The AIRWAAV mouthpiece: Elevate your training, recovery, and sleep 

When it comes to pushing your limits in training and ensuring your body recovers properly, AIRWAAV mouthpiece technology is designed to give you that extra edge. With three models available—two for performance and one for sleep —selecting the right AIRWAAV mouthpiece depends on your training needs, preferences, and goals. Whether you want to optimize your breathing during high-intensity workouts, brace better during heavy lifts, or improve your sleep quality, there’s a model for you. 

Performance Models: PX1 vs. PX2 

AIRWAAV's performance mouthpieces are engineered to enhance your strength, endurance, and recovery. Both models, PX1 and PX2, offer the same core benefits, but the key difference lies in their fit, making your decision largely based on personal preference. 

How the Performance Mouthpieces Work: 

1. Improved Airflow for Better Breathing 

Wearing the mouthpiece encourages you to tuck your tongue under the front intake bar, which opens up your airway by an average of 8-9%. This simple adjustment lowers your respiratory rate, allowing for more efficient breathing and increased oxygen delivery. The result is improved endurance and better overall performance during your workout. 

2. Strength Gains Through Clenching 

For strength-focused athletes, biting down on the mouthpiece during heavy lifts improves muscle activation. By engaging a greater portion of your muscles, you can boost your neuromuscular response and power through more intense lifts. Additionally, clenching will improve your ability to brace and create tension, allowing you to feel more explosive and stable.

3. Faster Recovery 

Clenching the mouthpiece also has benefits post-workout. In studies conducted at The Citadel, the AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece has been shown to reduce cortisol levels by up to 50%. This drop in cortisol helps speed up recovery, allowing you to bounce back quicker after tough workouts. 

PX1 vs. PX2: Which Fit Is Right for You? 

PX1: The PX1 provides a more relaxed fit—not too tight but comfortably secure—making it a great choice for athletes who prefer a less snug feel. It’s especially popular for activities like high-intensity interval training (HIIT), CrossFit, baseball, softball, and more.

PX2: For athletes who favor a snug, secure fit, the PX2 provides a tighter feel. This model is a popular choice for distance running, powerlifting, and monostructural conditioning. If you need a mouthpiece that stays firmly in place during heavy lifts or extended cardio sessions, the PX2 is likely the ideal choice.

While both models deliver the same benefits, choosing between the PX1 and PX2 comes down to how you prefer the mouthpiece to feel during your workouts. 

Can’t Decide? Try the Hybrid Pack 

If you’re unsure which model is best for you, AIRWAAV offers a Hybrid Pack that includes both the PX1 and PX2. This pack allows the flexibility to try both models and rotate between the two models depending on your workout for the day. 

Recovery Model: Sleep Better, Recover Faster 

While the PX1 and PX2 are designed to improve performance during training, AIRWAAV’s recovery model focuses on optimizing your breathing while you sleep. Good sleep is crucial for proper recovery, and this model helps you achieve better rest by improving nighttime breathing. 

The recovery mouthpiece is engineered with patented Reflex Technology, which triggers your tongue’s natural reflex to move forward, keeping it from obstructing your airway, which will prevent interrupted breathing and will improve overall sleep quality. 

Additionally, the recovery mouthpiece includes a bite plate that is designed to absorb clenching during the night. Its design helps keep the airway clear and encourages more relaxed, steady breathing while you sleep. 

AIRWAAV’s patented mouthpieces not only boost performance and recovery but are also built to last, typically holding up for six months to a year, depending on usage. No matter which model you choose, you’re investing in a durable, high-performance tool that can make a real difference in your training, recovery, and even sleep. Pick the one that best supports your goals and unlock the benefits of AIRWAAV today!
