Nozovent Anti-Snore - 1 Pack

For someone with very small nostrils, this one does not fit. The oblong parts on the end are too big to fit in nostrils. I cut them down so they would fit. The outward pressure is pretty strong, but it centers on the little nubs, and isnt distributed evenly. However, I could see how this would work great for someone with bigger nostrils. I also got AirWay II which worked better, but was also too large.

Several weeks ago I decided I was frustrated by the stick on strips and wanted to try the in nose variety. I purchased several, and started testing. One just plain was too small even at one size fits all (adjustable). One other worked OK, but irritated my septum, so I would only be able to wear it from time to time.The 'Nozovent', just slightly irritates the outer inside of my nostrils, but not to such an extent that I cannot wear it nightly, but such that some mornings it is a bit sensitive, it does not touch my septum.I have been using it almost nightly for over a week, I wash it carefully every morning and return it to storage container. It seems to be a little less springy after use, and the container seems to restore that.The initial fit is just fine, the first few minutes of wearing it it is noticeably there but not painful. It feels as though it could pop out of one of my nostrils, but every morning it has been still in place just fine.I don't feel as though it opens my airways as much as the stick on strip do, one reason being that it seems to sit closer to the opening of my nose. Some of the other tested types protruded deeper into my nose and seemed to open better, but the irritation was too much. Luckily, it opens my nose sufficient that it will do for now, but if my airways were worse I would be concerned. I have noted that when I wake in the mornings, my airways are very open, where as when I just put the device in my breathing is not as easy.EDIT - 2014-12-19I have used this on and off for several months now, I found it not as effective as my now favorite and found that after several nights of use it sometimes irritated my nose, and the springiness was reduced, so not as effective. Still a 4 star product, and will use from time to time.

I've had sleep apnea and the associated "horrific snoring" most of my life. I even had major reconstructive jaw surgery and septum repair for it 21 years ago, which helped a bit, but it is still a problem. When our local postmaster said a few weeks ago, "I got rid of my snoring problem . . . I divorced him", I panicked about my wife's lack of sleep and ordered this item.It was like a breath of fresh air - a full breath. I slept better, my wife slept better and we were all happy.Until it fell out one night and now I can't find the damn thing. It's not that small, but I'm afraid it may have been vacuumed up. So now I am ordering 3 more. Yes, they do fall out on occasion (there are large size ones - maybe that's what I need, but I'm addicted to my Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping, so I'll stick with this one), but they really work for me, so it's worth the risk.By the way, I find that I also breath better in general both at night and during the day, even when I am not wearing this product. It could be that the expansion lasts a while. I've been missing mine for about 3 days and my breathing is beginning to deteriorate.

First off, a little background - 66 years old and have been using two Breathe-Rite strips nightly for years and years; in fact, since they first came out. My nostrils seem to be "medium" in size for the record. I recently decided to try some "in the nostrils" alternatives to the Breathe-Rite strips, as I'm finding that my skin isn't as tough as it used to be - I've been seeing some redness after removing the Breathe-Rite strips in the AM. The Nozovent product is the last in a long line of this in the nose product that I'm evaluating, so I'm no stranger anymore to sticking these things up into my nostrils. After a half dozen "installations" of this product, each and every install resulting in significant pain and multiple sneezing fits, back in the box this thing went! I honestly don't know what human being could use this conveyance; it seems more suited to a consenting farm animal. Maybe if I was from Scandinavia instead of being a dirty Hungarian gypsy, then this thing would work. The (sour) cherry on this sundae - No Return, No Refund! I guess I've got a $10.00 plastic case that I can put SOMETHING else in, since this torture device is going into the trash!

I have been using these for a long time and they work much better than those strips you put on the outside of the nose.I have a proplem with the picture showing 2 inside the box and only receiving one inside the box. They always come with 2 but mine only had one and the box was not packaged sealed.

When it works it works well. Sometimes it slips out of place during the night. But, that said, I have definitely noticed that on many nights it has reduced the "open mouth/ dry mouth wakeup". I'm buying a second one in case I lose this one.

feels hard against the wall of the nostrils, but does widen them. Will not repurchase because it slips out in the middle of the night plus it is uncomfortable. Seller was good though, shipped right away.
