Snoring, may it be the soft purring sound of the baby or the loud express train volume, can be humiliating no matter what. "But worry no more". Science has come up with a lot of stop snoring devices to help you out with your needs.
Non-surgical procedures are often the best kind since they are less expensive and the least risky. They have also been tried and tested and though every method may not work for every person, it is a matter of finding the right method for you.
Here are a few common devices used to stop snoring?
1. Saline Sprays. These nasal sprays which are usually sterilized water with salt, are used to cleanse clogged sinuses or dry nasal passages that can cause snoring. They are usually administered 1-3 times daily via 1-2 squirts in each nostril and do not have any side effects since they do not usually contain antihistamines. They can be bought over the counter and costs around $2 to $5 depending on the brand.
2. Throat Sprays. Instead of using saline solutions, throat sprays use normal lubricating oils that can help minimize the occurrence of vibrations in your trachea that usually causes snoring. Unlike saline sprays, excessive use of throat sprays can cause irritation in the throat.
3. Nasal Strips/Dilators. These anti-snoring devices are usually made of plastic and are used to open the nasal airway passage to your throat. The adhesive backed strips are placed over the nostrils over the nostrils to assist in keeping the nasal passage way clear and unobstructed when breathing during sleep. Some athletes even use nasal strips when playing sports for better respiration. Nasal strips and dilators can be purchased without prescription.
4. Sandler pillow. Also known as the anti-snoring cradle pillow, it was created by Peter Sandler to assist the snorer in sleeping on their side, thus reducing the tendency for the snorers tongue to fall to the back of the throat and cover the airway.
5. Snore stoppers. Snore stoppers are one of the more recent non-surgical anti-snoring devices available in the market today. The device which is worn around the arm or wrist will provide a little pinch to the wearer when it can detect the sound of snoring. Several variations of this device are available for you to choose from.
