Venum Challenger Mouthguard - Black/Blue

I have tried several mouthguards for jiu jitsu, probably 4-5 at least. I have a smaller bite but not small enough to buy a junior size, which I have hoping it would fit but it still didn't work out. I've tried brands such as Sisu, shock doctor, and dental athletic sports mouthguards. I am not saying those brands are not good or not effective, but just simply that it didn't work out for me. Every other product gave me a strong gag reflex or it was extremely uncomfortable, and unfortunately, since these types of products are non-returnable, I just had to eat the costs. I finally decided to pull the trigger again and purchase this. I was skeptical at first because I just initially tried it on and it was a bit small. But once I boiled it and fit it in, it was a perfect fit. The instructions say that if you must, you can cut some of the outer edges with scissors and I did just that. It gave me the most perfect fit and it is not uncomfortable whatsoever. Also, for the price, you really can't beat it. I was almost about to give up after multiple times of spending money, but I finally landed on the one. Even my husband said, "it's about dam time."

This is perfect for sparring and every day boxing workouts. Way better than just a regular mouthpiece. It’s does allow to help breathe easy with it in . Would recommend it to anyone who wants a better mouthpiece for training

The Venum Mouth Guard has completely transformed my experience in combat sports, and I can't help but rave about it. This moldable mouthguard is a game-changer in terms of comfort, protection, and ease of use. The process of molding the mouth guard to fit your teeth is straightforward and highly effective. Simply submerge it in hot water as directed, and within minutes, it becomes pliable and ready to shape. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to customize it to my unique dental structure. The instructions provided are clear and concise, ensuring a perfect fit every time. Once molded, the Venum Mouth Guard feels like a natural extension of my mouth. The snug fit provides a level of comfort I've never experienced with other mouthguards. It doesn't shift or slip during intense training sessions, allowing me to focus entirely on my performance. This comfort is crucial for me, as it significantly reduces distractions and discomfort during sparring and training. In terms of protection, this mouth guard excels. It provides a cushioning effect that absorbs impacts effectively, reducing the risk of dental injuries. I've taken some heavy hits while wearing it, and it has held up exceptionally well, safeguarding my teeth and gums. I also appreciate the durability of the Venum Mouth Guard. It's designed to withstand the wear and tear of rigorous training and competitions. Even after several months of use, it has maintained its shape and protective qualities. Cleaning and maintenance are hassle-free. A quick rinse with water and mild soap is all it takes to keep it fresh and hygienic. The included case makes storage convenient and ensures that it remains clean between uses. In conclusion, the Venum Mouth Guard is a must-have for anyone involved in combat sports. Its moldable design guarantees a comfortable and secure fit, while the level of protection it offers is outstanding. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, investing in this mouth guard is an essential step in safeguarding your dental health. I can't recommend it enough – it's truly a game-changer in mouth protection!

**THERE IS A VERY HELPFUL TIP TO MOLDING THIS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF REVIEW** -Yes ppl, it looks incredibly small when u receive the item (tho it actually looks only slightly smaller than the mouth guard that came with his sparring gear), but just as the 'adult' mouth guard reviewers say- it LOOKS way too small BUT when you actually heat it and fit it, it FITS PERFECTLY...lets also not forget that A KID'S MOUTH IS ACTUALLY MUCH SMALLER on the inside THAN U REALIZE (even tho they may have a "big mouth" with how they speak sometimes lol)...surprisingly the sizing was only a tad too small when my 10&1/2 yr old first put it in his mouth (BEFORE MOLDING IT) as it looks like it would b way too small before u mold it, but as I said the inside of their mouths r actually pretty tiny (even a 10yr old's mouth), but AFTER GOING THRU THE PROCESS it was the PERFECT SIZE (it EXPANDS FROM THE HEAT, as I expected it would, it's SCIENCE guys)!!..after spending sooo much time searching for a decent child's mouth guard and reading tons of reviews, I finally decided on the venum challenger line, then I debated a long time on whether to get him the child size or the adult size, since hes right between both sizes according to their age ranges (10 and under for kids, 11 and up for adult..he's literally smack dab in the middle of that), and am GLAD I WENT with the SMALLER (kids sized) ONE, as I'm sure the adult one would've been much too large and bulky and would've made breathing a bit harder..after reading all the adult reviewers- thinking it looked too small, but then fitting it and it being the perfect size- I finally decided on going with the kids hoping for the same results, since it also looked too small from reviewers' pics of the kid sized, but I figured once heated it would also fit perfectly just as the adults said theirs did..which it did for us as well!!..and I'm glad I went with the kid's... - Now to the 1 PROBLEM I encountered (and reason for dropping a star)- I followed the instructions to a T (twice actually) and used a timer n everything (even had him practice placing it on his teeth in the mirror with it before heating it to mold it) so he'd get the perfect fit, and his mouth guard, while being the correct size after molding it (both times) WILL NOT STAY SITTING ON HIS TEETH and slips down off of his teeth when he opens his mouth, it's not supposed to do this. I've come to realize that the REASON it doesn't stay sitting on his teeth properly is because he BIT DOWN TOO HARD during the molding process...the reason he bit down so hard is cuz I told him to bite down hard, and I told him to do this because the instructions say "BITE DOWN FIRMLY"...I now realize that that is actually a bad thing to do and it RUINS THE FIT IF U BITE DOWN HARD, cuz then the teeth go straight thru to the bottom black (the outer layer of hard plastic) and have no red waxy mold left to hold them in place...we did the sucking and pressing all around the mouth guard while fitting, so the sides all around the teeth r molded and fit well, but unfortunately without the red stuff in place in the bottom tray to give the teeth that hold, it will NOT STAY in place..by biting down so hard, it displaced all the red wax and left nothing in the bottom of the tray to hold the teeth in place..We did the process twice hoping to get it to stay seated on teeth, but it WON'T no matter how many times we re-do it, cuz there is NO RED WAX layer LEFT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TRAY from biting down thru it and displacing it all....THEREFORE, the instructions, while being pretty decent throughout for the most part, WILL MESS U UP if you "BITE DOWN FIRMLY"...I believe u must be a bit more careful when u bite down during molding and DON'T BITE DOWN THRU ALL THE RED WAX down to the black...so BITE, BUT NOT HARD,b a bit gentle with the bite!!!! -So while the mouth guard is the CORRECT SIZE and fits well, it doesn't stay put on his teeth, and now we will need to get a new one that will stay seated, otherwise every time he opens his mouth in karate to breath better (which everybody needs to do while exercising of any sort), it will fall off..not cool..the INSTRUCTIONS RUINED our $10 mouth guard and now I will have to spend another $10 on another one, making this $20 for ONE well fitted MOUTH GUARD, and I'm not happy about that :/ -But to all that sent the item back then came on here to leave a BAD REVIEW cuz it "looks too small" without even bothering to try molding it first- u should've given it a try and done the molding process before u decided it wouldn't fit!! That's just silly imo (and I think I've thoroughly explained why...again it's science...). -To the manufacturers- Print BETTER INSTRUCTIONS, that DON'T SAY to BITE DOWN FIRMLY, u should change it to- bite down, but not too hard to where u go thru to the bottom of the tray and lose all grip from the wax under the teeth, u need to leave some of the wax between the bottoms of the teeth and the black outer tray, to actually create the hold u need to keep it in place!! BITE DOWN CAREFULLY... ***hopefully this helps someone, cuz I sure wish I had known this before ruining our $10 mouth guard, and if this has been informative for u then please click 'helpful' below***

I've tried cheap Title mouthguards in the past, and both flattened out into demented triangular pancakes as soon as they were boiled. This one worked much better: the instructions were clear and it fit well on the first try. Protection, breathability were pretty good; I didn't have any problems during my Taekwondo tournament.

Well made

works well for wrestling, relatively easy fitting process and if u mess up the material can be made malleable again. make sure to suck aggressively and press against ur teeth, the tighter the fit and the more padding BEHIND the teeth, the better

I’ve used this for a few months now for Jiujitsu and Kickboxing and It is a good starter mouthguard with good protection and quite comfortable. I will say with heavy use, mine did end up ripping and getting torn up and I will be needing a new mouthguard, I think I am going to step away from Boil and bites or find a more durable mouthguard.
