Frequently asked questions

For what ages is the TongueGym suitable?+

The TongueGym was developed to fit users of all ages — from 2 days old and upwards.

Who should use the TongueGym?+

The TongueGym is designed for those who wish to increase tongue strength and mobility. We recommend that users who need tongue exercises first consult their healthcare provider.

How do I use the TongueGym with my baby?+

Make the time you and your baby use the TongueGym your special 'TG Time.' Start by playing with your baby, perhaps singing their favorite songs while allowing the tips of the TongueGym to gently touch their lips.

After they have gotten used to it, you can slowly and gently start using the TongueGym to lift the tongue. Do just one lift at first, and then increase the number of lifts per session, guided by your sense of confidence and your baby's tolerance.

You might also consult with your healthcare provider before you start your baby's or child's tongue exercises.

How should an adult or older child use the TongueGym by themselves?+

The TongueGym is small and easy to handle. It can go with you virtually anywhere, using the carry case it came in or any other clean box you prefer. This enables you to do your tongue exercises on the go — in the office, while watching TV, in the car, or anywhere else you feel comfortable. You might choose to consult your healthcare provider before you or your child begins their tongue exercises.

Do I need any special instructions for cleaning the TongueGym?+

Before and after each use, be sure to clean the TongueGym by washing it with lukewarm water, using a mild soap.

Can I reuse the same TongueGym throughout my regimen?+

We recommend discarding the TongueGym after completing a full regimen, or after one month of use. If your exercise regimen should last beyond that, we recommend using a new TongueGym each month.

Is the TongueGym BPA-free?+

Absolutely! We did everything necessary to ensure that the TongueGym would be safe for doing tongue exercises, including making it BPA-free.

Why is using the TongueGym better than using my fingers?+

First of all, using the TongueGym is much easier, more hygienic and more precise than using one's fingers. Just imagine using the TongueGym instead of putting your fingers in the tiny mouth and under the tongue of your baby.

Second, the TongueGym is ergonomically designed to fit the mouth's anatomy and be the most comfortable for everyone involved — from adults doing their own exercises, to parents helping their babies, to the children themselves. The ergonomic design also enhances accuracy, leading to more efficient exercise time.

Does the TongueGym meet the required standards and regulations?+

Yes! The TongueGym has been tested in an international laboratory to meet the applicable international and regional standards and regulations. Moreover, the TongueGym was manufactured automatically, without human contact, and is BPA-free.

I bought my TongueGym from BAM Medical — is my product still supported?+

Yes — fully. Liper and the TongueGym are now owned and operated by Meltser Sky LTD. We acquired the product, all of its patents, and the rights to carry forward the work of its inventor, Dr. Eyal Botzer, who continues to lead the clinical vision behind it. The product itself is unchanged, and customer support continues without interruption.

If you have any questions about an order placed previously through BAM Medical Ltd. — replacements, warranty, exercise guidance, anything — just email us at main@liper-device.com and we'll take care of it.
