Theravent helps prevent snoring over 50% of the time Theravent is helpful however on nights when I have a stuffy nose or when I don't get it placed just right it either makes me miserable (not being able to breathe) or if I loosen it, then my partner hears the snoring. Overall, the product is helpful and many nights it is working. I encourage you to continue working on products that prevent snoring. I tried the "lite" version. I can't see any difference in the screening material however the tape seems to be less and more difficult to use.

Could 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.

Success 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.

Great 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.

This product works! but the sticky stuff is uncomfortable My spouse reports a nearly-complete cessation of snoring, even with Theravent Lite. I wake up feeling better rested, too, when I use it. But I have thin, sensitive skin, and the sticky stuff really bothers the skin under my nose. I can't wear it for more than 2 nights in a row, and often find myself ripping it off in the middle of the night because my nose hurts. I don't know what you could do about that, but if it could somehow stick a little more gently, I'd use it every night. People who want to try the product, be sure to read ALL the instructions - for example the part about breathing (at least breathing out) through your mouth until you fall asleep. Once you fall asleep, just as they say, you'll naturally start breathing through your nose and the product will do its job. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact the company - they're super helpful.
