An oral product delivery device and method of using same. The device comprises a main body having two opposed ends, a port coupled to and extending from the main body, a tube configured to removably couple to the port, a clip configured to removably couple to the main body, and a one-way valve disposed within the main body, below the port. The tube has a connector for removably coupling to a syringe. The clip has a flat body having two opposed ends, a flat panel, a semi-circular cut-out disposed along an end of the clip configured to removably couple to the main body, and a tear-drop shaped cut-out disposed along a middle of the clip configured to pinch the tube. The valve comprises a plurality of upper valve tabs, a lower seal, and a float positioned within the main body, between the valve tabs and the lower seal.
