How do I get started with SnoreBuds?Updated 2 months ago
First, if you haven’t ordered yet, Step 1 is to determine your size and place your order.
Your SnoreBuds will ship within 24 hours. After ordering, you are automatically eligible to participate in the Snore Study, where we’ll show you how to record your “Before” and “After” snore data. You’ll have the option to share your data to earn rewards.
Starting
Rinse off the SnoreBuds’ tubes and insert it into your nose. It is reversible, so either way is fine. The sealing rim goes inside your nostrils.
With the device in, take a gentle breath through your nose. On the exhale, you should feel slight resistance that slows your breathing. That’s exactly what you want — it means the device is working.
If you’d like, you can wear SnoreBuds for 15 to 30 minutes before bed the first few nights. That way, your body gets used to the slowed exhalation pressure.
Snore Strength
Now it’s time to set your Snore Strength.
SnoreBuds has four strength levels, and you adjust them by turning the dial.
Here’s how it works:
• Setting 1 is the lowest strength. That’s when the dial is turned such that the single prong points at the side tab.
• Setting 2 is medium strength. Turn the dial one click counterclockwise, where the two prongs point at the outer tab.
• Setting 3 is high strength. Turn the dial another click with three prongs pointing at the outer tab.
• Setting 4 is maximum strength. Turn the dial all the way counterclockwise, and you’re at Setting 4 with the four prongs pointing at the outer tab.
Start at a setting where you feel a little back pressure when you exhale. It should slow your breath slightly, but it shouldn’t feel uncomfortable.
Settings 3 and 4 — high and max strengths — may take a few
nights to get used to. So, start at a level that feels good, and increase
gradually as you acclimate and as needed.
Once you’ve chosen your starting point, insert your SnoreBuds and go to sleep.
From there, you can gradually move the dial up over the course of a few days or even a few weeks, whatever pace feels right for you.
To finalize your ideal Snore Strength, you can check your results with the SnoreGauge app, or just ask your partner for feedback.
• If you’re comfortable and not snoring anymore, you’re all set.
• If you’re comfortable but still snoring, turn the strength up one level.
• And if you know you need to go higher but it’s not yet comfortable to do so, just give it time. It can take some people up to 30 days to fully adjust.
Once you’ve dialed in your perfect setting, you can set it and forget it.
Clean and Store
After waking, take out your SnoreBuds, rinse it off with water and mild soap, and let it air dry out of direct sunlight and out of the reach of pets and children.
