What Our Customers Say

Life saver!

I ordered one of these over a year ago but didn’t use it much. Recently, I was in the hospital with pneumonia and remembered my PEP Buddy. It was a lifesaver during breathing treatments when I was struggling. They even considered ventilating me, but a respiratory tech calmed me down.

Small device, Big impact

This little device has changed my life. Everyday tasks like vacuuming, dishes, or shopping that used to leave me breathless are now manageable. I no longer dread doing things because I don’t suffer horrible breathlessness and pain anymore. It has truly improved my quality of life, and I’m so grateful!

Michelle Estes
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!

Review Text

We’re all different, but this little device made a big difference for me. My breathing improves quickly after just a few breaths. It’s worth trying. Oh, my dog chewed my first one, and I was frantic to replace it—that should tell you how valuable it is to me! - Adele
Helps in many ways

PEP Buddy has made a big difference with my air-trapping issues from lung disease. It helps me expel old air, take in new oxygen, and breathe better throughout the day. Whether exercising, meditating, or recovering from activity, this device helps me feel less fatigued and more calm. A game-changer!

Maja
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
Truly Amazing

I got my PEP Buddy this morning, and it’s already helping with exertion-related breathlessness. I started on Level 1 but also purchased Level 2 for the future. My pulse ox is now 99, and I can walk further without struggling for air. This device is truly amazing and life-changing!
