Better Than Mouth Tape for Sleeping MEW X AIR The 24 Hour Nose Breathing & Oxygen Enhancing Kit/Put Toxic Mouth Tape Sleep Tape & Nasal Strips in The bin/Reusable & Durable // Get Peak Performance

My Airsense 11 was showing about 25 AHI / hr and I spent days where all I could do was sleep. My CPAP therapist did a completely inadequate job. All they ever told me was I "needed an in-clinic sleep study." That may be ultimately necessary, but I knew I had to take my therapy under my control first. After getting the OSCAR app, I could see the relationship between large air leaks and serious sleep anomalies including Cheyne-Stokes respiration and various other type of apneas leading to awakening removal of the mask. Because my mouth would be quite dry in the morning, I knew I was sleeping with my mouth open. I tried mouth tape for a few nights, but found it completely unnatural. I wouldn't even consider a chin strap. But after using this device for two nights, my AHI is down to *** FIVE *** and my mouth is no longer dry. I had a few major concerns regarding this device: It would be awkward or uncomfortable, but that is not the case at all. It would cause excessive salivation, but after just a few hours of use during the day, I adjusted completely. That I would have problems with a stuffy nose not allowing enough air i.e. I needed to mouth breathe, but with the nasal mask, that was not the case. Finally, I was concerned that I would not be able to wear my night guard on my lower teeth, but surprisingly, it actually made the breathing device more comfortable as it no longer touched my lower gums or inner mouth. I use a saline spray to clear my nostrils before bed, and also use fluticasone. If the device gets a funky smell, I advise using an alcohol free xylitol mouthwash to kill bad bacteria. That cleared up all morning odors from my mouth guard. Honestly, this is a life changer for me.

It is a waste of money and it cannot be returned. I realize in the fine print it says you can return eligible items within a certain time frame, but apparently this item is not eligible. I keep my mouth open at night so when I wake up in the morning it's very dry. I'm a CPAP user but I had the inspire therapy implanted about 6 months ago. It works great. The inspire therapy but I still drop my mouth open at night and wake up with very dry mouth and throat. This item did not work for me. I could not keep my lips closed over the mouthpiece when I put it in my mouth. I have excessive saliva production and drooling and I feel like I can't swallow. I only tried it one night. It was horrible. My jaw was actually sore the next morning from trying to make it comfortable in my mouth. Thank goodness it's only $15.99. I have tried other mouth guards and things like that which had similar issues. At least I got a refund for those and I didn't even have to send them back to the company. Good luck!

Don’t let the bad reviews sway you. This mouth guard has been the best purchase I’ve made in 10 years. Snoring impacts your health and relationships. It’s a big issue. Personally, I want to make sure I’m breathing correctly for 8 hours and that anyone who sleeps near me also has the opportunity to get 8 solid hours of sleep. Prior to this product, I tried multiple products including other mouth devices, septum surgery, snorelase laser treatments (extremely painful), mouth tape, pillows, and tennis balls for side sleeping. You mane it, I’ve tried it. Within 3 days of sleeping with this, snoring gone. Completely gone. Yes, it take a while to get used to. It’s not comfortable, but it’s not incredibly uncomfortable either. Your mouth will adjust. Give it two weeks. This product has literally changed my life in the best possible ways. It keeps me from grinding my teeth, it keeps my breathing steady and solid through the night, and it stops my snoring completely. I will NEVER go back to life before this product. It’s been that life changing for me. The proof is in the photographs. Data is data, and this product works. My snore score, before and after. 75 to ZERO. It works.

I’m a nose breather so I didn’t need to use the training piece. This didn’t work for me. I tried it for two nights and still woke up in the morning with a dry throat and mouth. I did find that the device was lightweight and well designed. Again, didn’t work for me hopefully it will for you.

I was hopeful this would be better than tape, but it did not work for me. I have tried a mouth product before and it didn't work, but it was larger and protruded the lower jaw. This was much simpler and more comfortable. I didnt have the problems other people had. Sure I produced saliva, but I could swallow it without difficulty. I only wore it one and a half nights, but it didn't hurt me like the first one did. If you've been wearing tape as long as I have, it's really unobtrusive and I don't think about it. Sometimes I take it off while sleeping, but most often I don't. The first night I wore this product I was so aware it was there. I feel like I didn't sleep well that night. Last night was my second night and I woke up with my mouth wide open and the product still in place. Tbh, when I opened the package my first thought was, how does this keep my mouth shut? Well, it didnt keep mine shut. To me, with mixed reviews it was worth the money to try it. Sadly for me it didn't work.

EDIT: After my original review (1 star), the seller kindly contacted me and took care of my problem. Changing my review was not a condition but I do want to give it more stars now, because even though the product didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for somebody else. It's well-made product, by a small US business, and their goal is make customers happy. Which I am happy now, again. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was searching for something else than a mouth tape (I used to love my PapMD tape, but it gave my lips some kid of allergy). I found this product and it sounded just perfect, so I got it. Unfortunately, nothing that it promised happened. I gave it a try for so many nights. Stopped, then started again. Always the same result. While the silicone is soft, and it may look like it's going to be like a nice adult pacifier, it is actually really uncomfortable in my mouth. Feels kind of too big, I cannot even close my lips, so suddenly my bottom lip/jaw is hanging who knows where. The lips get really dry and the inside of my mouth too (even though, it truly doesn't allow for mouth breathing). I could not get comfortable with that thing, waking up every 20 minutes and was so aware of the guard being there. Also, in the morning, when I took it out, it felt like my teeth were "hurting", sort of weird numbness on all my teeth. Maybe from the guard pushing against my teeth all the night? I don't know. I gave it a chance to get used to it, but it never got better. My mouth was drier than without using anything (tape or guard). Plus the falling jaw is not fun either. The tape was actually holding the lips/jaws nicely together. And lastly, you cannot return this product. So for that reason I felt compelled to write this review, it promises too much, doesn't deliver, and you cannot return it. Too bad, I wanted to like it because I like to support small businesses.

The first time I used this it seemed to work perfectly but in all subsequent uses, I woke up with my jaws aching and my teeth feeling “jangled” like that feeling you get right after a dental visit for a deep cleaning.

This has been a very impactful find for me. It very definitively enforces nose breathing and has been very helpful in reducing the incidence of sleep apnea for me. I was ready to try mouth tape, but I imagined that being problematical in a number of ways. (I have a modest beard.) On the negative side: the flexible silicon plate that fits behind the lips and in front of the teeth was giving me a fair amount of discomfort because it seemed to dig down into my gums at the bottom corners. I was about to try trimming the device to make it shallower on the bottom when I discovered that one side of it is *slightly* shallower already than the other. There's a small notch on the top side, but I don't recall anything in the documentation that said anything about the orientation being important (and it looks symmetrical unless you look quite closely). Anyway, I started making a point of keeping the notched side up, and it is indeed given me less problems. The package includes two versions of the device: a black one with an attached cord, and a white one without. The docs say use the black one for sleeping and the white one only for practicing while awake. But they seem identical except for a holed nub on the black one that permits affixing the cord. Seems to me that they could just give you two of the night-ready ones instead of making you pay 20 bucks for, effectively, one device. I contacted with to ask whether there was any other difference between the two guards than the cord attachment nub, and I never got a response. Having said all that, though: the device is the most effective, and cost-effective thing I've found for reducing sleep apnea. I tried several radically different styles of oral appliances and a CPAP machine. All started, and stayed, uncomfortable and sleep-disturbing. Just now I'm experimenting with a chin strap in combination with a conventional athletic teeth guard. That is showing some promise as well. But this device has been the greatest and most immediate bang-for-buck winner.

My nights are always better when using this mouthpiece.

This five cents of cheap plastic that sells for 25 bucks is a complete rip off. It is useless to stop mouth breathing, and just flops around and wakes you up more than the snoring. It is not even useful as a mouth guard. Do not buy.

After trying several kinds of mouth tape I stumbled across MEW-X and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! This little device is comfortable to wear and very effective at keeping the air passage open. Way more convenient than the tape (and a million times more so than C-Pap) and now I don't wake myself up numerous times in the night snoring. I don't wake up with dry mouth anymore either. Oddly enough my nasal passages have become clearer both at night and during the day, an added bonus.

Didn’t work for me , just falls out , or gets dry

This is just a mouth guard , I paid 30 $+ for two plastic mouth guard no box just came in a bag with a cord , if you use this it’s just like a mouth guard , there is so much saliva build up , don’t how can you sleep , I’m scared this is actually going to choke you in sleep .
