Long time ago, maybe twenty years, I did a surgery to correct a problem in my airways. I hadn’t success because I going on sleeping very badly. Late I discovered I got some heart disease and again I did two surgeries. I tried to use something to make better my sleep because my breathe it was worst all the time. I started to use something to open my airways, but the product hurt my nose and not solved my problem. I got Airmax and since I began to use it, I felt my self better and I have to use constantly day by day.

Since I was 16 I have had a lot of trouble with breathing because I have a hyper allergic nose- and mucous membrane. An operation in 2005 should have solved the problems, but to my disappointment they only became worse... As long as I'm standing upright, sitting or walking, I don't have a lot of trouble breathing, but when I'm working out or when I'm lying down I really can't get enough air. Waking up in the middle of the night because you can't get enough oxygen is very frightening. After having tried many respiratory aids, I finally discovered the Airmax. It's a fantastic solution. The plastic doesn't irritate my membranes. I don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore. My husband says I rarely snore nowadays and if I snore the sound I produce is minimal. Whilst working out I can breathe through my nose and not just through my mouth, which is a great relief. It's so much more comfortable, not having a dry throat any more, and of course, not swallowing any more bugs... I am very pleased with the Airmax.

The Airmax gave me extra air while participating in the Alpe D'Huez climb. This made it possible for me to finish my 6th climb on a single day of the Alpe D'Huez.

I have used the Airmax for more than a month but only during the night. The last version wouldn't stay in my nose but I can now conclude that this newer (Sport) version is in fact staying in place properly. I'm glad to see that you have made improvements. I am very satisfied with the Airmax and recommend it to everybody.

I started using the Airmax in the summer. I row 5000 meters once a week on my concept2 ergometer with a maximum hart rate of 90%. My speed increased overnight. A little less than 1 second per 500 meters. At first I thought that the difference was due to being in better shape for a few days. But after a while I realized that I was consistently a bit quicker on the 90% trainings, an average improved speed of half a second every 500 meters. When I row all out, I can't measure the difference in performance. Obviously I only go all-out during races, but my season did go very well this year. It's not the .5 second per 500 meters that I thought I had improved, meaning that my 2k time should improve by 2 seconds. Nonetheless I feel a noticeable difference is.
When do I use the Airmax? I use the Airmax in long distance training to get my body used to higher performance in races.

I'm sending you this mail, as I'm probably the most enthusiastic fan of your product.
I've used your product for several days now and the headaches that I have every morning are finally gone.
My husband is also using the Airmax and I'm finally relieved from his snoring. For years he had to rinse his nose every time he woke up, but with the Airmax he doesn't have to do that anymore!
The only downside is that his Airmax can fall out when he is sleeping. This is probably due to him have had a broken nose which has altered the natural internal shape of his nose.
If there is a solution possible for this it would be fantastic.
I use both the Sporter and the Snorer versions. Every morning, after I wake up, I use the Sporter version during my workout.
One word: FANTASTIC!

I usually don't write about products and my experience with them, but for the Airmax I am making an exception. I fly from Holland to Spain on a monthly basis and time after time I get these tremendous headaches (A sinusitis feeling) when the plane starts to land. I went to an ear, nose and throat specialist, who told me to use Otrivin. This went well for a short period of time but after a while the symptoms started coming back. I went to the doctor again and an appointment was made to move my nasal septum, I was told that this would not be a guarantee that my headaches would disappear. A few days later I read in the Dutch 'De Telegraaf' newspaper about the Airmax and wondered if this could solve my problem while in the air. After having had contact with Airmax they sent me this little miracle. I didn't believe it, but the Airmax solved my problem. In the meanwhile I have made 4 flights and my headaches have disappeared! I was able to call the hospital and tell them that I didn't need the scheduled surgery. I think I did the right thing by telling you about my experience but seriously doubt that I am the only one who is so enthused!

Joop Ruter is 75, but doesn't have trouble walking a marathon. This Rotterdam resident is an icon in the world of long distance running for seniors and holds countless records. Ever since he started using the Airmax, he breathes more freely and runs with even more ease. "My experience with this device is fantastic. You actually have more air. I never leave my house without Airmax, even in the freezing cold I can still suck air in through my nose. This year I will be able to really score in the marathons with my secret weapon. Maybe I can even break the records I set at a much younger age.

“This product is actually of use to me. My sensitive mucous membrane really irritated me a lot: I had to use nose drops constantly. Since I have the Airmax that is a thing of the past. Whenever I get the feeling that my membrane irritation is returning, I just use the Airmax for a few hours and the problem is gone! I see a real future in this product. In hospitals it could be a product for patient's who have sleeping disorders. It's small and easy to place inside your nose. You can barely feel it.”

The leisure activities my family and me really enjoy are horseback riding and walks in the mountains.
Although horseback riding does not seem like an intense sport, it is. Especially when the rider does not have a superb condition (like me). It's similar to judo. It only looks like they are just turning around a bit and after 1 blow the match is over. If you talk to a judoka, he can tell you that it is very intense. Not everything is like it seems, right?
I use the Sporter version for more air whilst sporting, but also whenever I have a sinus infection. It also works perfectly then. I really love this product. I like to compare it to the paperclip, simple but works like a charm.

I recognized the system from back in the day. Endurance Athletes used a band-aid on their nose. It wasn't a real success because the band-aid kept falling off due to perspiration. "Now that the Airmax is here this problem is solved. Whilst biking you really feel that you are getting more air and you are able to really concentrate on your breathing. Our guests were really excited and we got really good feedback. I realized in some cases slight resistance (Doesn't it look silly, biking around with something like that up my nose?) but as soon as 1 person put it in, the others soon followed. I noticed that the recreational, athletic and competition bikers all enjoyed using the test set. 2 of our guests participated in a famous international 5-day endurance bicycle race and were the fastest in their age class out of 150 participants.

I would like to share my experience with Airmax - for me it works like a charm. I have always had problems with breathing when I sleep on my right side. This was occasionally accompanied (as I have been told) by heavy snoring. Airmax has solved this problem. However, it does take a week or two to get used to, but it's definitely worth it.
