Natural Deep Breathing Trainer for Lungs Patented Non-Constricting Respiratory Muscle Training - Unrestricted Airflow Design Easy to Use Food-Safe BPA-Free Breathe Breath Exercise Device

First review: Received today in a plastic bag. No instructions included (I looked inside and nothing). Not sure I will keep. Very poor presentation of a new product. And I don’t know how to use it.Update:I returned first item and asked for replacement. It came quickly - in a box with all necessary instructions.This product has been very helpful with my breathing issues. I recommend.

I’ve been looking for something for breathing exercises to try and address some reflux issues and stumbled upon this. My gastroenterologist recommended that I do some breathing exercises to strengthen my diaphragm. Think of free breathing exercises like pushups and this device like adding weights to your bench press. After using this for a few months I am up to the having all the openings closed/covered. I definitely feel like my breathing has been strengthened.The way it works is, there is a hockey puck like device/weight inside the tube that you are eventually supposed to be able to pull up when you inhale. Resistance is added through the little air openings on the top and bottom of the device - more openings means less resistance while blocking the openings means more resistance.This is definitely a unique device and worth a shot if you’re looking to strengthen your breathing. I just wish it came with a second mouthpiece so multiple people can use it.

A good product. Would work even better if I was more disciplined at using it regularly!

Tools like this can be helpful for preparing for a trip at altitude or for exercise. I found that this was a bit too restrictive when starting out, and there wasn't much adjustment when you were beginning. The device seems to work well overall, but I would say it is for advanced breathing training only.

I’ve tried a lot of breathing exercisers, and this one seems to work the best over all. Easy to use and easier to clean than others. Not very time consuming and I’ve had pretty quick results in my quality of breathing. I’ve dropped it a few times on the go and it holds up great compared to others I’ve used.

Really appreciate being able to clean this device easily unlike some other breathing trainers that are unable to be cleaned. Took a few times using to get the hang of it but works well once I figured it out. I quit smoking 3 years ago, so I try anything possible to get my lungs back into shape. This seems to be a well made tool!

So far I have been using this for a couple days and am staying committed to my "breathing exercises". It has also helped me focus on technique.As a cycler, I am trying to improve my O2 intake and deep breathing for long distance road riding and the climbs and sprints in gravel and mtn bike rides. Due to an auto-immune condition, my wife has lung and breathing challenges. She was professionally trained in theater and singing so she notices when I am shallow breathing vs deep diaphragm breathing. She showed me diaphragm breathing exercises but I am not committed because it doesn't feel effective due to poor technique.I've seen other breathing devices that only seem to restrict breathing while working out but those devices did not appeal to me. Enter this device. To achieve maximum effectiveness, it requires a few simple breathing exercise sets 3 times a day, so I just leave it out on the counter to remind me, as I walk by, to stop and do the sets (takes 60-90 seconds).What I found is that the many simple daily "exercises" (eg balance board, stretching, mindfulness pause, reflection) we should be doing to maintain a healthy and productive body and mind are skipped because we view them as a distraction in a busy environment. I know it sounds hokey, but this device is already making me more cognizant of the need to take a few minutes to improve the neglected areas in my life that can be improved with little effort. Hopefully I will also benefit in my workouts and cycling rides.Solid 5 stars. This device may not be for everyone, but if my review is something you can relate to, then I highly recommend this device.
