Intake Breathing Nasal Strip Starter Kit (15 Count, Black) - Boost Oxygen Intake, Reduce Snoring, Improve Sleep Quality - Sweat Resistant, Skin Safe Nasal Strips - Extra Strength Snoring Solution

Been using Noctal nasal strips for a long time. Decided to try these magnetic ones for the first time. They do not work. Stickers don't stick.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I'm an overweight woman in my late thirties and--well, I snore. I go to bed first at night, so I was keeping my husband awake. I didn't know for months--and I love him for trying to be so polite about it at first--but I was determined to find a solution that would work out a little quicker than a few months of getting back into the gym. BreatheRight strips! They were... challenging. Where I lack dedication for fitness, I'm an avid follower of a nightly skincare routine--and that means a lot of moisture on my face. Including my nose. Know what you can't do when you're using BreatheRight strips? Have any moisture on your nose. Those strips will slide right off, even the Extra Strength ones. And they left some pretty gross residue. I really hated them, even though they had some lavender ones that smelled nice. I was really skeptical about Intake, like most things I see first on Facebook ads. Amazon is a great safety net for returns though, so for $40 I bought it. Watched the little video in the QR code that explains how you pick the right size band for your nose, and how to attach the nasal strips to your face. I was a little bummed when the directions explained that you should make sure your nose is pretty dry--so I dutifully followed my BreatheRight routine of making my nose a desert of moisture before applying the strips and the band. And they worked! My husband said he didn't hear my snoring for the next few nights. But I was still back where I started. Sure, Intake got the job done like BreatheRight strips on a parched nose, but they're also more expensive despite less gross residue. BreatheRight strips are about $0.37 vs Intake's $1.05 per night. There wasn't really a point to spending almost 3x more over the residue since I shower right after taking them off anyway... unless I could wear them over my skincare. So I tried--after cleansing, toning, a serum, and a generous night cream, I put it all on. And the Intake strips and band stayed perfectly in place over my stupid oily nose. Instant joy. I had to ask my husband a few times over the next few nights if I snored--maybe Intake was less effective with the skincare under it? But no, no noise. And everything was firmly in place in the morning. Awesome. Intake is going to cost me $1.05 a night--or $31.50 per month. That might be a hefty price tag, but it's one I can afford. Amazon Prime Days are coming up, so fingers crossed for a sale. It's worth it for my husband's comfort--and mine.

Efficace,j'ai essayé plusieurs produits et bandes nasales mais celui ci est le meilleur et le + eficace que j'ai essayé, je respire enfin par le nez librement

I can instantly breathe better with these and they’ve pretty much eliminated my snoring. My wife thanks you!

I was a BreatheRight user for several years. These magnetic strips work much better than BreatheRight. The BreatheRight strips were too small (I had to use 2 at a time, with extra tape) and the adhesive failed after about 6-8 hours. The adhesive on the MAGNETIC strip system is MUCH better than BreatheRight. The adhesive for the magnetic system LASTED 12 HOURS, and I was even able to RE-USE the strips by sticking them onto a plastic DVD case after the first 12 hour use. After you remove them from your nose, the adhesive sticks to the tape, and not your nose (the BreatheRight strips, left my nose "sticky" so the adhesive was coming off the tape). **VERY IMPORTANT FOR STICKING** --> You must THOROUGHLY clean the oil off of your nose so the strips will stick. Wipe the nose firmly with a NON-LOTION (DRY !) kleenex or even just toilet paper. The paper must be DRY. YOU MUST DRY OFF THE OIL THOROUGHLY, CHANGING THE PAPER A FEW TIMES. (ALSO: Using the magnetic system, I had no skin irritation after removing the tape. The BreatheRight tapes irritated the skin significantly after removal. ) I actually use TWO of the black magnetic holders at the same time by putting one low on the hose, and one higher up. For me, it completely opens up the nose with no snoring or "snorting." For the higher one, I RE-USE the adhesive "dots" from the night before. So, the RE-USED adhesive strips actually lasted at least 24 hours total. BUT YOU MUST VERY THOROUGHLY DRY UP THE OIL ON YOUR NOSE TO MAKE THE ADHESIVE WORK. Also, for me, snoring is prevented by breathing through BOTH the nose and mouth while sleeping. Adjust your head on the pillow until you get the right angle. TEST it by drawing in air suddenly (from nose and mouth) until you do not get a "snort." It works for me. No snoring through the night (8-12 hours). Without the strips, I start snoring loudly after (literally) 2 minutes. NOTE: This is a personal testamonial as to how I use the magnetic system, and not medical advice. Always consult your doctor if you snore at night and are concerned about sleep apnea.
