Do you find the single or double mouthguard to be more comfortable?

    I think i am one of the few to find the double actually more comfortable than just the upper single mouthguard. Dont know why...

    i had the double from everlast. used it a lot then lost it. bought another and used it then lost it too. but yes i preffer the double myself. never tried the single. i just cut a little off the ends and go to work.

    gets a lil clogged with saliva an makes me drool every once in a while tho.

    I've only tried the single. But I'm going to give the double a try.

    Never felt the need to try a double, I have a single moulded by a dentist and sometimes I've nearly gone home forgetting that it is in. Took a few weeks to wear in though as it dug into a certain area of my gum but now it's perfect. Think I payed 20 quid for a clear one as he did quite a few at once in our gym but they're usually about 40? And 5 quid extra for colouring. Well worth it to me anyway.

    Only with those crappy ones that are really hard and don't fit well.

    Single, but to be fair I used a crappy double which leaked spit like said above.

    Thats weird, i've never had drool come out the opening. And i am a heavy drooler according to my dentist lol. Maybe the middle opening of the mouthguard is not as good as the others? I use the shockdoctor pro double and its comfortable and no drool. I had the cleto reyes double mouthguard also and it felt very good too.

    Just tryed the double, and couldn't harldy use it. I don't have the most perfect teeth, and my front bottom tooth is like not in line with the others, and growing kind of out the side of the gum. Bought one of the doubles, tryed to mold it, and it'd cut the **** out of my gum right there. Couldn't mold it to really go over the tooth. Tryed another one, and it still didn't fit right so I just went back to one of my old single ones.

    Double mouth guards aren't very popular not because of drool problems, but they are more likely to cut your lips and gums if you take a punch. I'm not really sure why, but they do have a reputation for just not being as good. I would recommend a single for anybody.
