 Hey guys Alex here from alexfegers.com and in this video I'm going to do an updated Review of the SomniFix mouth strips. These strips allow you to nose breathe at night and stop you from mouth breathing I'm not going to get into their science or the wise and The reasoning behind this because it's been done many times. I'll put some links below This is more for someone who is aware of that Issue and is looking for the best product for their needs Speaking of which I have got multiple Mouth taping mouth Restrictive breathing. I don't know what they call it mouth tapes. We got multiple types of these products Not just SomniFix I've got a few other ones as well what I'm going to do in the coming weeks is I'm going to compare them all I'm going to test them all and then compare them all in one big video To help you find the best product for your needs and factor in things like price packaging looks appearance The what else what is how well it sticks during the night, of course how well it works safety all these things that's going to come later on So be sure to subscribe to that in this video I'm going to use a scoring system that I've developed for that comparison and I'm going to apply it to this video to this product Sorry, we're going to look at five things stick ability practicality price Safety and everything else and I'm going to score score everything from one to five was there to five based on that and they get an overall score Let's do this first for SomniFix and I'll explain the scoring as we go through first things first stick ability How well does the SomniFix mouth strip stick does it stay on during the night can use it multiple nights? Or is it something that comes off? I mean what happens if you pull it off to have a drink and put it back on does it stick again? Zero being horrible. No it doesn't stick five being yes It's amazing and you can use it for multiple nights. SomniFix would be a five a definite five Not only does it stay on all night? If you take it off to have a drink or you're gonna talk to your wife or something and put it back on it continues to stick But even better than that you can use this again and again and again during the week So I have used this for five I think actually my record is six six nights with one strip before the stick ability If that's a word before the stickiness gave out Obviously, that's not what SomniFix want you to do. They want you to use one strip every night And then dispose of it. But yeah, like I said, you can reuse them So what I do is I take one of the strips here You open it up and you get a bunch of plastic on it You peel that off Once you're finished using it you can stick it back on the case that came with the wrapping sorry it came with and Use that again the next night. So definitely a five out of five for stick ability For the second category, we look at safety. Is it safe to use? Does it is it easy to remove if there's an emergency? Doesn't allow you to take a little bit of of a breath through your mouth if for some reason you've got a blocked nose Are the other risks such as choking or any other hazards? so I can say with SomniFix that They're really really good on the safety front. In fact, I'm gonna give them a five out of five because Firstly, there is a very little vent Let me show you There's a very very little vent a small vent. I don't know if you can see that in the middle of the strip that allows some breathing through the mouth you can take a few short Small breaths, but it'd be very hard to do it all night So the body reverts back to a breathing through the nose, which is what you want So that is good. Secondly, there are some tabs on this side of the strip here that without any adhesive So that means you can quickly grasp either side and pull it off. Let me show you very easy Likewise with one side finally you can use your tongue and if you've seen my other videos I've gone into this in a little bit more detail But if you push your tongue out, it'll pop it off again. I'll show you and you can open your mouth easy I have had other strips with not so many fix other brand strips where um, they're so They stick on so good that even if you try to open your mouth or poke your tongue out on it You can't get them off and you got to rip it off And it's a little bit scary like if you wake up in a panic you hear a noise or you know You've had a bad dream or whatever. You're not used to using these So I'm safety for so many fix definitely a five out of five. I haven't had any other issues again I've used these for a year or two. So the next round is practicality. How well does it work? Does it stop you breathing through your mouth and instead make you breathe through the nose? Now I I'm gonna be a little bit critical of some effects here. So five being yes, it's absolutely perfect zero being It's terrible. It's a waste of time. Um, you could argue this would be a four and a half What I found is if you're breathing through there, it's quite hard It's like restricted breathing almost breathing through a straw a couple of straws It's possible, but it's very it's very hard. So your body wants to breathe through the nose or breathe through otherwise But they're happy nights and this is very very rare But it has happened when I have been in a certain position And I found that hey look I can actually breathe through my mouth. You're like But it does take a conscious thought so whether that would continue all night I don't think so which is why I'm saying it's probably four and a half five Four four on a bad day five on a good day. Um, so, you know what? I'm going to um, I'm going to give them four and a half. Yeah four and a half for the Practicality addiction Next up we have price now so many fix sell a box one box here, which has 28 mouth strips in it They sell that for 22 dollars 22 us dollars. They have given me a discount code to share with you It's alex figures 10 it may have changed by the time you're watching this So always check the description below that will save you 10 percent. So it brings it down to about 20 dollars um, which is which is reasonable uh the the per strip cost so The cost for one strip that works out to be about 70 cents, I believe. Um But the other good thing is You can buy multiple packs at once and the price comes down In fact, you can buy a whole year's worth 12 boxes, I believe it is and this works out to be 55 cents per night Which is you know, it's a good saving 70 odd cents down to 50 odd cents good saving but the um The real plus here is the fact that you can reuse these and this is what I said before you can reuse these over and over Maybe three nights safely Five six nights at a stretch But if you're doing that that's going to drop the price right down if you're doing if you're getting one strip for five nights For instance, I mean and you're doing the whole 12 uh month bulk pack, you know, it's a 10 12 15 cents a night, which is which is very very cheap Most people aren't going to do that even myself like I typically reuse them Two nights maybe three nights now on average. Um, and I feel like that's a pretty good sweet spot where you've still got Plenty of stickiness on there. Um, it's not getting a little bit It's not getting too messy and yuck when you look at it. Um, but you're getting good value as well So based on that based on all those factors, I'm going to give sony fix four out of five for price For the final round I look at everything else. So we look at appearance. We look at ease of application um, the packaging and mess uh travel friendly and whether you can communicate with it so Appearance wise sony fix are great. I mean it is uh slightly Translucent um It is a slightly translucent strip So it's not like bright red and people can see it from a distance In fact, I have one that's on the plane and you know, I'm people walking past probably wouldn't even know So that is that is awesome. Uh ease of use ease of application. Uh, it's It's easy. There's just a lot of packaging you gotta you gotta Open the box if you've just got the box under it One packet or one strip open the packet up Take that out take off the plastic strip and then put it on and then um, so it's not too bad But you know, there's a few steps involved and then secondly you you end up with a lot of rubbish And this is one thing I don't like about sony fixes You you if you don't this right before bed you open it up You've got this packaging then you've got the strip and then of course you've got the tape the next day After a few days, if you're not picking that up every morning, um, you end up with a lot of mess and um, you know That is one downside. I feel like it could have been done a little bit with a little less Plastic and a little less paper a little less packaging Uh travel friendliness. Yeah, great. I mean if you're going to wait for a few nights Sure, you can just take all your strips or you can just take what you want You're gonna wait for two three nights take two strips. You're gonna wait for a week Take half a dozen whatever. Um, very easy to do. In fact, I have um Put some of these in my travel bag. So I can just grab my travel bag and I know there's some in there Um, you know handy to have and finally can you talk with these on? Let me show you All right, so that's on um, I do have to talk rather loudly and quite pronounced But it is possible. So if you do have this on and I don't know your partner is next to you or Something happens. You you need to communicate something. You can do it. Uh, again, you're not gonna have a full conversation with it but um, it is possible so for the other Everything else category. I'm gonna give somebody fix a four out of five Uh, the only reason I'm not giving them five because they do tick all the boxes The only reason I won't give them a full five is just all the packaging that's involved It's just a lot of paper a lot of plastic and a lot of mess and that is a bit of a bummer When we add up all the scores here, we're going to get a total of 22.5 out of 25 Which is an excellent score for some of the facts and um, it's probably why The probably the most popular um company for mouth tapes on the market But how do they stand up against the computers?
