Bongo RX EPAP Therapy Device Starter Kit

The smallest one is too large for me causing extreme irradiation inside my nose. I really hope you will introduce an extra small to the kit because I love the concept.

It works, but I still use my cpap mostly. Product is better than other EPAPs I’ve tried.

Size small seems larger than the size medium so perhaps the imprint on the unit is stamped incorrectly

Much better than a cpap machine

I’m severe with 50 ahi an hour. Bongos seems to have cut that down to 8 during my sleep study. Dr. still wants me on CPAP which brings me down to 5 ? I’m keeping my Bongos for backup

Neither my custom dental appliance nor the Bongo RX stopped my reported snoring. My OSA was minimal, so disappointing these less-than-CPAP devices couldn't help.

I ordered the starter kit and very quickly DirectHomeMedical contacted my physician for the Rx. It was shipped within 2 days. That's really fast service. What I really like also is that they are not hounding me with daily emails and requests to buy more items. Pretty simple purchase and the device works!

Since I started using Bongos, my husband says he hasn’t heard me snore!

The device feels suffocating when exhaling.

I used it for 2 nights and it did not help with my snoring at all! And to boot, I now have irritation and VERY painful cystic acne near my nostril, despite using the smallest inserts.

I love this device! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a two years ago. I decided to try the Bongo first before CPAP and I was hooked! I love that it’s so easy to use and since I’m not just a back sleeper, I have the ability to sleep on my sides and stomach and I don’t have to worry about hoses or a mask. Can’t say enough good things about the Bongo. Most importantly I get a great nights sleep and I have a lot of energy throughout the day.

I truly believe that I have found a solution for my sleep apena. I am claustrophobic and could not tolerate the sleep mask. I started out by reading in bed, using the Bongo,alterating between my nose and mouth. Then, I took a nap with the Bongo still in. From the very first night, I have been to sleep with it in. Now, to ask for a sleep study to see if it is working.

Ok…so I will start by telling you I was a Provent customer and never really liked that I had to peel the skin iff my tender nose every morning for two years. I started back on CPAP when they quit selling it. That lasted about 6 months until a sleep doctor asked if I had tried the Bongos. Why didn’t anyone tell me about this product last year? It’s not perfect but better than my Provent. I wear two different sizes because my left side is a little bigger. I had to cut them in the middle so I could wear the different sizes and I can’t wear the head strap with it. Still, I’ve had two months of sleeping through the night without getting up to use the bathroom 4 times a night! My app says I’m not snoring and my pulse ox is reading 98 at night! I never got over 96 on my CPAP and didn't have watch gear for Provent. I haven't figured out how to reorder two sizes yet so I need to look into that. Too pricey to order 2 full year boxes.

I was very surprised how soon I acclimated to Bongos. I tried Provent and just couldn’t breathe with it. Even falling asleep with my mouth open didn't help because I would wake as soon as my mouth closed in sleep. I didn’t even have to do that with Bongo. The pillow keeps my sinuses more open and It’s just so much more comfortable. I do need my strap, though, because I’ve knocked the device out if my nose twice now. Still, this is so much better than the CPAP collecting dust in my closet. I’m not ashamed to bring my bongo with me to my partners in case I stay over. He’s actually over the moon that I don’t snore or toss around all night. Almost 3 weeks now and I can’t sleep without it now. One thing though, my insurance doesn’t cover this so it might be 2 or 300 every year now. It would be nice if it were free.

Easy to breathe in but extremely difficult to exhale through your nose. You have to work to force the air out of your nose. My sleep doctor said to breathe in and out through your mouth until you fall asleep and then this will work. Focusing on it makes it difficult to fall asleep and goes totally against everyone saying to breathe through your nose.

The starter kit was a great way to find the correct size to use.

I was running out of There ENT, received the bongo after a few attempts at the other stop snoring devices. Seems to be working, wife is not nudging me to roll over. Wish I could donate the 2 sizes I never used.

Wife loves it, less snoring plus I feel well rested in the morning

I have always hated the air blasting my eyes and mouth while I sleep. I wore a chin strap and covered my eyes too, but I still woke up with dry eyes, mouth sores (from the air drying out my mouth), and I felt tired. I found the BongoRX and asked my doc to sign the script DirectHomeMedical has on their site and he said OK. Yes, it was difficult to get used to, but I hated the dry eyes, mouth sores, and strap marks so I worked at it. OK, I admit it, I hated having my hair broken off and pulled out. Sure that's the least important reason, my looks. But if you are honest, no one likes it. My red, puffy eyes, sore mouth, and thinning hair drove me to find something else. 1. I started with the eXciteOSA to help - and it's working, so I am still using it. 2. I got the BongoRX and said goodbye to the head gear, goggles, mouth tape, and chin strap! Sadly, I still feel a little tired, just like I did with CPAP, but my hair is growing back, no chin straps, dry mouth, dry eyes, puppy bags under my eyes, or strap marks on my face. The BongoRX is not perfect, it's difficult to get used to, but it's worth the effort. Put it this way, the same results as far as energy and sleep, with less cost, easier to use, no headgear, no strap marks, no more red puffy eyes, or dry mouth. I have been freed from CPAP!

So the Bongos RX was twice as much as another device I was going to use. My nurse practitioner told me this was the one all the doctors there said to recommend so I splurged. Glad I did. This device is a dream to use and after starting, I finally sleep my 7 hours quietly and I didn't need the machine.
