I have always struggled with having a stuffy nose at night, and it got so bad at one point that I decided I needed some sort of a solution. For about a year I used nose dialators to help me breathe at night when I sleep, but those would often fall out at night, and irritate my nose... so I tried looking up a better solution. I found these nose strips after searching for a while. I decided to give them a chance, and I'm so glad that I did!! I'm never going back to nose dialators, these are exactly what I needed. These nose strips open up my nose really well (I have a larger nose/bridge so I get the large size), and I can notice a big difference when I wear them vs am not wearing them. I can breathe great when I'm sleeping, and I haven't had a problem with them yet. The ONLY thing I can say is that I'll occasionally get a small breakout under the nose strip, but I just put a small piece of tissue paper under the strip where the breakout is so the nose strip doesn't irritate it more when I wear it/take it off. So far that has worked pretty well for me. Also, I just try to be really careful taking them off in the morning so I don't hurt the skin on my nose. If you rip it off I imagine it would hurt a lot and do a little bit of damage 😬 so just be careful and also make sure to take good care of your skin in that area. Overall I'm very satisfied with these. They stay on all night (I wash my face before bed) and they help me breathe a lot better.

Much more comfortable and effective then more popular brands you find in the store.

These are a GODSEND. Ive tried other brands, and these blow them all away. I have a slightly deviated septum which partially blocks the left side, and this little springy piece of magic opens me right up. When I say they stick, they really do stick, so getting them off takes a little finessing. I usually dab the ends with a bit of oil or water in the morning to assist in lifting it off to minimize pulling at my skin. They work beautifully and are comfortable to wear. You can't feel it once it's on, but you can damn sure breathe through your nose. Highly recommend.

These are stronger and stick better than name brand and much cheaper. One star deducted, they leave a little adhesive on your nose. Use with care, they can take the hide off you due to superior adhesion.

I get the idea behind nasal strips and if you focus on it when you put them on you can grasp it. It uses friction and reverse forces to lift the inner cartilage of the nose. Imagine each nostril as a tunnel and up by the bridge of your nose the tunnels merge into one. The nasal strips grab the skin which is attached to the muscle and fiber below and lifts upward. This opens the tunnel, though just slightly, and allows you more airflow. When I say they work sometimes I mean "sometimes". For reasons unknown even with them correctly positioned, most nights I still wake up with horrid dry mouth from snoring. Snoring being caused by my nose being plugged. It’s so annoying that I just stopped using the nasal strips because they’re just totally undependable.

I have a deviated septum and nose strips help some. I've been using the #1 national brand for over 20 years. I tried a couple store brands, but they didn't perform well. The #1 brand recently made some changes to their product and the new model didn't work as well for me. I decided to try an alternative available on Amazon...Clear Passage. They're darn near perfect. Hold firm, but are comfortable. Easy and painless to remove and leave virtually no adhesive residue. They're also less expensive than the #1 brand. Great product.

Helps my husband sleep at night . Good buy will be buying more

In terms of flex, I didn't even need to apply one of these to know that they're too weak; having used a couple of types of Breathe Right strips, all I had to do was flex one of these while in its package. I thought the Breathe Right Extra strips were too weak, and these are even weaker. Even though the Breathe Right Extra strips are a bit more rigid than these, I'm not going to go back to those as they are still inadequate. I wish I had a better recommendation; the best ones I have tried for opening nasal passages really well are the Breathe Right clear strips for sensitive skin. The big problem with those is that by the time morning comes, the adhesive has dissolved into mushy goop and the strip is falling off. Still, they are preferable to the Breathe Right Extra strips - removing the adhesive on those is murder on my skin. They don't even come off cleanly with straight 90% rubbing alcohol; it takes makeup remover or baby oil first (baby oil being superior). If they had the sinus passage opening strength of the Breathe Right clear strips I would definitely still use them and just tolerate the adhesive. Bottom line: when it comes to nasal strips, it isn't the adhesive that matters most - it's the strength of the semi-rigid material that lifts passages open. These definitely won't do it for me, and I will need to send them back. I might consider going back to the Breathe Right clear strips and using an adhesive bandage over the top. I wish someone could get these things right!
