I have been using this nasivent tube for several weeks now and have enjoyed good results from it. Too little airflow through my right nostril is a key problem for me, so I surmise this product would be quite helpful for people with deviated septums. The Nasivent tube has fallen out of my nose a couple times while asleep, but this is not due to poor product quality, but rather my abnormal nasal anatomy that makes fitting the tube into my right nostril a bit tricky (I have implanted alloderm tissue on my right lateral wall that compensates for a removed inferior turbinate, and the tube bumps into that). If my nose was normal, it would probably fit snug, as it does in my left nostril. The silicone material is quite comfortable and, as soon as I place it in my nose, I can sense the air I am inhaling significantly better. It's like air whips right into my nose.

I use this product in combination with an oral appliance and, together, both have effectively solved my sleep apnea. As a result, my sleep quality is excellent now, for the first time in years. No more guessing on whether I will wake up feeling restful or tired. Rather, I always wake up rested whenever using this combination, and I in fact have found that I sleep better with this than with the CPAP, the latter of which can be noisy and takes much more maintenance. No more CPAP for me!

I highly recommend the nasivent tube.

Nasivent Product review:

I am a side-sleeper. I have allergies and tend to get sinus infections. I was having trouble breathing through my nose at night. I've felt tired in the morning for years and would sometimes wake up during the night feeling like I couldn't breathe through my nose.

I did wake up a couple times during the first two nights because it was strange to have something in the nose, but after two nights I no longer noticed it.

After the first night, I couldn't believe how rested I felt in the morning. Nasivent definitely helps open the airways more than when I don't have it in. Apparently I hadn't been getting enough air during the night due to blocked nasal passages and sleep apnea. When I started using this product, I felt more rested in the morning than I had in years.

Snoring reduction was only a side issue for me as my main concern was trouble breathing at night, but this product quieted down my snoring. My wife says my snoring was reduced in frequency and volume, although not completely gone. This product may be most helpful to reduce snoring for people who snore due to blocked or narrow nasal passages or congestion from allergies or sinus infection.

My Ear, Nose, Throat doctor said these are similar to what he calls 'nose cones' which he said perform a similar function. I know this particular product works well for me.

My Allergist also had me try Breathe Right external nasal strips, but after a couple weeks they caused a lot of irritation on the outside of my nose. For me the Nasivent worked as well or better than the Breathe Right strips and the cost of nasal strips adds up quickly since they are not re-usable.

Helpful hint - push the tubes in your nose to a comfortable depth. If there is still tube sticking out of your nose, you can trim off that amount from that section of tube. This way the tube is flush with the outside of your nose, which makes wearing it MUCH more comfortable and makes it less likely you'll knock it out during sleep. I've found I can use 2 of the 4 sizes that came in the package, but I do need to trim them at different lengths as the wider size does not go in comfortably to the same depth.

If you have sinus congestion problems that are keeping you from sleeping at night, here are two other things that really helped me:

1) I use NeilMed sinus wash with their 8oz squeeze bottle twice per day to minimize congestion and to flush all of the yucky stuff out NeilMed Sinus Rinse.

2) I find the sinus wash even MORE effective if I add 1 to 2 tablespoons (1/2 to 1 oz) of Alkalol to the 8oz NeilMed Sinus Rinse solution. Alkalol will clear your sinuses like nobody's business and has REALLY improved my sleep! If you look at the Amazon product reviews for Alkolol, you will see it has VERY POSITIVE reviews. If you like the Alkalol sinus wash, an inexpensive way to buy it is using Amazon's "subscription" service which delivers it once per month with no shipping fee.

IMPORTANT - Nasivent mainly addresses the shape of your nasal passages and keeps your nasal passages open. If you are having trouble breathing at night, please consider talking to your doctor about getting a sleep study. It may be obstructive sleep apnea which may require a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine (CPAP) instead of, or in addition to, Nasivent. Fixing your nose with Nasivent, Snorepin, BreatheRight strips or even sinus surgery (I tried them all) may only address a symptom, not the root cause. I used Nasivent successfully for many months, then had sinus surgery, but eventually found I had a larger root cause which was severe obstructive sleep apnea and I needed to go on a CPAP machine. If you can't breathe at night, talk to an Ear Nose Throat, Pulmonary or Sleep Medicine specialist. Not breathing at night is just dying in slow motion, it's really not good for your body and can lead to many heart and other issues.

I was a little skeptical about any product that can cure snoring, but not anymore--this product works! My wife and I had gotten used to waking up in separate beds as I would leave when awakened by her snoring. It's comfortable, high quality and fits well. In fact, we both use them. With 4 sizes in a package, one fits me and the smaller one works for my wife. Now we're both happy and sleeping well--together.

The Nasivent Tube works for me. My wife is pleased and both of us are sleeping better. It is easy to use and not uncomfortable. I would strongly advise anyhone with snoring problems to give it a try.

I have been the perpetrator of nasal snoring (as opposed to throat snoring) for many years. (sorry, dear wife!) I have tried a great number of interventions - some of which do not apply because it is dependent on my sleeping position, some of which did not work for a variety of reasons.

The most common devices to keep the nasal passages open are the strips that adhere to the outside of the nose: great if they have enough force to do their job and enough adhesive to keep them there. Not so great with that sticky remnant every morning unless they have already peeled off overnight.

Some in-the-nose devices have worked better to keep the nasal passages open, but they were far from comfortable. Anything with sufficient clamp to hang onto your septum overnight is going to be annoying.

So, when I saw Nasivent I thought I would give it a try. Made from surgical grade silicone tubing, the four sizes provided will surely include one that fits your nose. I found that two worked well with me. The beauty of this system is that the tubing cannot collapse and within moments of insertion is almost impossible to notice. (I have, on occasion, gone to scratch my nose after I have inserted the tubing and am reading before sleep and startled myself to feel the Nasivent there - had forgotten it was in already.)

The results? Much better, uninterrupted sleep! Welcome back in with my sweetie. More energy during the day.

And it is so simple and almost invisible to the casual observer - had an overnight in coach on the AutoTrain recently and no one seemed to notice I had my Nasivent in but I do know that I got 8 hours of great sleep and when asked no one around me had heard any snoring.

If you have exhausted all the other "remedies" and are still exhausted after a night's sleep interrupted by too many snorts, try the Nasivent.

I have NEVER woken up with one of these in my nose, no matter how many times I put it back in during the night. AND they are translucent, which makes them virtually impossible to find! I only have 1 left after 2 weeks of use because of that.

I can't get the large sizes in my (apparently small) nose, but even the small size fits perfect on one side of my nose, and won't go all the way in on the other side. One side of my nose is very narrow due to a deviated septum, and adding a silicone tube to it just flattens the tube and leaves LESS room for air flow. If you don't have a deviated septum, then maybe this will work for you, but I don't see how people are keeping them from falling out during the night??

I like the bottle nipple idea. Might try it, rather than pay [...] bucks for 15c worth of materials.

Very useful and comfortable. I have a very large nose so I cut off the strip that holds the two nozzles together and can now insert each one separately and more deeply into nostrils without any risk of falling/pulling out. Cut apart and try this way if you have problems.

This Nasivent anti-snoring aid is incredible. My husband loves it. Suddenly he is not waking up to my snoring. It fits lightly into the nose and doesn't fall out. I have tried other devices, and this is the only one that works. Since I often go to retreats where I have to sleep in the same room with a group of people, it is a lifesaver (sleepsaver) for all those who formerly had to stay awake listening to me all night.

This product is the Nasivent Tube, which is similar to the Nozovent strip. Which one you'll prefer may be a matter of personal preference.

The manufacturer claims this product will resolve or treat snoring. i don't know about the underlying causes but it certainly can help.

The product is composed to two short tubes, of differing sizes to fit different nostrils, each pair of tubes connected by a short plastic strip. You place a pair of tubes that fit properly into each nostril and they hold open you nasal passages to improve the flow of air, particularly when sleeping. The improvement is obvious and they do help reduce mouth breathing and snoring.

Okay, 5 stars for me too. I've used these for 2 weeks straight and know I won't be able to sleep without them. I had nostril surgery 4 years ago to rebuild the walls for support and the right one is closing again. I found this on Amazon and although it's pretty pricey, if it works like for me, it's worth it. If you feel yourself forcing to breath then either the size is too large or you've placed them inside the nostril too deeply. Don't worry about if they hang out, they don't fall out (for me anyway). Thanx to all who took the time to write a review and give suggestions.
