Better than a CPAP machine IF you can get it to stick to your nose.
These nasal strips are fantastic for helping me breathe better at night--that is, when you can get them to stick properly to your nose. They work better than the costly CPAP machine (which I've given up on because the CPAP machines I've tried are so uncomfortable). The only problem is that the nasal strips don't always adhere well to my nose, in which case they don't work at all. I've found the small size works better for me--and of course it's important to make sure the skin on your nose doesn't have any oily residue, soap or cream on it before applying the nasal strip. I wipe my nose with rubbing alcohol first. I've also found it helps to heat the nasal strip a little bit with a hair dryer or radiant heater to make it softer before applying it to your nose--then hold the strip in place gently but firmly with your fingers for about 20 seconds before letting go.
