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.

Theravent Max has been wonderful from Day 1 I had been using the regular Theravent for about a year and noticed that it wasn't as effective on my snoring as time went on. I was losing the firmness when breathing out during the night so decided to move to Theravent Max once it became available. From the first night I tried it, it was much more comfortable than the regular Theravent. I like the thicker Max and it stays firm from the time I put it on until I take it off. Even my husband has noticed.

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.

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.
