How do I apply the BetterSax mouthpiece cushions to my instrument?

Applying these cushions is simple. First, ensure your mouthpiece is clean and dry.

How often should I replace my mouthpiece cushion?

The lifespan of a mouthpiece cushion depends on how often you play and your playing style.

Replacing them regularly ensures optimal protection, comfort, and hygiene for your mouthpiece.
