Meaningful truths on snoring Device
Posted by curesforsnoring on April 15th, 2010
While following the instructions PRECISELY, the mouthpiece melted into a ball in such a way that it simply could not be recovered. Bummer. I highly recommend trying to shape it with less heat and time than what is given in the instructions.
What's the most effective way to stop or reduce snoring?
Any devices that can be purchased on Ebay?What about that anti-snoring ring, is that any use?

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 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’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.
This device works and works well. I am a soft pallete snorer and my snoring has been getting worse the last several months. This mouthpeice has done the trick. By the third night my husband reports, my snoring stopped completely. I also wake up in the morning feeling great without my usual headaches. There is some discomfort in the begining, therefor I would recommend you gradually increase the time wearing from a few hours to overnight. This an amazing product and well worth the price. I wish I had ordered it years ago.
This mouthpiece works . It has significantly reduced my level of snoring. It is pretty easy to mold too. You can even redo it if you like. I let it boil a couple seconds longer than recommended, it makes it a bit softer and and easier to mold. The small disomfort of wearing this mouthpiece is well worth it. It may have saved my marriage.
I recieved this product read the paper that came with it tried to use it and still kept snoring. It is very uncomfortable and doesnt work.
Received the product in good timing. It was easy to mold and get used to. I have a moderate snoring issue and have tried many solutions out there. Nose strips , chin strap and more, but this works . It moves my jaw forward a bit and greatly improves my snoring situation according to my hubby. I am happy with this purchase.
This is a fantastic mouthpiece, comfortable to wear, and really stops the snoring. We were sleeping in separate rooms. I just couldn’t tolerate his snoring anymore. And now we’re back together.
I have been using the SnoreMeds mouthpiece for about 4 months now. I am using the third one and about to order a fourth. I have struggled with non-refreshing sleep for 10 years. The mouthpiece let me wake up refreshed! I do not feel drowsy and have much more energy throughout the day. Molding is not a big deal, just remember to push your jaw forward (comfortably) and bite down hard and hold it that way for at least half a minute. Then put the mouthpiece in ice-cold water. I do wake up with a slightly sore jaw/teeth on some days, but it lasts for a few minutes only.
Also, in my experience, the jaw does not remain in the intended position throughout the night. As I fall asleep, my jaws relax and the teeth are a little bit out of the mouthpiece. Despite this,the presence of the mouthpiece does keep the airway open by preventing the collapse of the upper palate.
Just to check, I slept on some days without the mouthpiece, and felt miserably drowsy the next day! I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and just could not do the CPAP. Although the manufacturers say the mouthpiece is not for those with sleep apnea, I would say it is good as a temporary remedy. I am now considering a dentist-made custom mouthpiece.
This review and recommendation is entirely based on my experience. Hope yours is similar too!
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!!!
The snoreclipse helped to reduce the level of snoring although it constantly fell off which kept me looking for it during the night. If you move constantly while sleeping this is not for you.
I had been buying these for over a year and they stopped stocking them so I found them here! Using them at night stops snorng and has helped prevent sinus infections which I used to always get.
I love this product. I have a deviated septum and if I don’t use this product, I simply can’t breathe. I wish they wouldn’t have taken these out of the stores but I am so glad these are available through Amazon! I’ve used the strips before but they make my nose sticky. These are better and last longer! Also, because they have magnets, I think they work better and I can get a better placement versus the clips that have the bigger balls on the end, those pinch and do nothing for my breathing.
