Are you irritable in the morning? Do you suffer from daytime tiredness? Is fatigue affecting your life? Does snoring affect others in your life?
The Snoregem Nasal Dilator is a medically approved device which sits harmlessly at night inside the cavity of the nose. Also included are 8 chin-up strips which assist in training the body to reduce mouth-breathing at night. These should not be required long-term.
Watch our demonstration video, 'How To Fit A Snoregem Nasal Dilator', to see how simple it is to fit and use this product.
How can a Nasal Dilator help?
Most types of snoring are caused by the relaxation and slight closing of the nasal passages. This in turn restricts the airflow to the lungs, and, to compensate, the body automatically allows breathing through the mouth during sleep. Oxygen absorption by the lungs is facilitated by the presence of warm, moist air rather than cold. Normal respiration takes place through the nose, which filters and warms the air by contact with the capillary veins in the nasal passages as inhalation takes place.
A snorer, who breathes through the mouth, inhales a greater volume of cold air. This accounts for the dry, raspy throat in the morning. The sound of snoring is created by the vibrations of the soft tissue at the level of the uvula in the palate / tonsillar area. The vibrations resonate in the sphenoidal sinus, amplifying the noise as high as 80 decibels. The Nasal Dilator gently supports the nasal passages, encouraging normal respiration, and ameliorating the snoring problem. It is precision manufactured from surgical stainless steel, and will last for a long time, unlike its plastic counterparts, which have a short lifespan. The Dilator may help to reduce the noise, but you may also benefit from increasing your general fitness, or losing some weight which will certainly help to tone up the system.
There may be other underlying causes of snoring which need medical attention, perhaps an injury sustained in the past, disease, or excessive alcohol consumption. If in doubt, seek professional medical advice from your doctor.
Chin-Up strips - How can they help?
The nasal dilator should have improved your breathing, allowing you to inhale more easily through the nose.
This needs to continue as you sleep. However, if you have been an habitual snorer, you may still have a tendency
for your jaw to drop. To avoid this, before you retire-
Check that there is no nasal blockage (a saline solution may be helpful)
Apply the Chin-Up strip and insert the nasal dilator.
This may only be required for a few nights until you have become accustomed to the Dilator.
Customer Reviews
Reviewer : Dave (10th Aug 2010)
Review : I purchased a Snoregem because I lost the Snore-no-more that I had previously been using (I suspect I flushed it down the loo during the night!). The nasal dilator appears to be the same and certainly helps keep my nasal airways open. I have a few squirts of Beconase before I insert the dilator, which helps clear my sinuses as well as act as a lubricant for the dilator. As I am used to the dilator, I haven't needed the chin-up strips, although I recall thinking about purchasing a pack when I bought my first dilator, so it is a good idea to have them included in the pack for first time users. There are several factors that cause me to snore, so the dilator alone is not a complete solution. I certainly sleep better with the dilator and my wife doesn't complain so much about my snoring, but I think I really need a mandibular advancement device to fully resolve my snoring problem, so that is probably going to be my next purchase.

Review : I previously used a Snore-no-More, but lost it one night (I think I must have inadvertently flushed it down the loo!). I came back to order another and found it had been discontinued, so bought a Snoregem. This appears to be the same basic device packaged with some Chin-Up strips. The basic device works well for me, but I do have to ensure it is fully inserted. I usually have a few squirts of Beconase first which acts as a lubricant for inserting the dilator and also helps to clear the sinuses. Once inserted, I find breathing through my nose much easier. I certainly have the impression that I sleep better for it, although my wife assures me I still snore, but probably not as badly. I think I probably need a mandibular advancement device to stop me from snoring, but I don't fancy the idea of trying to sleep with something in my mouth.
Suitable for sufferers of nasal stuffiness and/or small or collapsing nostrils.
