Anyone used a SnoreRx mouthpiece?

** UPDATED at bottom **

Hello, I'm probably going to order a SnoreRx device (Mandibular Adjustment Device) to try out today since there's a Cyber Monday deal, but I was curious to hear if anyone on here has had any experience with these and can share.

My thoughts:

- Fairly skeptical that a snoring solution exists and isn't widely reported on
- Not ridiculously expensive
- The mechanism does make superficial sense for reducing snoring
- Cleaning is a hassle
- It'll really put a damper on first impressions with a new girl
- There's a likelihood of jaw pain, though they say you can adjust it and your mouth does get accustomed

Anyway, please do share your experience. I still have a few hours before the deal ends.

Thanks!

** UPDATE **
I went ahead and ordered the device just now. Should get here sometime next week, I imagine. I'll update with my results, if anyone's interested, so...let me know if you're interested!

Been there; done that. This is actually mainly for myself to get a good night's sleep. I occasionally wake up realizing I've been holding my breath.

You need that sleep breathing machine then. My brother used one and it worked, and he slept well. He would stop breathing at times when he slept.Tell your doc. It might be covered on your insurance.

Yeah, that's the CPAP. I've considered it, but it's an actual motor and harness system strapped to your face at night! Not sure if the cure isn't worse than the disease.

Thanks for the advice, though. Much appreciated.

If your ins covers it it might be worth a try. Went to visit my brother and we had to share a bedroom. I was in the same room and I slept good.It really isnt very loud. It was actually kind of soothing.Your condition contributes to Heart disease I think. Sleep Apnea hurts you over the long run. Good Luck.

Yes, I've heard of the negative effects. Frown Curiously, I'm not at all overweight. I think I just have very lazy throat muscles. They seem to slack as soon as no one's lookin'!

I appreciate your thoughtful comments.

The way you describe a CPAP "it's an actual motor and harness system strapped to your face at night! " makes it sound like the motor is also strapped to your face.

It's just a breathing mask. Some just cover your nose, some mouth and nose and some the whole face (some people actually ask/want that ). The also make one that is like a snorkel, just two small tubes that just barely go into your nostrils and is about the smallest "mask" you can get.

Also of note is that you can't snore with a CPAP on. bulb

OP should speak with the doc and hopefully get a sleep study done.

I tried one of these years ago, and I simply spit the mouthpiece out when I was sleeping. I don't think I ever went through a whole night with it in, and my partner indicated it didn't appreciably help the snoring.

And for real, if you're waking up because of sleep apnea, you need to talk to a doc. It can be more serious than people think.
