FAQ
Anti-snoring devices, answered.
What is the best anti-snoring device?
It depends on your snoring type. Nasal snorers do best with nasal strips. Mouth-snorers do best with sleep mouth tape. Back-sleepers benefit most from a position trainer. RhinoGear's strips and tape cover the two highest-impact device categories.
Do anti-snoring devices really work?
Yes, when matched to the cause. Nasal strips reduce nasal-valve snoring measurably. Mouth tape eliminates mouth-snoring overnight. Devices that don't match the cause don't help — the diagnostic matters.
What's the cheapest effective anti-snoring device?
A nasal strip — around $0.85 per night. For nasal snorers, one strip per night usually solves the problem with no other device needed.
Are anti-snoring devices safe?
External nasal strips and gentle sleep mouth tape are Class I medical devices and considered low-risk for healthy adults. RhinoGear strips are TGA-listed (ARTG 508285) in Australia.
Can an anti-snoring device replace a CPAP?
No. CPAP is for diagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea. Anti-snoring devices treat regular snoring, not apnoea. If you suspect apnoea, see a GP for a sleep study.
