My Snoring Solution

From LoveToKnow Sleep

My Snoring Solution is an As-Seen-On-TV product offered in 2009 for $69.97 plus shipping and handling. The product resembles a chinstrap that keeps the mouth closed.

About My Snoring Solution

According to the product website, the My Snoring Solution is based on supporting the lower jaw. By keeping the lower jaw in place, the airway space is increased, reducing the amount of soft tissue vibration and thus reducing, if not eliminating, the snoring.

The creator of the product goes on to describe his struggles with obstructive sleep apnea, the time consuming process of getting a sleep study before he could invest in a CPAP machine. He designed the chinstrap in order to keep his mouth closed, ideally reducing his snoring and soft tissue collapse and letting him get a restful night’s sleep.

Stop Snoring Reviews

As with all stop snoring products, there are no guarantees that this one will work for everyone who tries it. The product site posts many positive reviews from consumers who purchased the headgear and found that it worked for them.

Users at the Apnea Support group describe different experiences. One user suggests she purchased the item, but had no success or improvement in her sleep patterns. Another advises sticking with what the experts (the physicians) recommend and a third reminds that the snoring solution is simply a chinstrap.

Chin Straps versus CPAP

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines work because they keep up a continuous flow of air pressure preventing soft tissue collapse in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. A chinstrap may be used in conjunction with the CPAP to prevent dry mouth as well as to train the mouth to stay closed so that the CPAP doesn't just push the air up the nose and out of the mouth. The strap is not designed to improve the positive airway or prevent apnea episodes.

One user suggests the company exaggerates the claims that it works because the chinstrap is a one size fits all and there is no medical fitting, testing or positive, scientific results to support the product’s claims. Because sleep apnea is a serious medical condition, patients should seek the advice of their doctors prior to investing in any stop snoring products.

Snoring Damages Relationships

Snoring is among the most prominent causes for relationship problems in couples over the age of 30. Partners are especially sensitive to any hours of lost sleep due to a partner's snoring.

Stop snoring products appeal to couples looking for a fast solution to a potentially serious problem. If you or someone you love is snoring excessively, choking or gasping for air, then consult a physician. Sleep disorders can lead to health complications that affect the quality of life.

Better Business Bureau

According to the Better Business Bureau, My Snoring Solutions receives a D+ as of June 2009. The BBB assigns ratings from A to F with plusses and minuses indicating value for trustworthiness and reliability. The D+ rating indicates a low level of confidence in the business.
