This item does open my nostrils allowing me to breath easier, but at a price. It’s comfortable and even hurts. My nose is uneven so maybe that’s the problem.

Stop sleep apnea
Posted in 
Tags:
I gave it a try for two weeks, it was so uncomfortable that the benefit of the open airway was over shadowed by the rubber mouthpiece I could not get used to. On top of that, for whatever reason, if i slept on my side then in the middle of the night I found find the mouthpiece had fallen out. So, I might try it again. All I can say is it’s a quality product and it really does what it advertises, you do breathe more easily and you do stop snoring. Give it a try, it’s only $25 and if it works for you – it’s well worth the price.
too bulky. I gave it 2 months to get used to, my GF still says i snore, i spit out the mouth piece midsleep because it’s for uncomfortable. you get what you pay for
I’ve had this snore guard for over a month now and have slept with it every night. It has almost completely stopped my snoring and sleep apnea. My husband says that he can still hear a very faint snore, but nothing like what I was doing before. My only problem is that the rubbery plastic material that this guard is made from has begun to irritate the tip of my tongue and the inside of my bottom lip. It feels like I’ve taken a sip of really hot coffee and burned the tip of my tongue. I’m starting to worry about long-term effects. I’m tempted to try other mouth guards on the market, but I really like how effective this one is. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to discontinue using it, but I can’t keep going around with a sore tongue. I’m thinking of wrapping it in plastic wrap tonight to see if that makes a difference. The irritation is not really bad enough that I wouldn’t still recommend the product as long as it doesn’t have any long-term effects. Also, my mouth guard arrived without the literature pictured and I wonder if it is a cheap imitation of the real product. There were some very basic directions printed on plain white paper with no logos or brochure.
I have been using this product for the past 3 weeks and it definately works. I sleep a quite a bit longer and quite a bit deeper. I also don’t wake up nearly as many times as I used to. I have recommended this product to friends and family. Although this doesn’t replace a sleep study and a professional assessment of your sleeping patterns, for the price it is definately a huge step forward. Unlike some other comments, I have had no problems with molding (just follow the instructions), no problem with drooling and no problems with discomfort, no problems with any foul/chemical odors. It just does what it supposed to.
I have also looked into different anti-sore pillows, wedge pillows, memory foam products, and CPAP machines. All of them were at least $100 upwards of several thousand. This is definately a huge bang for your buck.
I have tried several similar products and this is one of the least comfortable. It only slightly helps breathing, and was uncomfortable. To me, the fact that you are adding a tube to your nose means that the nostrils have to be that much wider in order for it work. It also didn’t seem to go in far enough to be effective. I believe it is over priced as it is only three sizes of rubber tubing with a notch cut out of it. I had much better luck with the nosovent.
The fact that there are multiple sizes and that it’s made out of surgical silicone is great. It’s soft and it includes a little storage case that lets you put the size tube that you chose into so that you can store it and the silicone won’t get dirty, but all four of them won’t fit in the case together.
My problem with the nasal airway opener is that it falls out. I wake up in the morning and I have to find it in the sheets. It’s good that I’m sleeping and I don’t have anyone to be waking up, but it hasn’t stopped me from snoring and i’m still not getting enough air when i sleep. Perhaps one could try a larger size, but I cannot. And that’s due to the nature of my nasal difficulties. I have a deviated septum from a broken nose years ago and a larger size agravates the very thin skin and causes nose bleeds. Mind you, i get these anyway and in no way shape or form would i say this product will cause your nose to bleed, but since my nose often bleeds anyway, this product was sadly not an ideal fit.
I have yet to successfully try other products, but i hope this information is helpful to you.
Okay, 5 stars for me too. I’ve used these for 2 weeks straight and know I won’t be able to sleep without them. I had nostril surgery 4 years ago to rebuild the walls for support and the right one is closing again. I found this on Amazon and although it’s pretty pricey, if it works like for me, it’s worth it. If you feel yourself forcing to breath then either the size is too large or you’ve placed them inside the nostril too deeply. Don’t worry about if they hang out, they don’t fall out (for me anyway). Thanx to all who took the time to write a review and give suggestions.
This product didn’t help my snoring at all. They are also over-priced at $24.94 in my opinion as they are nothing but flexible little plastic tubes. The tubes fit in my nose fine, but I could feel that they were there which was uncomfortable. My partner also told me that my snoring was actually worse the one night I wore them. I do better with breathe-right nasal strips. They aren’t perfect, but I do snore much less when I wear them. I’ll keep looking for a better solution.
When my husband developed a snoring habit it was almost impossible for me to get a good nights rest. It would get so bad that I would have to sleep on the couch! I researched snore remedies and came across Snore Hush and decieded to purchase a bottle for him. Let me tell you I couldnt be more satisfied with the results. This product really works! No longer am I up all night trying to block out those harsh snores! As a matter of fact his breathing now while sleeping is relaxing! I definitely will be re-ordering Snore hugh again and again.
This product works great. I needed something to keep my nasal passages open while sleeping. I tried several other products trying to find the best one. The Snoreben did the job. I now rest and breathe comfortably at night.
The cones are very small. My nostrills are not even large and these were far too small for me. Try Nozovent. A much more universal product.
I felt ashamed to have passed judgment on Snoreben without giving myself the time to adapt to this extraordinarily simple but effective product. I was somewhat frustrated when I found that the product was not meeting my initial expectation. Having bought 3 pairs of Snoreben, I felt like I have been ripped off. The frustration is a reaction to almost 2 decades of suffering from snoring without finding any means to overcome it.
Somehow, something in me told me that I should get back to using Snoreben and put some faith in this little product.
I have to admit that even though Snoreben was hard to adapt to initially, the first positive feeling that I felt when I used Snoreben was that the airflow in my nasal (passageway) felt a lot better. I could breathe easier even though it looks like something was sticking and blocking my passageway. And the best thing was that I no longer wake up to a dry and uncomfortable mouth!
So after using Snoreben for close to 2 months, I have POSITIVE feedback from my wife as well as a friend (after rooming with him during an outing) that my snoring has reduced a lot. Knowing that my snoring is not frighteningly loud and embarrassing is already a big step forward, and I know that with continued use of Snoreben, I will see improvements to my sleep and my marriage.
I bought this item and it is to small for an adult nose unless, you have a very small nose! I put it in and it cut down my air flow. I could breath better without it! It got here fast, but not worth it for me!
If it had a larger size diameter and the tubes were a bit longer it might be an ok device. Seems they only have *medium* and that seems *very small*!
Snoreben – Say Goodbye to Snoring and Hello to a Quiet Comfortable Nights Sleep
My husband has turned into a terrible snorer. Started a few years ago – mostly towards morning. Has gotten to the buzz saw stage where he starts nearly as soon as his head hits the pillow and goes all night until the alarm clock.
He tried the nose strips and sprays and everything else over the counter. Asked his doctor – advised to lose some weight, stop drinking alcohol, avoid certain foods. And none of that was going to happen with him in any consistency enough to possibly make a difference.
We were at the point of trying a mouth guard. Insurance won’t cover the ones the dentist’s provide (over $600 out of pocket!) unless he went the sleep study route and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Because we were now fighting over the bed at night (who has to go to the couch) we were ready to go thru this process even though there would still be no garuntee the snoring would stop.
Looked online and couldn’t find enough positive stuff to really point to any one mouth guard as being better over the other so I went with one that was, well, the cheapest. For less than $30 I felt it was worth a shot.
We have both now had 4 nights of totally uninterrupted sleep. Me not being forced to endure the noise and him not getting ‘nudged’ constantly. It was truly amazing as the very first night he used it he ceased totally in the snoring!
This device may not be for everyone’s needs but I highly recommend that if you were anywhere near in the same situation as us to definitely give this a try.
The packaging does say it needs to be replaced every 3-4 months – I will happily do this for the results we are getting.
Don’t bother, it’s a total waste of money!!!! I followed the directions to the letter and even used a timer. The plastic rolled up before I could pop it in my mouth. In addition, it shrank to the size for a toddlers use. My suggestion, go to your doctor &/or dentist and get the device from a professional. Short cuts do not work with this type of device!!!
