Stop That Snoring - feedback

Here's a partial collection of feedback I've received.

This should give you some reassurance, if you are the kind of person who believes these feedback things. Personally I am generally sceptical when I see this stuff myself, and usually reckon a lot of it is just made up by the person selling the product. But honestly, all this feedback is genuine.

I also sell some Snorer's Friends^® on Ebay, you can check my Ebay feedback here.

I'm a bit behind in this! I've made a small start but I've still got a pile of emails in my inbox that I will copy to here. Hopefully I'll catch up soon. Thanks everyone for your lovely feedback, it will appear here very soon I promise! I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me about your successes.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you so much for my Snorer's Friend. Hubby tells me that I haven't snored at all since wearing it. I'm stoked as I use to get quite annoyed with myself waking to find him sleeping in another room away from me!!

I'm very happy.

Thanks again.
Regards,
Sandy

Hi Andrea

It has certainly made a huge difference to my sleeping habits.

I have used both the devices and may soon need a third. (I grind)

When I can keep the thing in my mouth it completely stops my snoring and

apnia.

It sometimes falls out and sometimes I inadvertantly remove it in my sleep

but generally it stays put (perhaps 4 out of every 5 nights I get perfect

sleep)

And what a joy that sleep is. I had completely forgotten what it was like

to fall asleep and then wake in the morning. The first couple of times were

a little unsettling as I could not quite reconcile the elapsed time and felt

a little disorientated.

Now I look forward to my nights sleep and have stopped taking naps during

the day. I wake refreshed and energised and ready to tackle my day (I'm a [...] teacher)

Most importantly my partner and I are again on friendly terms sharing a bed.

The distress the problem causes to both the snorer and the partner are

significant and it had become a very contentious issue for us. Seperate

beds (or even bedrooms) was looking likely. I had tried pillows and neck

cushions and nasal clearing techniques to no avail.

The MAD worked from the very first night. I think it is saving my grinding

teeth as well!

I am now considering a fitted device which may only offer a slight

improvement at a much greater cost but my experience suggests it would be

worth it. I would not have even considered that step if I had not had such

success with this very inexpensive device from the start.

Thank You

2008 Oct 12 - Darren, VIC, Australia

Andrea - I received my Snorer's Friend on Wednesday this week and received

immediate benefit that night. My wife and children are thankful that

something has finally helped eliminate 'Dad's snoring'!

I've already recommended you to a number of snorer friends and hope they too

benefit from your device.

Thanks for a great Australian product.

Kind Regards

Darren

Hi Andrea,

Great news! We have kept adjusting and perservering with the snoring device and guess what?? A week of no snoring! Just wonderful! [...] I am so happy with the outcome and thank you so much for all your help.

Liz.

2008 Sept 14 - Greg, WA, Australia

G'Day Andrea

Some feedback FYI several weeks down the track after extensive field testing

The first couple of attempts with shaping the SF to my mouth didn't work well which was put down to a learning curve.

The second SF that you kindly enclosed was however then fitted successfully and has worked well ever since!

I have therefore drafted the following theorem

[...]'s THEOREM:

Over 50 + overweight + overindulgence on red wine = snoring + disrupted sleep for spouse

Over 50 + overweight + overindulgence on red wine + Snorer's Friend = no more snoring + uninterrupted sleep for spouse

Therefore Snorer's Friend = Spouse's new best friend!

Cheers

Hi Andrea,

Thanks again for the quick reply and i will definitely be recommending the Snorer's Friend to other friends of mine who are also having trouble with their husbands snoring.

Once again Thank you very much.

Just a quick note to let you know that i am going to have to send the Snorer's Friend back as my husband in unable to use it due to he has a form of epilepsy and he said he doesn't want to use it, which i can understand.

2008 Sept 13 - Judy, VIC, Australia

Hi Andrea

I have had my Snorers Friend now for over a week - it is fantastic - I have

stopped snoring, have a great night sleep and feel refreshed the next day. I

think that I clenched my teeth rather than grind them and my Snorers Friend

has helped to stop this. I also do not wake up with a headache which I so

often did before using my Snorers Friend. Last night I went to bed and had

left my Snorers Friend in the bathroom after cleaning it. I was too tired to

go in to get it, and snored, had a restless night and woke up with a

headache.

I had recommended your product to so many friends and thank you so much - my

fiance Peter thanks you too as he now gets a great night sleep as well!!

Have a Great Day

2008 Aug 27 - Lyndall, VIC, Australia

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for your email yesterday. Alfred has asked me to contact you as he has gone to work early. He very much appreciated what you said in your email and we are both blown away by your service. We had great success with the device last night. We altered it to make Alfred's jaw come out a little more and he was the quietest last night when he slept that I have ever known him to be. I actually thought that he was awake most of the night but he said no that he had quite a deep sleep. He felt very refreshed this morning. He said that the device was very comfortable and that it didn't slip out.

Once again, thank you very much.

We will keep you updated as to how things progress.

Kind regards,

Lyndall

2008 Aug 20 - Christine, SA, Australia

Dear Scott,

I just had to write and thank you for your wonderful product.

I was ready to go and have the [Registered trademark deleted] mouthguard made up by a dentist, at a cost of approximately $1600 before any claim from private health insurance was made. And then I was only likely to get back about $700. So you have saved me a lot of money.

I took my partner to the doctor so we could discuss having the mouthguard made up for him and he said wait. He called in one of his partners and his partner said he has this device – your device.

All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!! It is the first time my partner and I have slept together ALL NIGHT for 3 months. And I enjoyed every minute of it. He didn't snore not even once. And let me tell you he was BAD. He was so loud the kids and I could hear him in other rooms of the house even when the doors were closed.

Last night was the first night of hopefully many more good nights sleep.

You're a genius! There is nothing worse than sleep deprivation.

2008 Aug 19 - Jennifer, NSW, Australia

My apologies for the delay in replying to you regarding my Snorer's Friend but I live alone and was unsure if it worked until I took a holiday with the man in my life last week. He assured me the device works well and it is a lifesaver - otherwise I think he was about to kill me!

Thanks!
Jennifer

2008 Aug 10 - Jim, Australia

Dear Scott

Thanks to the snorers friend I can now sleep in the same bed as my girlfriend without her threatening to injure me in my sleep and she is much happier in the mornings too. It is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks again
Jim

2008 Aug 05 - Jennifer

I ordered and received your Snorer's friend device a couple of weeke ago.
Just to let you know I couldn't be more happy with the product.
From day one it worked-my husband is very pleased with the lack of snoring !
Sometimes a little snore gets through after a red wine -but that is of no consequince.
I was a bit scheptacle as I had tried many snoring "cures" they failed
But yours works
Thanks Scott

2008 Aug 04 - Mark, WA, Australia

Snorers Mate arrived.

Thank you for the very prompt and efficient service as promised on your web-site.

Mouth piece fitted and adjusted okay - good instructions.

Went to bed in great anticipation although somewhat dubious if I am perfectly honest (even though I had spent about 18 hours researching snoring and how mandibular devices can cure it) however, I think I had one of the best nights sleeps I have had for a long time.

Proof of the test.............

Mrs P say's that on a scale of 1-10 my original snoring was about 635 which was backed up by my neighbour three doors down and he has the added advantage of being 100 meters away!!

With the snorers mate......Mrs P reckons it's now about a 2.

So that for me is classified as a success and the bruises in the ribs have started to disappear already!!

Thanks for the product and the prompt efficient service.

Best regards

Dear Andrea.

Thank you so much for the helping hand with my problems, it is not very

often that a company will go out of their way the way you have. I will keep

in contact if I need any further assistance. I will also highly recommend

your product to anyone who needs a snorer's friend. Once again I am

extremely grateful for your assistance. Have a nice day.

Kind regards.

Really good to know people like you still around, you have intergity and honesty in business dealing , and I will recommend you to my friends who need device to stop snoring.

I will keep looking out for devices to help me stop snoring, yes my partner said it helps.

2008 Feb 08 - Nigel, WA, Australia

Dear Scott,

I had a great nights sleep last night- 8 hours - and after a prostate cancer

op. last year, no trips to the bathroom throughout the night- amazing. I

hope it continues. No obvious after effects so far but will keep you posted.

Many thanks for such a brilliant invention and one which makes complete

sense as it is a similar principle to my work as a leading authority world

wide on vocal coaching for actors and singers, where we are always trying to

get them to bring the lower jaw slightly forward to open up the sound in the

pharynx and let resonance up into the nasal passages. The two natural

underbiters are of course Dame Joan Sutherland and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa,

which is why they have/had such huge operatic voices.

Good luck,

Nigel

2008 Feb 05 - Glenn, NSW, Australia

Hi Scott,

Like many on the feedback page, thanks!

The first night I used the device it was marvellous, just marvellous. I was actually able to get up in the morning. It explained why the anti-depressants weren't working!

You see, at the same time as my snoring was alternately evicting me from bed or evicting my wife if she couldn't rouse me, I was finding it difficult to get up. The anti-depressants stem from an episode of depression. All the symptoms of that had gone except my inability to rouse myself in the morning. As soon as I tried your MAD, I was able to get up!

The only problem is that I've discovered I'm a grinder, so Mrs F keeps hassling me to buy the next one. I will, very soon! Just waiting for pay day, in fact.

We are very happy with it.

My 2 year old daughter calls her dummy a "ba' ah' " (don't know why). She calls my MAD "daddy's Ba' ah' "!!!!

Glenn.

2008 Jan 24 - Glenn, QLD, Australia

Hi Scott,

Thanks for my Snorers Friend. I had tried sprays, nasal strips, and even the pillow for around the neck. None of these worked and the pillow was quite uncomfortable (for me anyway). I can't thank you enough for your terrific little invention. It has changed my life. In just the last three days I have slept in my own bed with my wife. I had taken to sleeping downstairs on a fold out sofa.... not great when I only got married 2 months ago. It was a bit of an unusual feeling the first night but last night was fine. I can now go to someone's place and sleep over and not die from embarrassment. Sincerely Scott you know just what I am talking about otherwise you would not have come up with it in the first place.

I apparently still make some sort of heavy breathing sound but not enough to keep my wife awake. I will try to fit the second mouth piece and pay even more attention to the moulding to teeth, just in-case.

I am a qualified graphic artist and should you ever need my services for design to promote your amazing product, you have it free of charge. I have done work for all types of businesses from corporate through to state government, councils, [rest deleted to preserve anonymity] to name a few.

Sincerely Scott I can not thank you enough... and thank you for the professional way in which you conduct your business.

Good luck with your sales and I wish you continued success.

Yours sincerely Glenn

2008 Jan 15 - Sheila, Fort Mill SC, USA

Scott, I can't thank you enough for your fine product. I just saw my cardiologist today about my sleep apnea (I also have atrial fibrillation), and I was dreading the cpap machine. I took my Snorer's Friend with me, and my doctor was already familiar with it because a partner of his uses one. I explained to him that since using the device, my husband tells me that I do not snore much. He concluded that since I do not snore, my air passages must be sufficiently open, and since I am also losing a few pounds, I should be fine. I do not have to use the cpap machine! Thank you, again, Mrs. Sheila [surname deleted to preserve anonymity]

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM SCOTT! Using the Snorer's Friend as a treatment for OSA in Australia is illegal and potentially dangerous, unless you involve a doctor. The Snorer's Friend seems to have helped Shiela quite a bit but that doesn't mean it will help every OSA sufferer. The medical evidence is that there will be quite a few OSA sufferers that won't get any benefit at all. Given that OSA is a very serious condition you shouldn't take chances with it. So don't risk it, make an appointment with your doctor today if you suspect you have OSA.

2008 Jan 14 - Jane, NSW, Australia

Dear Scott ,

I bought the mouth guard on Thursday, it arrived on Friday. I wore it to bed on Friday night and didn't get kicked out! Wow, this is great it works. Thanks so much

regards Jane

2007 Mar 22 - Steve, NSW, Australia

Dear Scott,

No need to wait 5 days as the device worked like a charm ! We both had a good nights sleep in a long time, so I would like to thank you for your prompt service and support. Having played a lot of rugby in my youth, fitting your double sided mouth guard was easy for me. As for side affects, well no really, the device seems a little unusual to go to sleep with or slightly uncomfortable but I am sure that with time I will get used to it but in any case the discomfort far far out weighs the benefits two fold. So again many thanks and I tell as many others that I can and keep up the good work.

Kind Regards

Steve

2007 Mar 21 - Derek, NSW, Australia

Thank you Scott!

I slept in it last night - great stuff! I only needed one attempt to mould. My teeth didn't have to be pushed forward. There was general soreness this morning, but less than I anticipated.

Over all - it's a great success! I recorded 2 hours of my sleep and - NOTHING!

and the best thing is - I don't have to use it all the time, only when I need it! Fantastic!

Thank you, Derek

2007 Mar 13 - Joyce, Australia

Subject: A HUGE THANK YOU

We bought the guard a few months ago, and had a few reservations at first about its effectiveness, but now, I am 200% impressed, as I am sleeping the best I have in many years, thanks to not hearing my husband's constant snoring. It has made a huge difference to my life, and I am just so grateful to you. Thank you very, very much

2007 Feb 7 - Paul, NSW, Australia

Scott,

Thanks the Snorer's Friend arrived on the 27th Dec the day before we left for holidays. All I can say is it saved me. I never thought it would work as good as the fitted MAD I had broken, but I was wrong and your product is
just as good and I was able to sleep peacefully again and my wife was pleased. We just got back a few days ago.

Regards
Paul

2007 Feb 2 - Russell, NSW, Australia

Subject: Small price...huge R.O.I.

Scott,

I don't believe that anyone who either snores or gets subjected to snoring, could put a price on getting the problem fixed. To think that some people would go through painful surgery and all sorts of alternatives.....when in fact for a pittance, most sufferers could get bailed out of jail, for what equates to a mere $30, by buying your device. [Explanatory note from Scott : Russell is dividing the price in half, because there are two mouthpieces in each pack.]

To think that before seeing your site, I nearly purchased a similar unit to yours for around $180 and would have had the same outcome!!! And then you still put two of them in the box!!!!

The bottom line is....on night one.....it worked a treat. Yes, it will still take a little getting used to....it's like going to sleep with a mouthful of bubblegum.....but that's academic and it certainly not uncomfortable. Once you realise that you cannot swallow the thing....you relax and get on with sleeping. Gosh...it was great not getting my ribs or kidneys belted by the co-driver last night. And she slept like a log. Getting the gadget shaped was dead easy too.

Right now I am off to bed....and hee-hee.........the co-driver can't run that headache-from-sleep-deprivation story past me anymore.

Now as for your knighthood, let's get a campaign started.

Best regards and a humble "Thanks Mate" ....you're a lifesaver and damn good example of Aussie ingenuity.

Subject: Aussie of the year

SCOTT BATTERSBY OA
How does that sound.

After months of sleeping in separate beds, my wife wants to nominate you "Australian of the year" in recognition of your services to the institution of marriage and the reintroduction of the morning "fringe benefit" to waking after a full night's uninterrupted sleep beside her husband of 40 years. I only hope I can "keep it up"!

Your amazing little gadget has turned our lives around and solved a seemingly unsolvable problem. I only wish I'd found out about it before blowing $600 on Buteyko. The only improvements I could suggest might be a range of different flavours or a "glow-in-the-dark" model for reading in bed.

Thanks heaps Scott, mate. You really are a fair dinkum, true-blue Aussie legend.

Have a great Australia Day,

Pete.

2006 Nov 17 - Joyce

Dear Scott,

I thought I'd tried everything to stop the dreaded snoring of my husband (doesn't help that I'm an insomniac), even almost getting sucked in to paying nearly $2000 for a device - not good on a pension. Now, after only one night of trial, things are looking good for our otherwise very happy marriage, as there was virtually no noise from my darling. How do you do it for such a price?? Congratulations, and my sincerest thanks. Maybe in a short while I'll be a zombie no more!

2006 October 20 - Rick, Canada

Scott,

The Snorer's Friend has solved my snoring problem. I've been using it regularly since it arrived over 5 months ago. If I forget to wear it for one night now and then, I still don't snore, so there must be some 'training' effect.

Thanks for completing my order so quickly, and for including the second device. It has been a godsend!

2006 September 29 - Bert, TAS, Australia

Bert suffers from Obstructive Sleep Apnoea as well as Snoring. He wanted to see if a Mandibular Advancement Device would be beneficial for him. So he organised a trial of the device under the supervision of his sleep physician. Here is his feedback :

G'day Scott,

I finally got a call from the sleep physician to see him about the results of the sleep study using the Snorer's Friend MAD.

From the time that I started using the Snorer's Friend my wife noticed that I had stopped snoring and as a result has since returned to our bed. The instruments during the sleep study emperically confirmed that snoring had ceased.

My sleep 'events' went from 39.3 per hour in the trial without the MAD to 10.5 per using the MAD. That is from moderate/severe to mild. However as it did not stop the events steps have been made to provide a professionally made splint. I am still using your MAD until that has been made and fitted. Your warning about seeking professional opinion has been borne out, however if snoring was my only problem then your wonderful product would have been all that I needed.

Thanks for the spare as I ruined the first blank! You really are an honest bloke!

My husband said he did'nt hear me snore. I'll keep you posted on my
progress thanks.

2006 August 25 - Norbert, SA, Australia

Hi Scott

I wasn't optimistic that this device would work as I am a chronic snorer; it doesn't seem to matter whether I sleep on my side, back or front, I'm told I snore! But my partner tells me this device actually works!

The first time I used it she thought I had not fallen asleep because I had not started snoring as soon as my head hit the pillow. So she was most pleased that she did not have to suffer the discomfort of having to wear ear plugs, as she has had to do every time we shared a bed.

I tend to fall asleep very quickly, so I don't find the device uncomfortable. I find I do wake in the night a bit more and am aware I have this thing clamped between my teeth, but I usually drop straight back to sleep. But then again, I've only used it three times up to now, so I'm sure I will get used to it as I use it more. And my jaw was a bit sore after the first night, but better the last couple of times.

All in all, it works fine for me and also for She Who Must Be Obeyed!

I won't have to claim the money back guarantee and I reckon I can also avoid the dentist selling me a mega expensive anti-teeth grinding device as this will do that job as well! :-)

Thanks,

Regards, Norbert

Hi Scott,

Just to let you know, I think I love you (well your product) lol. Ive had two full nights sleep & havent heard my hubby snore execpt when he rolls onto his back he makes a very unhuman noise, but that soon subsides. Thankyou, its a life saver. Ive passed your website on to all who would listen, my hubby has also passed it on to mates at work. You never know it may single handedly reduce divorce. lol. We didnt even find it hard to mould I thought the instructions spoke for themselves. All in all a perfect product.

Thankyou once again.

THE MOUTHPIECE WAS QUITE DIFFICULT TO GET USED TO AT FIRST , BUT AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS I HAVE GOT USED TO IT !!!!....MY WIFE IS VERY HAPPY AS I HAVE STOPPED SNORING.IT WORKS....BRAVO SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006 July 17 - Anne Marie

Hi Scott

I am totally amazed - so far so good. I brought the snorer's friend for my hubby - we have not slept in the same bed for nearly 10 years. Firstly due to me being an insomniac and secondly due to my hubby's snoring. Since receiving your product we have had three consecutive nights sleeping together successfully. Thank you so much!

2006 June 18 - Anne

Dear Scott -

Got the package. Here's my report on Snorer's Friend.

Did my best to fit following your instructions, and had to do it 3 x

Thanks for sending a spare, because my fit is still not quite right - probably didn't push the lower plastic with my tongue quite hard enough, because the lower teeth have too much "play" and the lower jaw has a tendency to still move back a little during the night. Will use the other one if necessary.

Just have used this one 4 nights, and we are both sleeping much better.

This a.m. my husband got up and said, " I was absolutely zonked. Do you realize we both slept solidly for 9 hours?"

Yes!!!

Anne

2006 June 17 - Alicia

I have been using your product for almost a week and my husband says that I am not snoring. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I find that I sleep better and that I can really feel the air going into my lungs now, not being trapped somewhere in my throat. I have told others of this appliance and they seem eager to try it too. It was not difficult to get used to and as I use it every night, I find that my jaws are not sore. I will be using this appliance to a long time.

Sincerely, Alicia

2006 Feb 9 - Simon

Thanks for sending the device so promptly and the extra one.

It worked very effectively for me. Apparently I am a very loud snorer and I

made no sound at all last night. In fact my wife actually felt the need to

check I was okay.

2006 Feb 1 - Analia

Hi Scott,

A note for your feedback section of the website.

I have tried the device, and it works really well.
It takes a little getting used to, but is quite comfortable after a while.
I am still learning not to bite down on it, as I think this was the cause
of my sore jaw in the first few days, but every night is better.

I am still very aware of having something there, but the benefits
far out weigh any short term discomfort.

Good luck with the business, the website's looking great.

Cheers,

Analia

2006 Jan 30 - Mary

Scott,

Astonishing! The Snorers' Friend actually stopped my boyfriend's snoring! Not quite 100%, but to the point that the little bit of occasional, quiet snoring was not bothersome. To be honest, I still don't believe it. It really happened though. I got a good night"s sleep with nothing to worry about except that he hogged the blankets, but that's a lot easier to solve than a snoring problem.

I'll give you more update as time passes. It seems to fix his problem with mild sleep apnea but, as that is a serious problem, I'm not about to declare it remedied without a little more proof.

I've checked out your website. Professional, but funny too. I like that; snoring can be just too serious.

Mary

Hi Scott,

Thank you again for the opportunity to road test your device. I am fresh

back from holidays and yes, I did receive it in time.

I am 50 and have become a regular and sometimes loud snorer in the past 2

years (coinciding with deteriorating eyesight, if there is any connection).

I am, otherwise healthy, active and not too overweight. I sleep well myself

but disturb those around me. I found the mouthpiece works for me, provided I

do not have too much alcohol beforehand. It is not comfortable, but I

usually drop off to sleep easily anyway. I tended to remove it sometime

during the night, by which time my wife was soundly asleep.

Firstly, I misunderstood the instructions and removed the wooden spatula

when moulding the device to my mouth. The breathing slot became obstructed

and required a second moulding attempt - all obvious now but the

instructions could perhaps be a little more explicit in that regard. It was

otherwise easy to fit.

In terms of comfort, I found the mouthpiece material outside my mouth can

become a little tacky, so that my lips stick rather than "glide" over it

when making minor comfort adjustments.

Note that I have not tried any similar mouthpiece devices, mainly because I

have been unable to source one. This is perhaps the most encouraging comment

I can make. I am a builder and experienced in tracking down hard to locate

parts and pieces. I spent several hours before Xmas trying to buy a cheap

dental splint in Melbourne to take away on holidays, but without success. I

rang my doctor, dentist, local mouthguard/dental technician guy, Amcal,

Guardian and an independent pharmacy chain, two sleep clinics and several

dental supply companies out of the Yellow Pages. I persevered because I knew

of them from the internet. In spite of that effort, I could not buy an

"experimental", mouldable, mouthpiece to see if it worked for me, before

spending a lot more money having something custom made.

Having something custom made is now appropriate but your "boil and bite"

mouthpiece is still relevant as a back-up and for travelling etc. I reckon

you have a market with no competition, at least in Melbourne! Looking for

investors?

Hope this is helpful, I am happy to respond further.

Geoff
