Vocal Humidifier

Anyone who uses their voice professionally or extensively benefits from a vocal cord humidifier. This includes singers, actors, musical theatre performers, public speakers, race callers, auctioneers, comedians, teachers, and broadcasters. Hydrated vocal cords perform better, recover faster from strain and are less prone to injury.

Drinking water hydrates the body systemically but does not directly reach the vocal cords. Steam, as a vapour, can travel directly through the respiratory tract and reach the vocal cords, providing direct moisture to the tissue. The fine ultrapure mist produced by Mypurmist (less than 5 microns in particle size) reaches places that larger particles of steam from a bowl or room humidifier cannot.

Mypurmist uses a patented Capillary Force Vaporiser (CFV) — previously only available in FDA-cleared PARI Hydrate Omni hospital ventilator humidifiers. This technology generates instant steam through capillary action, with no boiling water present at any time. The device can be turned upside down safely without any hot water escaping.

Mypurmist is designed with multiple safety features: no boiling water, active microprocessor temperature control (37.7°C–46.1°C), automatic shutdown when water runs out, a 10-minute automatic drying cycle, medical-grade HEPA filtration, and a sealed low-voltage rechargeable battery. No other personal humidifier currently on the market combines all of these safety features.

Yes. Steam inhalation is a widely recommended natural therapy for reducing inflammation in the upper respiratory system. Warm moist air delivered directly to the vocal cords via Mypurmist helps to soothe swollen vocal folds, thin and loosen mucous, and ease congestion. Ruva Ngwenya (Tina Turner the Musical) uses Mypurmist every night specifically to help reduce swelling on her vocal cords after performing.

Mypurmist is extremely simple to use. Fill the water reservoir with Mypurmist Ultrapure Sterile Water, switch on the unit, place the mask over your nose and mouth, and breathe normally. The device takes no time to produce steam. There is no preparation required and no cleanup — the device dries itself automatically after each use.

Yes. Mypurmist runs an automatic 10-minute drying cycle every time it is turned off. This dries all internal components and prevents mould and bacteria from growing inside the device. Using only Mypurmist Ultrapure Sterile Water — which is germ-free, allergen-free and pollutant-free — further ensures the steam produced is completely safe to inhale.

Both models deliver identical ultrapure steam therapy. The Mypurmist Free (AUD $369.99) is cordless and rechargeable, ideal for vocalists on tour or who perform in locations without power access. The Mypurmist 2 (AUD $269.99) is a plug-in model suitable for home or studio use. Both come with a HEPA filter, latex-free mask, water refills, ScentPad sessions, travel bag and wall charger.

Yes. Steam inhalation is a well-established natural treatment for laryngitis. The warm moist steam moisturises the inflamed vocal cords, reduces swelling, and soothes irritated tissue — helping to speed recovery. Mypurmist provides targeted directed steam at a safe, controlled temperature, making it one of the most effective methods available for laryngitis relief.

Once fully charged (approximately 2 hours), the Mypurmist Free battery provides approximately 30 minutes of use — equivalent to 2 sessions with one 30ml ultrapure sterile water refill. A green light at the top of the lower button indicates a full charge. The battery is designed to last several years. Battery replacement or device repair is available under the 2-year warranty (requires registration within 1 month of purchase).
