Snore Therapy Strips, Maximum Strength, Tackle the Toughest Snoring, Bed Partner Approved, Max Strength, 20 Count

UPDATE 10/15/15: Theravent continues to work extremely well. It has been six months of no snoring and restful sleep. Even better, we have found that these are durable enough to be used up to four nights in a row and still work like new. On the fifth night the air valves are broken down too much and doesn't produce any pressure. Still love these and will continue to buy and recommend to others. UPDATE 6/30/15: Theravent is still working as well as the first night. Nothing has ever worked for more than a week or so. It really does help keep the airway open to prevent snoring. I did notice that if my husband lays on his back, he will snore lightly. If he lays on either side, absolute quiet bliss. These have been a real lifesaver for both of us. He doesn't stop breathing multiple times per night, and I get to sleep. I have about one months worth left. I love these so much, I will be buying a years supply. You can buy a large supply like that directly from the manufacturer. I highly recommend. UPDATE 5/20/15: This is still working perfectly. I just ordered more. My husband is not snoring at all. His airway is staying open. No more gasping for air during sleep. We both sleep so much better now. I have a hard time believing all of the negative reviews, especially since most of them are not amazon verified purchases. My husband has facial hair and these are easily applied and they work. This is not a C-Pap or Bi-pap, it is an EPap (expiratory positive airway pressure) system. It works so well my next order will be a one year supply directly from theravent. Highly recommend! I have tried many other anti snoring devices for my husband over the years, but this one is a miracle. My husband did not snore once. He falls asleep immediately while it takes me longer to fall asleep. I heard no snoring until I fell asleep. I woke up during the night and still no snoring. I was up early morning before he was and still no snoring. I was impressed. It does say don't use if you have a stuffy nose or blocked nose. My husband has a deviated septum which decreases airflow to his nose on one side. He still used the ravens and has great success. He also enjoyed some adult beverages before bed which usually make his snoring like having a jet engine in my ear. All I heard was normal breathing. I will update if results change.

These are recommended to me by my doctor, because I do snore. However, it is not due to sleep apnea. He recommended this brand, because they were cheaper than the prescription brand that he could get for me. Occasionally, they do come loose, which is frustrating. But, 99% of the time they work perfectly. I have found I need to wash my face right before I put them on, so my skin doesn't build up any oils preventing it from sticking. It does take a few tries before you get the hang of it, and get used to it, but once you do, You don't notice them anymore. The only downfall is dry mouth and chopped lips from having to breathe through my mouth. But, that's the point of these things. Restricting air flow through your nose, keeping your airway open to stop snoring. I no longer feel the need to go into the living room because I'm afraid of waking up my significant other. And, he in turn, is going to the living room less because I'm not snoring.

These little things would be amazing if they actually were easy to use. As it is, these are virtually impossible to get a tight seal with. And if you don’t have a tight seal, they aren’t any good at all. I’ve resorted to using medical tape around the edges. And, I still get air leaks and then have to readjust the tape. It’s like trying to plug holes in an inter tube after it’s been shot with porcupine quills. The darn thing leaks from here there and everywhere. After much fussing, I usually am able to get an airtight seal. The air pressure is so nice, and I wake up the next morning feeling like I can actually breathe through my nose (which most of the time feels permanently stuffed)

I snore really loud and recently on a family vacation kept everyone awake. Bought this product after trying a mouth guard and something that is inserted in my nose. I couldn't get used to then. Been using these strips for 2 weeks and my wife says they muffle my snoring a lot to the point that it allows her to sleep. I will try for a month and see how it goes. Thinking of combining with chin strap. I feel that if you snore really loud, almost nothing you buy will completely stop you from snoring so the best you can do is get something easy to use and comfortable that you can realistically wear every day or days you have a sleeping partner. I will update this review if I remember:)

I have tried so many things to reduce my snoring. Pillows, nasal sprays/oil, custom fitted mouth guard, Breathe Right strips, side sleeping, two rounds of somnoplasty, several nasal dilators (Mute was the best), mouth tape. Some products helped, but not enough and not all the time. I have not tried chin straps, Smart Nora, or snoring exercises, mainly because I found this product. The Theravent Max strips work for me. The Snore Lab app confirms it. It does stop you from breathing out through your nose normally and you have to breath through your mouth when you first go to bed. Though trial and error, the best results come when my breathing out through the nose is blocked as much as possible. There is an exhaust hole that I try to line up with the middle of my nose so that the space between the hole and my nose is minimized. I am not sure why that works better for me, but it does. If I can breathe out too easily, my snoring is louder, although still less than without the strip. I peel off the strip and reapply until the resistance breathing out is very high. I have thought of blocking the hole entirely, but have not had to do it thus far. The strips can start to become annoying the longer you wear them. I stopped putting them on until right before bed. I do tend to take them off if I wake up during the night if there are only a couple of hours to go before waking up. The strip makes it hard to scratch your nose. I tried regular first, but max had better results. Years of snoring and trying so many expensive, uncomfortable products. Years of listening to complaints, now also quiet. My sleep quality is better. I wake up without an alarm and more refreshed. It may not work for you and you may have to play around with it until you get them to work well. Still, it is worth it if you can get them to work for you in my opinion. Good luck. Hope they work for you.

I purchased this product in the hope that it would alleviate snoring. I never actually got that far in the process, as applying it properly isn't the most easiest of tasks. After wasting the first 2 of the package of 20, I finally decided to watch an online video showing the proper technique for placing this on your nose. After finally getting it right, I felt like I was suffocating. The manufacturer states that you should breathe through your mouth, than after you fall asleep, your slower rate of breathing will allow you to inhale through your nose as you normally would, and exhale with some degree of pressure. Well, I can tell you that from my experience this product was a total failure. After following the instructions exactly as stated, I went to bed breathing through my mouth. About an hour later, I woke up gasping for breath, as this device literally starved me of oxygen. Perhaps this works for some people, maybe those who have a death wish. Since I choose to live another day, the remaining 17 strips were placed in the trash. This is among the worst and to some degree, one of the most dangerous products that I've used in my entire life. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. If you like the feeling of being suffocated, go right ahead and purchase it, otherwise steer clear.

I usually don't leave feedback but I have to for these. I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea a month ago. I tried on the different CPAPs but none of them was going to work. I was desperate and determined to find a different solution than the machine. I did some research to find EPAP like Provent but I needed a RX to try. Then I read they had a OTC version. I ordered the max which is their phase 2 in the RX version. I've been wearing it for 3 days and went from 119 to a 6 in my SnoreLab app. I couldn't believe it when I saw this! It takes some time getting used to as I still am. I do breathe through my mouth while awake and as I'm drifting off to sleep, I try to slow down my breathing a bit to just breathe through my nose since this is what your body does naturally and allows you to breathe through these. I noticed sleeping on my side is the best so my mouth doesn't come open at night which is what I think happened the first two nights getting a 41. I'm going to order a chin strap like they recommend. Since these are working so great, I'm going to ask my doc to write me a script for the RX version since my insurance will pay for it. These are a life saver!

Might as well call these miracle strips. Previously, we'd tried just about everything short of a sleep study. My fiancé snores really loudly, and unfortunately for us, it's the one sound that I can't sleep through no matter what. I wore sleep headphones blasting white noise over earplugs, he tried breathe-right strips--all for seemingly nothing. You name it, we've tried it. We'd pretty much resigned ourselves to sleep in separate beds, which made both of us miserable. When we googled "my spouse snores like a freight truck" these popped up in one of the search results. We figured it'd be another case of dashed hopes, but worth a shot. They arrived right on time and we were nervously eager to try them out. My fiancé says the sensation took a little getting used to--especially since if it was placed wrong it would tug on his mustache. It also took a little while to find a good seal to keep whistling from happening, and he says that having to breathe through his mouth before getting to sleep took a little getting used to. They also tend to come off if there's moisture around the nostrils, so it helps to dry things off around there before you put them on. He tried a few "test snores" to see how it held up before we went to bed, and it successfully mitigated that. We went to sleep and woke up the next morning ecstatic that there was no snoring whatsoever during the night! Now we only wake up if I've stolen the blankets and need to give them back. I only wish I could find theravent in stores so we could get it more immediately should we forget that we're running low! Both of us highly recommend this product. It's amazing.
