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.

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.

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.

OK. There are two main groups of "users" for this product - those who wear the product on their noses and hopefully find some benefit, and their sleep mates who no longer have to listen to snoring that ranges from a light whistling to a full blown deforestation each night. I fall into the latter category, although my sinus problems have me tempted to try the (small) strips out for myself some time soon. My husband uses the strips and he notices a slight improvement in his own sleep, some benefits in his breathing and a less dry mouth on waking. I have to say YAY for the inventor. These rock!

The breathe right nasal strips were purchased in an attempt to reduce snoring. They appear to reduce, but not eliminate, snoring. We've tried other non-surgical products to reduce snoring, and the breathe right strips are the best of what we've found so far.

I was skeptical to try these at first, not knowing how they could possibly help my snoring, allergies, and asthma. My allergies get so bad that it hurts to breathe through my nose at all- I thought some little adhesive strip couldn't possibly alleviate that. However, along with my normal OTC allergy medication, these strips are working wonders. I tried one on a weekend just to see how it worked, and I found not only that it wasn't uncomfortable, but it was actually helping! After the first night I wore one to bed, my husband woke up to tell me he hadn't slept that well since before we'd been married- I hadn't snored at all, and he felt like I was more peaceful and getting a better night's sleep.

Not only do these relieve my breathing problems at night, but breathing clearly does indeed help me feel more rested. I absolutely recommend these! Be sure to wash your face immediately before applying a strip, and if removal is difficult, use a little warm water or baby oil to avoid getting a raw mark on your nose.

This is the kind of product you want to have on you when you sleep, to help snoring and runny noses. Its also great for those of you who work out or run because it helps you breath better. Overall, you just feel good!! Its awesome!! Legit!! Too legit to quit!!

It's amazing that something this simple can eliminate snoring, but it does. It's a simple mechanical device that sure beats surgery or drugs for simplicity and non-invasiveness. You might need surgery or drugs (or a CPAP machine, etc.) depending on the severity of your problems but you might as well try this first and see if it solves the problem to your satisfaction.

I have noticed from time to time that there are positions I can sleep in that leave my head and neck at an odd angle that still results in some back-of-throat snoring type sounds (more like hissing) as I breathe, but it's easy enough to reposition to get rid of that. Still, the major snoring noise is gone, and my wife and I both get better sleep and feel more rested. I didn't realize how much my poor breathing during sleep interfered with the rejuvenation function of sleep. In other words, snoring makes your sleep very erratic. You wake up many times during the night and don't remember it, but you wake up in the morning feeling tired. So it's not just a problem for people who sleep near you; it's probably causing problems for the snorer too.

The tan-colored ones are made of some kind of fabric and the adhesive is stronger, which can cause some itching at night and discomfort during removal. I like the clear ones best. Also, the off-brand ones I got at a Long's Drugs store are really bad (too stiff, too sticky, and the adhesive stayed on my face after removal); stick with the name brand.

I have been having mild allergies and sinus congestion, which has affected my ability to breath easily through my nose. Before using these, my sleep was exceptionally poor and unrestful; I would wake up exhausted and unrefreshed because breathing through my nose was requiring a lot of energy while sleeping.

These strips have made a HUGE difference. If you're having any difficulty sleeping at night, I would at least give them a try. I feel twenty times better; six hours of sleep with the strips is better than eight hours without...

OK. Every once and a while a product comes along with a simple premise and does EXACTLY what it claims to do. This is one of those products.
Please don't think I'm exaggerating when I tell you that if you have trouble night-breathing, this product will literally change your life.

Breathe Right strips afix to the bridge of your nose and gently attempt to straighten, opening your nasal pasage. I have seen complaints that this tickles, but if you have that problem, you are likely wearing the wrong size.

If you snore, the intensity of that snoring will be greatly reduced or eliminated altogether.
If you wake up with morning headaches (or achey brain, as I like to call it)because of trouble breathing, you will learn what it feels like to wake up supercharged and alert.
If you wake up with dry mouth, or get sore throats every year because of nightime mouth-breathing, PROBLEM-SOLVED!

I come from a family that has all of these issues because of our small nasal passages. Some family members have even had surgery to correct it, to dissapointing results.

Listen and believe. Breathe Right strips ended this problem for me!

All I can tell you is, if you have this problem, you MUST try this product right-away. Take it from someone who knows what a terrible chain-reaction poor breathing can spark!
