My personal testimony & why you should have a LifeVac home kit.

I never thought choking would happen to me, until it did. Here’s why everyone should have the LifeVac home kit device in their home, car, or even when traveling.

Did you know 5,000 people choke to death every year in the US? This product is proven to be 100% effective and safe for adults, kids, or yourself.

While sitting at the dinner table with my family, 7.5 months pregnant, I suddenly started choking on my food. This has never happened to me in my life, so the panic hit fast. I couldn’t breathe for what felt like forever (about a full minute), and in that moment, my mind went straight to fear. Not just for myself, but for my baby too. It was one of the scariest experiences I’ve ever had, and I felt completely helpless.

My husband panicked and was hesitant to start the Heimlich maneuver, as he didn’t want to hurt the baby. Also, my family was like, “Wait, is she really choking, or is this a joke?” You never truly know how you’ll react in an emergency until it happens.

By a miracle, my body expelled the food, and the baby and I were okay. However, I could not shake the “what if” thoughts or thinking about how tragic this could have ended up, since we were so unprepared.

There was no question that we needed to be better prepared, and that’s what finally pushed me to purchase the LifeVac HomeKit.

I had already seen LifeVac before and knew a few friends who owned one. It’s designed to help clear airway obstructions quickly and doesn’t require complicated steps or medical training to use, which was huge for me.

In an emergency, seconds truly matter, and having something simple and intuitive on hand can make all the difference in a life-or-death situation.

How to use LifeVac:

You simply place the mask over the choking person’s mouth, push down, and pull up. The LifeVac doesn’t push any air into the mouth when going in a downward motion, only outward when pulled up, thanks to its one-of-a-kind patented design.

LifeVac is the only non-invasive airway clearing device in the world and is proven to be 100% effective to date, with no adverse effects.

One of the biggest perks I didn’t expect?

LifeVac HomeKits are HSA and FSA eligible!

Since my husband has an HSA card through work. If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use those pre-tax dollars to pay for it. Honestly, that made this feel like a no-brainer purchase. Peace of mind without really touching your regular budget!

LifeVac cost, if you’re paying out of pocket:

The LifeVac Kit is as low as $69.98 (reg. $79.99). Plus, if you ever need to use yours in an emergency, they’ll replace it for FREE.

Truly, such a small investment if it’s something that could save yours or a loved one’s life one day.

I truly hope I never have to use it, but after my experience, I can’t imagine not having one in my home. It’s one of those safety items you don’t realize you need until you do, and once you have it, you’ll be really glad it’s there.


Does LifeVac work? Check out these testimonies from the 14,000 5-star reviews:

“As an ER physician and a new parent, choking comes unexpectedly and takes lives. This is necessary for anyone with babies. If they are choking, this is your best bet as standard practices don’t work and can damage soft, developing tissue.” – Michael

“My adult son choked today on French fries while I was driving on the freeway. He was not moving air and was very scared. I pulled onto the shoulder and was able to frantically put it together and used it on him. With 2 plunges, the French fries were out, and he was breathing. It took a matter of seconds to put together and use it, and he was moving air. Because of this device, my son is alive! Thank god! It is definitely worth the money. I am going to buy more!” – Tina 

“Is your life or your child’s life worth LESS than 100 bucks to you? This product is absolutely worth every penny. And I’ll still be very happy to have bought it, even if I don’t ever get to use it. I know it is there if I ever need it. This thing is absolutely fantastic. I’ve practiced a few times, and from what I saw, it can very well save a life, in those critical few minutes you have, before the person becomes so deprived of oxygen and ultimately dies. Very easy to use. I’m grateful for it.” – Angel
