We are always looking for better, cheaper, options for nose strips and we stumbled upon this brand. I’m not sure why a lot of comments are complaining of the adhesion being bad. Maybe if you have an extremely oily t-zone, these could be a problem for you but we have not had a problem so far. These are the best ones we’ve ever tried in terms of adhesion. Old ones would fall off before the night was up but these STAY. ON. Even in the shower and letting water run over it? Yes. Stayed on. A small negative is that they kind of hurt to take off if you don’t do it slowly, but I much prefer they stay on than waking up to find one of these stuck to the inside of a blanket or the carpet. Great price, great adhesion and they work exactly how they should. I would give 10 stars if I could. Life savers. Read more
I have used nose strips for many years to help me sleep. I've used several brands. These are large enough to work, The glue could be a bit stronger, but they don't hurt to take off in the morning. If I clean and dry my nose well before I put them on, they stay on all night. These are much cheaper than the brand names and even the store brands and they still work. Read more
Terrible They don’t even stay attached through the night. I bought a pack of 100 and still have 95 left. Wish I could get my $20 back Read more
Breathe Right strips have a hard plastic spanner and their adhesive is very friendly to remove but always left a film on my nose. These strips are a softer material that I was skeptical would work but they definitely do. Be careful though, as the adhesive is pretty aggressive. I peel the backer off now and touch the adhesive a few times to get a little oil from my finger tips to lessen the strength. They come off smooth and clean in the morning but be gentle when removing. Only thing about them is the quality control. The back side has a cut that’s supposed to be in the center so you peel the halves off to expose the adhesive. I’ve run into several that are off center quite a bit and a couple that were cut through the strip completely at an angle. The Breathe Rights were always spot on but they cost a little more. Even with the oops strips, I think you still save a little money. Read more
TLDR: they’re good, not great. They work, but they’re not the best product, and I think they rope you in by offering a bulk deal. UPDATE: bought breathe rights strips because I forgot these on a trip, and the breathe rights have a higher adhesive residue left over after using them. That bugs me a little more than these, so I bought these again. I am diagnosed with sleep apnea, and pretty sure I have a deviated septum, and deal with congestion that is frequent and alternates from nostril to nostril throughout the day. I use a sleep apnea machine, and when I’m most congested, pair it with a nasal strip. 6 month review: What I like: they are less expensive. They do work, and assist with breathing through the nose with less restriction. They are better than nothing. The adhesion works well for me, I tend to have oilier skin and if I don’t place it right I can take it off and adjust placement, and I don’t remember a time where it’s fallen off. I’m younger (under 30), so my skin isn’t as sensitive when I take it off in the morning. What I don’t like: they don’t open up sinuses better than breathe right, or Walgreens brand. In my opinion, I haven’t noticed a difference between breathe right and Walgreens in performance. Last night I found a left over Walgreens brand one, and used it. The adhesion and stiffness of the flex of the Walgreens is superior. Stiffer means that it pulls your skin up higher, and the adhesions stays with it too. I was breathing with less restriction out of my nose for that one too. Will I buy again? I’m not sure, I still have 20-30 left, and I don’t use them every night. Honestly a 100 pack is a big commitment. If you don’t use them every day. I’m just a penny pincher. Because I don’t use them every night, I might consider buying Walgreens again, because it is cheaper than breathe right and it’s easy to use coupons. But then again, I might want to use them more because of how much better they work. I’m definitely overthinking this, but hey, if you’re reading this, you are too. Buy them if you share them with a spouse or someone, if you don’t share buy a smaller pack and use them back to back with your preferred brand. Read more
For years I slept with my mouth open to get enough air. A side effect was waking up during the night with a dry mouth. I would usually drink a half a bottle of water each night and have interrupted sleep. I remembered seeing football players using these strips to get more air. So i bought some and they worked! They opened up my nose enough to breath easy and my mouth can stay closed. I have not had a middle of the night need for water since using these strips. I use a tissue to clean any oil from my nose and then the strips will stay put all night. Read more
These do work well. The adhesive is not as strong at the edges but I believe that is mostly due to how long they are. The plastic strip is not as strong as the other extra strength but over all they work well and are comfortable to wear compared to others. I haven't had any issues with them. The price is good and I would certainly recommend them. They are longer than the ones sold in stores so it might not work for everyone but they do work. Read more
I don’t know what all they changed but the ruined a great product! They are hard to open now (each individual strip), they don’t stick as well & I’ve even had a few separate the top strip from the sticky bottom piece. I had ordered them 5 previous times but won’t be ordering them again, sadly! The price was so good! Read more
