Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Breathe Right nasal strips are drug-free, nonprescription devices that work mechanically--from the outside--to gently open nasal passages and make breathing easier. Each nasal strip consists of two flat, parallel bands of plastic embedded in a special adhesive pad. When properly placed across the nose, the bands attempt to straighten, gently lifting the sides of the nose and widening the nasal valve, instantly making it easier to breathe. Breathe Right strips can ease snoring, nasal congestion due to a cold or allergies, breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum, and troubled sleep caused by minor breathing problems. In addition, the strips can help make exercise more efficient by reducing the energy needed to breathe, letting you redirect your efforts to other aspects of your workout. This package includes small- to medium-size nasal strips.

Product Description

Breathe Right 38 ct. nasal strips. This package contains clear strips for sensitive skin strips in the small/medium size. This size will fit the majority of adults.

I love Breathe Right Nasal Strips. I have hayfever and I snore, so I was definitely a candidate to use them. I didn't think they would make much of a difference, but it's like night and day. To get an idea of what they could do for you, gently grab your nostrils and pull them down and apart. Ahhhh.

The instructions say you will need to use them for a few nights to retrain yourself to breathe through your nose while sleeping. I used to often, if not usually, wake up with a dried-out mouth (from breathing with my mouth open), but with a nose strip on, this never happens. I also wake up feeling much more refreshed. Every now and then I get lazy and don't put one on at bedtime, but I always regret it. Once you get used to sleeping with these, you feel miserable trying to sleep without one.

In fact, in the morning when you peel it off, you'll wish you could leave it on. I sometimes *have* left them on. I've even forgotten and gone out in public with them on (which, surprisingly, hardly seems to draw a second glance).

If your complexion isn't too oily, you may be able to get double duty out of a strip by using it twice. Save the little pull tabs to replace in the morning, and weight the strip to flatten it. I always use my strips twice and only rarely have any trouble with them sticking the second night. Be sure to wash your nose immediately before applying the strip (and use an astringent if your complexion is very oily).

If you are wondering if the small/medium is big enough for you, it almost certainly is. I recommend these to all my friends, and even those with the biggest of noses use this size (including men). You might need the large size only if you have a very broad nose.

As others have noted, the strips feel a little weird at first, but you'll quickly get used to it. As I said, I sometimes forget I even have one on. Give yourself time to adjust, and you'll love these.

I can't recommend this product enough. The price here is very good, too--comparable to the price at a warehouse store. If you have allergies, problems with snoring, or a deviated septum, you need these.

4.0 out of 5 stars Confessions of a nosedrop addict..., January 28, 2008

I've been a nose drop addict for most of my life. No allergies or hay fever...just congestion when I lie down. 15 years ago, I had a rhinoplasty that seemed to have corrected the problem, but the effect only lasted a couple years. Since then, I haven't gone to sleep with out a hit of Afrin at bedtime. Recently, I've had to increase use of this 12 hour product (that you're not supposed to take for more than 3 days) to several times a day for congestion as well as during the night. This is considered a 'rebound' effect. Like any addictive drug,the more you use,the more you have to use to get the desired relief. A few weeks ago I began to notice blood when I blew my nose and got very concerned.

My husband has used Breath Right strips since they first came out for snoring (they proved about 75% effective...he still snores if he sleeps on his back)and suggested I try them for the congestion. The reason I was reluctant is because the bridge of my nose has been rebuilt from cartiledge and the skin is very thin, so I was worried about the agressive nature of the adhesive pressing the strip into my nose. But I was desperate to kick the nose drop habit, so I finally gave the BRs a try. So far, so good! Its been almost a week and I haven't had to use any nose spray at all in my left nostril, and am down to one little drop in my right nostril before bedtime...as opposed to using the spray 4 times a day! I put the strip slightly lower than is recommended, over the fleshier part of my nose, and they still seem to work fine. No more blood...and no runny nose like I used to have from using so much nose spray! Hopefully, I'll eventually not even need that one drop I'm down to.

I take them off in the shower, to minimize the pulling on the skin. When I run out of the tan, I might try the clear ones that have a less agressive adhesive. I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because of the price and because they were less than 100% effective in stopping my husband's snoring (but still a major improvement). If I can permantly break the nose spray habit and reverse any damage done to my breathing passages, the cost will be well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't breathe at night without these!, December 21, 2008

I suffer from year round allergies and nothing helps. Absolutely no antihistamine or nasal spray helps for long. I can NEVER breathe out of my nose. I loathe getting a cold, as breathing is near impossible. These strips used in combination with a netti pot and I can actually breathe at night. I also wear them when I exercise, again to help me breathe better.

I also prefer Breathe Right to generic product, as they stick much better and stay in place better.

If you can breathe just fine through your nose without these, then no, these aren't going to be of much help to you. But if you're like me and you have trouble breathing b/c of chronic allergies then I'd highly recconmend these! Also highly reccomend using a netti pot in combination with it! The netti pot (saline solution) helps reduce the swelling in my nostrils along with just general cleaning them out.
