Bongo RX Starter Kit

Pocket-size EPAP therapy with Bongo Rx—no power needed

Ultra-compact, mask-free

Trade hoses and headgear for simple, mask‑free therapy. The AirAvant Bongo Rx uses your own breath to create Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP), helping keep your airway open through the night. With no machine, water, or cords, it slips into a pocket for spur‑of‑the‑moment travel and fits easily into bedtime routines at home. Soft silicone cushions seal gently inside the nostrils, and a detachable head strap adds stability if you want it. It’s an FDA‑approved CPAP alternative for mild–moderate OSA that’s also FAA/TSA compliant for flights.

  • No machine, hoses, or water
  • Fits in a pocket or carry‑on
  • Electricity‑free therapy anywhere
  • FAA/TSA compliant for flights

How EPAP works

Bongo Rx leverages your exhale to create gentle back‑pressure that helps keep the airway open. Valves open on inhale for easy airflow and narrow on exhale to maintain pressure.

  • Insert the soft silicone nasal pillows.
  • Inhale—valves open for free airflow.
  • Exhale—valves narrow to build positive pressure.
  • Pressure braces soft tissues to reduce blockages and snoring.

Right fit, right use

Start with the Starter Kit’s four sizes (S–XL) to dial in comfort and seal; use the optional head strap for added stability. EPAP therapy with Bongo Rx is for nasal‑only breathing and works best when you sleep with your mouth closed; consider a supportive chinstrap like the Premium Chinstrap if needed. Daily soap‑and‑water care keeps cushions fresh, and silicone construction is latex‑free for peace of mind.

  • Try all four sizes to find your seal
  • Use strap for added stability (optional)
  • Breathe through the nose, mouth closed
  • Replace nasal inserts about every 90 days
EPAP fit & safety at a glance

EPAP therapy isn’t for everyone. Bongo Rx is designed for people with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (AHI 5–30) who can breathe through the nose and typically need low–moderate CPAP pressures.

You’ll get the best results if you keep your mouth closed during sleep or support it with a chinstrap. Bongo Rx isn’t recommended if you’re a habitual mouth breather, have severe OSA, require high CPAP pressures, or experience ongoing sinus issues, significant nasal blockage, severe respiratory or heart conditions, or chronically low blood pressure.

When in doubt, review your suitability with your clinician and use the Starter Kit to test comfort and fit before moving to the Annual Pack.

How EPAP with Bongo Rx works

Bongo Rx opens on inhale for easy airflow and narrows on exhale to create gentle back‑pressure that helps keep your airway open. The result is steadier breathing and fewer disruptions, with many users also noting less snoring over time. For a closer look at real‑world use, see our Bongo Rx review.

  • Valves open on inhale for free airflow.
  • Valves narrow on exhale to maintain positive pressure.
  • Pressure helps brace soft tissues to reduce blockages.

Find your size and dial in comfort

The Starter Kit includes all four cushion sizes so you can find the most comfortable, leak‑free fit. Try each size and use the included head strap if you want added stability. For a quick walkthrough, watch How to Find Your Bongo Rx Size. Bongo Rx cushions are silicone and latex‑free. If you tend to mouth‑breathe, EPAP requires keeping your mouth closed; consider pairing with a supportive Premium Chinstrap to maintain a consistent seal.

FAQs about the AirAvant Medical Bongo Rx EPAP Starter Kit

How does Bongo Rx work?

When you breathe in, the valves for the Bongo RX open, allowing air to pass into the nose. When you exhale, the valves close and leave a smaller opening for the air to escape. This smaller opening creates the pressure needed to open the airway, allowing air to reach the lungs.

Where is the Bongo Rx made?

Bongo Rx is an American-made product, based in the United States.

Should I choose the Bongo Rx Starter Kit or Annual Pack?

Our Bongo Rx Starter Kit is perfect for anyone who is just starting out with Bongo Rx EPAP therapy and does not already know their Bongo Rx cushion size. Once you've made sure the Bongo Rx is right for you and you've found your cushion size, it's time to take the next step with our Annual Pack. This yearly supply pack includes four EPAP devices in your select size.

Is Bongo Rx right for me?

EPAP devices like Bongo Rx are often suggested to people who have mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea and have struggled to adjust to traditional CPAP therapy. EPAP therapy only works for people who can safely breathe through their nose and sleep with their mouth closed.

    So far so very good

    I purchased this for my mild/moderate sleep apnea for when I'm traveling more than 2 days from home.

    A relative recommended it for me, and I'm so glad she did.

    I slept very well the first and kept at the next 2 nights and woke up once and fell to sleep easily .

    I think it is a good invention and I'm super glad to have moved on it.

    Air Avant Medical Bongo-😖

    The Bongo has not been effective. I would like to have a refund, however, that will never happen. This was a waste.

    I believe the Bongo should be taken off the market. The Bongo doesn’t keep track of your breathing, oxygen or events. So, you (or your physician) are not even able to track the results, or lack thereof!

    Trial Bongo Rx

    Recently had a sleep test that showed mild OSA. I’d been using a CPAP machine since OSA was much worse. Decided to give BongoRX starter kit a try. Took me a few days to find correct nasal size and now getting used to how it works. So much better than than CPAP! After a few more weeks of trial I hope to eventually order regular yearly kit.

    It does help me sleep, but the headband is uncomfortable.

    Hard to get used to

    I've tried this for a week and am still not sure it's fitting well. I haven't slept through the night yet without it falling out. The head strap hurts my nostrils.
