Much Better Sleep, October 27, 2009
This review is from: Breathe Right Nasal Strips, Large, Clear, 30-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
My wife often complained about by snoring. There appeared little I could do other than sleeping in the guest room. Then, after I communicated her complaints to my primary physician, I underwent a sleep test. Suddenly the problem became clear. According to the doctor, I was getting very little sleep and my health was deteriorating.
In the test they found that I awakened about three hundred times during the night. They explained that when I became relaxed my Uvula relaxed and closed off my trachea. When I would stop breathing my system would awaken me enough that I could take a breath, but not fully awaken. Since it was happening over three hundred times each night, I was getting little REM sleep.
So I found Breathe Right strips. I do not understand the technology, but somehow I no longer snore and I get better sleep. I strongly recommend these to anyone who snores, and even people who are tired all the time - maybe you do not know you have a problem, I didn't. Personally, I intend to use these little marvels every night.
BTW: Many months later, my physicians ordered a CPAP machine for me to use while sleeping. With the combination of CPAP and Breathe Right, my sleep has improved greatly and my health has improved.

Snoring and Breathe Right Quality, January 4, 2011
For those of you thinking that you will stop snoring with Breathe Right think again. Snoring is a symptom of some other problem. In 2000 my doctor asked me if I snored badly. I replied that my wife now sleeps in another room because of my snoring. He suggested that I had Sleep Apnea and scheduled me for a sleep study. It turned out that I did have Sleep Apnea. I obtained a CPAP machine and started using it and my wife returned to our bedroom immediately. My snoring stopped immediately. I also have bad hay fever and the CPAP had an added benefit. Their is an air filter on the blower inlet to the machine that cleans the air to the Mask. I no longer wake up with a stuffy nose. Partly because the CPAP mask forces pressurized air through my nose and partly I believe because of the filter. Shortly after I started using the CPAP I discovered Breathe Right Nasal Strips. I started using them and they helped with night time breathing because I have narrow nasal passages. I have been using the CPAP and Breathe Right Nasal Strips for 10 years.
Now the bad news. In November 2010, I purchased several more boxes of Breathe Right and have been experiencing a problem in the morning. The adhesive that sticks to your nose is pulling away from the plastic band that pulls your nose out from normal position. So I wake up in the morning with only partially open nose passages. It appears that GlaxoSmithKline has a quality problem with the strips. Maybe they are having them made by another factory (OFFSHORE) and that is the problem with the quality.

Good, but adhesive is not as strong as the peach-colored version, August 6, 2010
This review is from: Breathe Right Nasal Strips, Large, Clear, 30-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I'm a fan of Breathe Right strips ... they aid in clear breathing when I sleep, particularly if I have a cold. I bought the clear/sensitive version of these on Amazon because the price was great. Going forward, I'll stick with the peach-colored version ... the adhesive is stronger. I found the clear strips would peel off my nose during the night. In some cases, if my nose was even a little damp from pre-bed face-washing, the strip wouldn't adhere. Unless you have very sensitive skin, I would recommend the peach-colored version.
