    My girlfriend says she knows when I’m ready for bed or going to work based on if she can hear me trying not to throw up in the bathroom while brushing my teeth.

        My gag reflex starts at my teeth. To answer for real though, I can’t brush my tongue. Things touching my tongue, aside from food, makes me gag very hard. I’d never make it in Miami.

          Hi me. Every time I brush my tongue it’s instant gag reflex. I hate it so much. Finally got some great toothpaste which helps with flavor sensory issues but nothing can help my tongue

      Sorry but do you actually have such little control over your mouth and face muscles that you can’t avoid gagging on toothpaste?

      Same. Mint triggers my gag-reflex hard. It’s uncomfortable, but such is life if you want to keep your own shinys.

      It has made me throw up so many times. And then I have to start over. It’s not a great way to start ones morning, I can say that.

        It’s not even the toothpaste, but the brush itself that bothers me. Same thing happens when I get throat swabs by the doctor, throw up a decent amount of the time from it. Pretty much anything touching my tongue or throat makes me puke.

          I’m sorry to hear it, mate. You have my condolences. Never stop brushing, though. The alternative is far worse.

          There really isn’t. Not where I live. The price difference alone if you want something like childrens tooth paste is 200% plus, minimum. Even ‘No-Flavor’ toothpaste costs way more, and come in too small portions, than I’m willing to pay for. Plus, only one in ten stores even carry something like it.

            It is a little pricey but 9.95/tube of David’s toothpaste is worth it. You get a lot. Flavors great I like strawberry. Also comes with a tube key to make sure you get every last drop!

    Then spend the next 20 mins dropping an epic duce; or as I like to call it, “dropping my latest rap album”
