GBCould not breathe I had a very hard time breathing with the Theravent strips on. When I first put them on, I felt as though I was suffocating. I had to make myself concentrate on breathing slowly and easily. Obviously, this isn't sustainable and I could not relax enough to sleep until I removed the Theravent strip.

GBTheravent excellent product My snoring issue had caused me and my husband to sleep in separate bedrooms. Tried Theravent and we are now back in the same room. I has been very happy solution. At the beginning shipping had some issues, but the company seems to be constantly improving and now my boxes arrive in plenty of time and I don't even think about it.

GBGreat for the snoring, awful for the user This is the one solution I have found to nightly snoring that is truly effective, however, I have a really difficult time using the product. In order to get the breathing right, I lie awake for at least an hour, sometimes longer. It takes much more than a week to get used to using it, and a month later, it is still not a pleasant experience for me. Yet, since it is effective, I will continue to use the product however begrudgingly.

GBSuccess story My husband has been using Theravent for 2 years. It has been a marriage saver for us. We were at the point where we were sleeping in separate rooms and it was horrible! But it was either that or I would get no sleep and be crappy and non productive the next day. I will say the product does what it says it does, which is that it won't "stop" the snoring but reduces the intensity to a tolerable level. I do in addition have to wear ear plugs. I know it sounds like a lot but after a while it becomes very routine. Lately, my husband has been accusing me of snoring (probably an age thing) so we're soon going to be a Theravent couple and if that allows us to continue sleeping together, we're ok wih that.

GBGood product, not for what I need Having used another, similar, product for sleep apnea - not snoring - I found Theravent for 1/3 the cost. Rather than two small holes (one for each nostril), there is one slightly larger hole in the center of a single unit. I found it more comfortable that the product I use, and thought it helped equally well until, after a week, I found myself exhausted. I returned to the other product, but thought this might be a good product for something other than what I was using it for.
