What Our Customers Say

I recommend this..

I've been using PEP BUDDY for a few days now. It helps me be more mindful of my breath and relax tense muscles. I can use it hands-free while watching TV in my recliner.

I recommend this device to every single COPD patient - it's a win-win. I even shared it with my palliative care nurse and pulmonologists so they can recommend it to their patients.

Jimmy Slover
Surprisingly good

My doctor suggested PEP Buddy after a lung function test, and I couldn’t imagine how helpful this small device would be. It has been so beneficial for my breathing and overall health. I’m very thankful for this recommendation—it’s made such a positive impact on my daily life!

Susan Frank
Reduces Anxiety

I have been using the PEP Buddy for management of severe tracheobronchomalacia, and it has been remarkably effective. The device also reduces the anxiety that can exacerbate stridor as well. I am very grateful to my interventional pulmonologist for introducing me to this tool.

Liz Briggs
Much better breathing

As a COPD patient, I’ve struggled for years. My first PEP Buddy arrived today, and I noticed a difference immediately—it’s a miracle! I just ordered Level 2 because I’m determined to find relief. This device has already made me so happy. It feels like it’s truly saving my life!
