Nose Breathe for Heavy Snorer

Post by buckeyered » Tue Sep 12, 2006 6:34 pm

I did a search and found plenty of info on the "Nose Breathe" but not the
"Nose Breathe for Heavy Snorer" I have the nosebreathe but it does not help me much as my tongue slides off the shelf soon after falling asleep, Dr. Sue says I need the "Nose Breathe for Heavy Snorer" but I really don't want to shell out an additional 208.95 without talking to someone who has tried it. Will the
"Nose Breathe for Heavy Snorer" keep the tongue parked on the shelf so the seal is not lost? Any other info on this device is appreciated.

Just my little opinion: Spend the money on a Hybrid and with the difference take your honey out for cheeseburgers and banana splits.

buckeyered, I've not tried either one, but a message board member named "Ellen" did order both. As best I can remember, the regular one works fine for her, but the two piece for "Heavy Snorers" did not. I can't recall what she told me made the two piece device not suit her, but she ended up taking that one apart to use just the top.

If you haven't already tried this, you might want to experiment making yourself a "Do It Yourself" thingie. Can be a lot of trial and error making it, but the silicone athletic mouth guards are cheap. I've made several that work very well. Another poster (snork1) did, too.
