PEP Buddy: Breathing Device

$27.50 Limited-Time Pricing

This selection includes:

• 1 PEP Buddy Device

• 1 Standard Case

• 1 Black Lanyard

The two levels of PEP buddy (Level 1 and Level 2) have different levels of airflow resistance and hence create different levels of back pressures. You may find that a certain Level works better for you. 

Most people with COPD find it easy to start with a Level 1 device and then progress to Level 2. For those who practice mindful breathing or pursed-lip breathing, Level 2 device may be better to start. 

People who are new at practicing mindful breathing will find Level 1 device easier to use. 

        Breathing Device Levels

        Most people with COPD find it easy to start with a Level 1 device and then either progress to Level 2 or keep using Level 1.

        People who are new at practicing mindful breathing will find Level 1 device easier to use.

        But for those who already practice mindful breathing, Level 2 device may be better.

        Why people love PEP Buddy

        "Just recieved my Pep Buddy. Wondered if I got 'took', that such a simple device could be helpful! But it is!! I used it in the shower and it was the easiest shower l've taken in a long time !! I'm stage 4 emphysema, got a level #2. I found it works best to just breathe not force the exhale- sure helps. Thank you so very much to the developers!!! I will wear it proudly !!"

        Deb Fortier

        "This little device has changed my life. I know that sounds crazy but, all my activities are now so much easier. A chore like vacuuming that used to take me an hour due to constantly having to stop to catch my breath now takes 15 mins. I no longer dread doing things - dishes, walking, shopping, cleaning - have all become normal activities again that don't stress me out because I know what the end result will be - horrible breathlessness and pain. Not anymore. So grateful!!"

        Michelle Estes

        "PEP Buddy is worth the price and much more for me. I wear it under my shirt, pull it out and use it while driving or just sitting at the computer or watching TV. I really like the small size. Always available for when you really need it. YES, It does help with removing mucus.."

        Karen Deitemeyer

        "It helps me to calm down. Instead of fixating on not getting enough air, I focus on keeping the device in my mouth. It distracts me from stress."

        Brandon Smith

        "My biggest positive about the device is that it retrained me how to breathe properly in a more comfortable way while being active. I have never been able to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth before. It's like pursed-lip breathing, but better and easier"

        Susan

        "My issue is air trapping. I use it in many situations: first thing in the morning as my body adjusts from a lying down position to being upright; prior to using an inhaler; before and during exercise: walking, playing tennis, doing yoga, and meditation. As my activity level increases, the device helps me to expel trapped air and breathe using the diaphragm, getting a fuller and deeper breath. It is better than just pursed lip breathing alone. I can play longer points in tennis and it helps with recovery between points. I can breathe more deeply when I use it while doing yoga and meditating. If I find myself short of breath as I go about my day or breathing shallowly, taking a moment to breathe using the PEP Buddy helps me to be calmer."
