I am an SLP/myofunctional therapist. I have clients who use their nozzle successfully. But one of my client couldn’t tolerate the bumps on the nozzle. I wish there was a child’s option that was smooth.
My soring is gone after a couple weeks of using it. Sleep is amazing now.
Amazing!! Our favorite feedback! Keep up the good work!
I was able to figure out how to use it. Not sure if. I am getting enough tongue strength to reduce my snoring.
I've gone through a few of these nozzles over the last year or so. I'll start off with the negatives. They break easily because if you pull them too hard off of a straw, the material can rip. They're small and easy to lose, and lastly, they're difficult to clean because of how thin the opening slot is.
The good: The straw definitely gives your tongue a workout if you use it properly. I find I get the most benefit when I try to drink a lot of water at one time. Just sipping it doesn't give my tongue enough of a workout. Mastering the proper technique of how to use it is tricky, but once you get it down, you'll know when you're doing it right.
For background: I don't snore, but I had a tongue tie that I had fixed as an adult and using this straw works well to keep my tongue muscles strong.
I have noticed my son's mouth breathing is getting better. He enjoys the water bottle over his other ones. I would definitely recommend.
When I got the nozzle, I was frustrated that I struggled to use it according to the instructions. I couldn’t draw up water without using my cheeks to add suction to the straw. I took it to my daughter’s speech therapist, figuring I just needed a few pointers to get it right. Well, that lead to an unexpected diagnosis of oral phase dysphagia, and I’ve now started myofunctional therapy. I’m so grateful I bought the nozzle and then took my concerns to a professional. I’m leaving this review to tell people, if the straw is “not working,” it might be a bigger problem with YOU than with the straw!
