Doesn't Constrict Breathing
The media could not be loaded. I worry. It's what I do. I worried this would be like trying to breathe through a straw. it's not. I can breathe just fine through it. I worried I would feel goofy wearing it. I don't. It looks like jewelry. I worried that I would be shut down by the critical voice in my head that tells me I should be able to just breathe on my own without a gadget. I'm not. Because the fact is, for whatever reason I don't understand, I can't 'focus on my breath'. Doing so makes me nauseous. I do NOT calm down; I panic when I think too much about my breath. Go figure. Yet I know that physiologically, breathing properly DOES reduce anxiety, and I really do need all the tools I can get to reduce the anxiety. So I gave this a try, and what I'm finding is that having this tool and focusing on the breathing through the tool, takes away the panic nausea of focusing on the breath. I get some nice deep breaths in. I get some good full exhales out. And I feel better, right away! I also like the tactile sensation of this little breathing tool. It makes a handy fidget gadget. Also, just having it around my neck reminds me to be more mindful of my breathing in general, so I find I'm doing less of that open mouthed shallow breathing with barely any exhale thing that I do when I'm stressed out. This necklace looks pretty simple, but that just means it's going to be easy to clean; yet another plus. And it's giving me some good help. I appreciate that.

Ok
I just wish that there was more resistance. Discolored my neck too

Neat relaxing tool
Very cool necklace to help with fidgeting or slow breathing. It is a cute necklace, and fun to breathe through for meditation or relaxing purposes.

Love this as a tool for anxiety
I’ve read about these to help in relieving anxiety so I decided to try this one out. It came packaged very very nicely, included a little cleaning cloth and some cute cards to remind you to breathe and relax that you can lay around your house or on a wall board as a reminder. The instrument is attached on a medium silver chain. It’s like a little whistle so when you are feeling anxious you inhale and then blow out the air thru one side of the device and as you are blowing out slowly (which is key to helping calm the nervous system) it makes a soft whistling sound, I noticed when I would breathe out faster it wouldn’t make the whistling sound so it reminded me (and helped take my mind off the anxious feelings) to breathe out slower. It’s like a refocus which I think is great especially when the anxiety hits out of the blue. It’s great also that it’s on the silver chain so you can wear all day and hide under your clothing.Very pleased with this and I will be purchasing more of these to give as gifts to friends and family that I know deal with anxiety as well.

Nicely made but has a couple of flaws
Comes very nicely packaged, with a polishing cloth and a great little pouch to hold it in. There are 6 identical cards but I'm not sure why they are included.The first thing you notice is that the necklace is substantial. Both the chain and the tube are made well. It's polished and looks like something you would be happy to wear around your neck as a necklace. Unfortunately, the immediate deal breaker for me is that the tube has writing on both sides of it - the brand name on one side, and a saying on the other. Neither are necessary nor provide any value, and this ruins it for me as anything I would actually wear as an accessory. If you don't mind the writing, and the inevitable, "What's that say?" focus on your chest, then you'll be fine.The tube is wider than I've seen in other tubes. In essence you are just blowing through an open tube, which you could do with something like a straw or other object, or nothing. The value is in the breathing exercises, but the tube neither adds or subtracts from the outcome of that.It's thoughtful and nicely made, but no one wants to walk around as a brand ambassador, so that misses the mark significantly. Future tubes could be a bit narrower. Three stars from me.

I'm blown away by it's beauty (see what I did there)
I am autistic, and have struggled with anxiety as long as I can remember. Recently, it's gotten intense, occasionally debilitating. I've been making minor, but impactful life changes, and working on methods to help me better control and cope.This necklace is a huge help, not just with helping relax me, but also with my attention to breathing. My interoception is usually either really weak or super intense. So there's times where I'll be breathing really fast and heavy without really realizing.. and Also, more often, I'll (for lack of better description) 'forget' to breath. When I catch myself doing either, this helps to regulate calm and me.But look, pictures online or that I've taken here do not come even close to capturing the beauty of this necklace! The quality is amazing. It comes with cute cards with breathing quotes, a pretty suede like pouch, and a shining cloth, in a magnetic close box. I will mention, the chain is a bit longer than I thought, but it's got to reach the mouth to serve it's purpose 😅I really would recommend this for anyone, but if you struggle with anxiety, certainly give this a try!

This works
This anxiety whistle l came beautifully packaged and ready to use out of the box. I got this for my son because he suffers from anxiety and had few tools at his disposal when he started back to school. He’s able to wear this around his neck during the school day and use it as necessary without disrupting class. He likes knowing he has it as an option and over time his need for it has lessened. He still enjoys having it “just in case”.

Just okay
It’s bigger than I expected and I’ll probably never wear it. I might carry it in my pocket, though, because it does help with mindful breathing when I’m too anxious to do it on my own.
