Good 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.

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.

Fantastic Product I bought these for my husband because his snoring had gotten so bad that I literally could not sleep in the same room. He wore them every night for 3 months, then forgot them for 2 days. We realized during those 2 days that he was no longer snoring, and his snoring has completely stopped! Somehow the Theravent strips retrained his nose and he now breathes fine with no snoring AT ALL! Yay - sleep for me.

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.

Another option I have sleep apnea and thorougly hate my bi-pap machine. I am always looking for more transportable and less evasive remedies. I was somewhat successful with a dental appliance, but it got damaged and there is a lot of money out of pocket for that device. I had great hope for Theravent, but for me it works kinda sometime. I have a hard time positioning it just right and even if I have I am not sure. I wish the vent areas wear larger or there was some sure way to know it was positioned and working properly. I believe this is a product that could free a lot of Cpap and bipap users, by tweaking it a little bit.
