My Snoring Solution Review: Does It Really Work?

The name kind of says it all. Do you wish you had a solution for your snoring?

There may be many reasons why we snore. These may include:

• Being overweight
• Drinking alcohol
• Aging
• Medication
• Sleep position
• An underlying sleep disorder

There are some things we can do to help ourselves.

These include losing weight or not drinking alcohol close to bedtime.

There are also many products on the market which claim to help.

My Snoring Solution is one such product.

Let’s look at what it is and what it may do to help.

This product was invented by Stephen Matthews. On the company website he tells us how he almost died from Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

He was unable to get an appointment to evaluate his condition. He tore off a strip of bath towel and tied it around his head to go to sleep. This was to keep his mouth closed while he slept.

He found this worked and My Snoring Solution was the result.

My Snoring Solution is an anti snoring jaw supporter. It is made from a material that is machine washable.

The device is placed under the chin and secures at the top of the head. There are holes cut out for your ears.
The product aims to keep your mouth closed while you sleep and hence eliminate snoring.

The product comes in three sizes based on weight. They are:

• Small: up to 120 lbs (54 kg)
• Medium: 120 lbs (54 kg) to 250lbs (113 kg)
• Large: over 250 lbs (113 kg)

So how does it actually work? Let’s take a closer look.

There is a lot of information on this company’s website about sleep disorders.

They place a lot of emphasis on sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea is a medical condition. There are two types:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea:

• This happens when the muscles in the back of your throat relax. These muscles support the soft palate, the uvula, the tonsils, the tongue and the sides of the throat.
• As a result your airway narrows or closes as you breathe in. You may not get enough breathe. This may lower the oxygen levels in your blood.
• Your brain senses that you cannot breathe. It briefly wakes you up so that you can reopen your airway. You most likely won’t even realise this is happening.
• It may repeat itself five to 30 times or more each hour, all night long. This means you don’t sleep properly and may be tired during the day.

Central Sleep Apnea:

• This is a less common form of sleep apnea. It happens when your brain fails to tell your muscles to breathe
• This means you don’t breathe for a short period of time.
• You may have shortness of breath. You may find it hard to get to sleep or stay asleep.

Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition. You might want to consult with your doctor before using this device if you have or think you may have it. The device claims it can help with Obstructive Sleep Apnea by keeping the airways open.

This device is aimed at stopping snoring. Let’s look at the main cause of snoring and see if it may work.

When you sleep, all your muscles relax. This includes your tongue. When the tongue relaxes it slides towards the throat. Your soft palate and tissues at the back of your mouth also collapse towards the throat. The muscles in the throat also relax.

This means that the soft tissues are naturally looser and closer to the soft palate and uvula. The uvula is that little bit that hangs down in the middle of your throat at the back of the mouth.

As air pushes through these tissues they vibrate. This results in the snoring sound that we make.

My Snoring Solution holds the jaw upward. This helps open the airway and may reduce or prevents soft tissue vibration.

If your airway is clear your breathing improves. This may give you a better quality of sleep.

The company details a study of 10 patients using this device. I was unable to find whether this study has been published. This shows that 6 out of 10 patients snored less using this device. With the exception of one patient, the remainder still snored. It also showed that some patients has less instances of sleep apnea.

There is published study carried out on 26 adult patients. This was to establish the efficacy of a chinstrap in treating Sleep Disordered Breathing and Snoring. This found a chin strap to be ineffective for sleep disorders or snoring.

This type of device does not require any setting up or adjustments.

This may also be worn by people with dentures, crowns and bridges. It is not invasive.

There are no side effects noted on the company website.

Some people might be irritated by the material the device is made of.

You may also experience an ache in your jaws from having them held in place all night.

My Snoring Solution may be used by anyone. It may particularly suit people who are unable to use mouthpieces to help snoring.

It is not suitable for you if you breathe through your mouth.

It may suit you if you move around a lot in your sleep. As the strap goes all the way round your head and has holes for your ears it may be more secure than other chin straps.

The company is listed with the Better Business Bureau and has a less than stellar C+ rating. It has 2.34* out of 5.

It has 25 resolved complaints and 4 negative reviews.

Many of these are in respect of customer service. Customers have experienced delays in receiving their product. They have also had difficulties obtaining refunds.

There are many customer reviews online about My Snoring Solution.

On Amazon there are 194 reviews. It has an overall 2.6 stars with 40% of reviews rating the product above average.

On Highya.com there are 10 reviews with an overall 1.2 star rating.

Some people are very happy they invested in this product. They report sleeping better and not snoring. They also say they wake up refreshed.

Cris P writes:

Prior to this week, I cannot remember the last time I had a full night of uninterrupted sleep. My husband has been wearing the My Snoring Solution Jaw Supporter for three nights now, and we are both convinced of its benefits. I am not getting woken up by a snoring husband, and my husband feels better rested. We have tried other products, but none seem to work. My husband complains how other products are uncomfortable, but he claims to not even feel this product. If you snore or sleep next to a snorer, this jaw supporter is worth trying.

Some people found that it did not work.

C Vickers reports:

Unfortunately the jaw strap did not keep me from snoring and I woke up with a sore jaw.

Meanwhile there are many complaints about customer service. People also have difficulty getting refunds under the money back guarantee. Many people also say that the price is high for the quality of the product.

Sharon Bennett writes:

This product is way overpriced and the money back guarantee is more trouble than it’s worth. The only reason I was willing to pay that much was because of the “money back guarantee.” Now I’m thinking because of their dishonesty in advertising, I will never see a refund even though I return this expensive product. The customer service is poor (to put it nicely). Go online and Google “anti snore devices” and find the same thing for $19.99. I should have read the reviews before I ordered.

See below how the official site looks like.

The company offers a 90 day money back guarantee. This excludes shipping nand handling.

They also deduct a further 25% of the purchase price to cover an environmental waste disposal fee.

They stipulate that you must return goods by USPS priority mail for the US. They detail allowed postal carriers if you are outside the US. You can find full details on their website.

You will be responsible for shipping and handling charges.

My Snoring Solution may suit you if you are averse to using mouthpieces. There are some people that find it very comfortable and find it works.

The price point is high. There are many similar items available on Amazon that are much cheaper. The customer service and returns policy seems less than stellar.

If snoring is ruining your life and that of those around you then money may be no object to find a solution. You may find that this product is worth the higher cost.

You may be one of the lucky ones that finds a solution to your snoring.
