Breather Blue - Case
Margaret Greenblatt
Nifty!

Compact and nicely made. Will be good protection from breakage.

Hopefully it will get better

I’ve been using the device for a little over a week now, and my voice is cracking MORE at gigs now. I sure hope it gets better the longer I use it!

The Breather

I've been using the Breather for a couple of years and just bought one for my wife. Works great

Breather Case

Could be a little larger the breather doesn't fit very well in it. But maybe that protects it better?

The Breather

works well, just needs a little more feedback so a person knows they are improving. The sound might be a little louder??

Breathing better!

The newest Breather is a lot better than the earlier version. No disintegration of parts that crumble upon breathing. Thank you!

adapt and adjust

It comes with instructions and recommendations. It was difficult at first. I adapted and adjusted and my slow increase has truly helped. I am getting stronger and at my pace without going into low oxygen saturation count I am getting stronger. Use this product at your pace not recommended instructions. you know your body.

No support so far, not sure on how to operate it

I called support line, no one ever called me back. Everything I’ve read since it’s supposed to Bluetooth on an app on your phone for use, can’t figure out how to do that and no one has reached out to support me yet. It’s been over a week.
If someone is interested in reaching out to me, my name is Ricky at [****]

Breather

So far, so good

Easy to use

Well designed, compact and easy to use. Seems to be effective as well

Great help in helping me to learn to swallow again.

Well designed, easy to use, portable. Highly recommend the Breather.

Voice

This breather is going to be very good for me to improve my singing and talking voice by making breathing much stronger. Easy to use and I like the coaching for the exercises. I will definitely continue daily exercises. Very pleased with this!

Yep I can breath better with these exercises.

Works for the purpose of strengthening my diaphragm. Fine so far. A lot of work for me here. Best to set up a program with a Speech Therapist .
Has a common, though not mentioned by the company, feature, of making one cough, which is not comfortable. This is actually a benefit - but it doesn't feel great. I can tell it's working.

I need Air

So far I am liking this product.
It is easy to use where ever you are and that I like

Case keeps sand out

We are family of surfers and everybody has a breather fit. The case is the best thing to keep the sand out of the devices.

The Perfect Case

I had purchased a generic case for my Breather Fit, but this case is better quality and of course it looks great.

I've just started using it but so far really feel like it's helping me breathe better

Love it

able to control resistance to note progress and good days/bad days (COPD), and fits in with related breathing exercises.

Very cool device, will definitely keep using it

Builds your respitory functions

Excellent tool ... I think!

I find it a little weird to review this after having it in hand less than a week, but I have used it every day since I got it and previously had the "basic" breather I used for a few weeks (before my dog got hold of it). I originally bought the breather because I had been a long term smoker and this past year had multiple respiratory infections. I felt the breather may help me clear and strengthen my lungs. When my dog crunched my first one, I went to the Breather Fit because I still feel quite hopeful, but also because I was almost to the highest settings on the first Breather. Well, I'm now on the highest settings on the Fit, which kind of concerns me. However, there are more directions and hints with the Fit that I'm finding valuable so I'm still feeling pretty good about it. I'd rather be asked for a review after I've used it for a few months, but there you go.

How to clean the Breather?

Rinse your Breather well; shake off excess water and air dry on a clean paper towel. If it is completely dry, it can be stored in a plastic bag.

Which Breather is right for me?

This is important because your inspiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm, typically gain strength quicker than your expiratory muscles.
