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.

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.

GBThis 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.

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.

GBTakes a couple days to get used to... I've been snoring my entire adult life, but it has gotten much worse in the last few years. It's gotten so bad, that I started sleeping in a separate bedroom from my wife. I tried theravent and was discouraged the first night - it felt foreign and weird on my nose. But I stuck with it and on the second night, I slept through no problem. Best of all, the snoring stopped (I have an app to measure how much i snore). On the fourth night, I tried sleeping back in old room and...success. My wife said she didn't hear a thing. It feels so good to have some hope on this again - the snoring was really taking a toll on my self esteem and my marriage.
