I personally didn't find them all that helpful because the suction, in order to be strong enough to get the gunk out, ended up hurting my cheeks/gums--which were incredibly sore and sensitive. So I just kept spitting all the time. Still, as I said, I may be the exception since I know other people found they helped.
