleaner to use instead of a toothbrush, this one might be worth comparing. ## FAQ ![FAQ image on how to use and care for the tongue cleaner](https://img.superchart.com/images/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen-11-14lp0-966.webp) Q. Do I need to use a tongue cleaner separately instead of a toothbrush? Not necessarily, but I found it more comfortable to use a product made specifically for the tongue. Q. How do you use the bristles and scraper? I use the bristle side to lightly brush my tongue first, then finish up with the scraper side. Q. Does it get rid of gagging completely? Gagging varies a lot from person to person, so I can't say it disappears entirely. Starting lightly at the front of the tongue was easier for me at first. Q. How do you clean and store it after use? I rinse it thoroughly under running water and dry it in a well-ventilated spot. ## Products - Peter Farrer Dual 5th Generation Tongue Cleaner — Peter Ferrer --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ordering-in-daegu/peterparer-dual-tongue-cleaner-fifth-gen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
