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.

GBHorrible customer service I ordered a sample pack... didn't see any fine print that they then automatically set up future shipments. I called, got nowhere, so sent an email, requesting to cancel all future shipments, as the product didn't work for me, and asking how to get a refund of the 2nd package I had received. Got a very nice email with a return/refund confirm# and an address to send back stating once they rec'd the pkg, they would issue a refund. From that point, even with confirmation that they had rec'd the returned pkg, they refused to issue a refund. I even got my bank involved, all to no avail. I understand not every product will work for eveyone, but better customer service would've generated a postive review from me about the company at least.

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.

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.

GBAnother 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.
