Works really well, instantly breath so much better. Not sure about people saying the adhesion is weak. It’s sticks to my nose very strong almost hurts to take off. Highly recommend these plus you get way more and save money. Read more

I was very skeptical about these seeing as how cheap they are compared to Breathe Right. These are Chinese clones of Breathe Right strips right down to the packaging, instructions and the way the strips look. Even the name is strikingly similar: Breathe Better. It's like they aren't even trying to pretend they are their own brand. If you hold a Breathe Better next to a Breathe Right strip, it is pretty challenging to tell the difference. As with all Chinese knockoffs, the instructions have some grammatical errors, so that may help you tell the difference ;) But I really experimented a lot with these and here are my conclusions when compared to the brand name Breathe Right strips: 1. The spring action on these is slightly less than the BR strips - my estimate is about 15-20% less. So while they do work, they open my nasal passages ever-so-slightly less than the BR strips. 2. The adhesive is strong just like with BR except that it leaves a very subtle and tolerable sticky residue on your nose. Unlike the BR strips, this adhesive does leave a sticky feeling on your nose, but I've tried other generic strips and this is really very minimal. Also some have complained that the strips come off their noses. I found that if I just wiped my nose firmly with my T-shirt before putting on the strips, the adhesion was excellent. My guess is that others that had problems simply didn't wipe the sweat off their nose. It's as simple as that. 3. These are made in China - and yes, I verified that with the seller. Should you be concerned? I don't know. I tend to be concerned with just about anything coming out of China, Mexico, etc. These are places that put 100% of their effort in what looks and feels good to the consumer and 0% effort in safety. So who really knows what is in that adhesive that contacts your skin about 8 hours every night? Probably nothing, but there is a trust issue there and I can't get over my suspicions. Overall, if you are hesitant about buying these as a BR replacement, I can assure you these are quite reasonable replacements and you are unlikely to be disappointed...especially considering they cost about half the BR strip cost. But if you are a bit concerned by Chinese products glued to your skin for 1/3 of your life (like me), and you want that extra oomph of nasal passage opening power without the slight sticky residue, then you might consider waiting for a good sale on BR strips and then stock up.

Have you ever noticed how people will always find the time to whine about something, no matter how busy they are, but seem to never have the equal amount of time to say something positive? I have no idea what the other people who complain that the adhesive on these strips is not equal to, or better than, the Breathe Right. Yes, I did order a set of these, reluctantly, especially after reading several negative reviews about the adhesive being less than stellar. I have rather oily skin, so I was more than a little concerned that I just threw away my money. But, with a money back guarantee, I figured, "What the hay?!" These things work great! And the adhesive issue? Unless you are a slumbering, sebaceous gland, exuding body oils in 55 gallon drums, hour upon hour, I can't imagine how this strip will not work for you. As I mentioned, I have pretty oily skin. I've forgotten to put a strip on, awakened 5-6 hours into the night and simply applied one, with no preparation or application of alcohol to the skin, and the strip worked just as well as the Breathe Right brand. My advice? Save your money on Breathe Right and buy these! Read more

Not as sticky as other brands but if you wash your nose before using they work just fine. Read more

The first two strips from which I peeled the wrapper stuck to the wrapper and came off in small patches because the adhesive had bled onto it. When I applied the first strip to my nose, it stuck well on the bridge of the nose, but not the sides. The results were only slightly better with the second strip because I pressed my middle fingers against the sides of my nose for at least 30 seconds to improve the bond--yes, I had washed my face and waited for it to dry. After removing the second strip from my nose, I folded it in half and found that the strip would not even firmly adhere to itself. It is back to Breathe Right for me. Read more

The claim is these are made in China and may not be a good... Well, maybe the American manufacturers of this product should go visit them in China and find out why their products are so superior to the American brands and cost so much less too! I was skeptical at first, but after using these, they are vastly superior to the American brands and they cost far less per strip... Mine typically last 2 - 3 days! The American brands one night max and they usually don't stay on longer.. Those who say the Chinese strips don't last long enough, should first clean the top of their nose with alcohol, this will remove the skin oils and allow the strip to attach very well. Read more
