Breathe Right Extra Clear

I love this product! After weaning myself off decongestant nasal sprays, I would still wake up at night with nasal congestion. I tried a wide range of products over a course of several months, and found that it would sometimes take an hour or more to breathe clearly again and get back to sleep. Then I read that nasal congestion often occurs when the blood vessels inside the nose become inflamed and the nasal tissues swell, so it occurred to me to try nasal strips to help open the nasal passages. I discovered the combination of Breathe Right nasal strips with a homeopathic product called Sinusalia worked the best of anything I have tried! I had already been using the Sinusalia with mixed success. Adding the Breathe Right strips was the ultimate solution for me. (They might help without the Sinusalia, but since this combo works for me I am sticking with it!) I realized that my problem was not caused by excess mucus. And that in fact usage of different kinds of nasal sprays (homeopathic, saline, etc.) was actually creating excess mucus and making matters worse! Also blowing my nose was making matters worse. Not only was it taking longer to clear, but it was occurring more frequently. So the harder I tried to clear my congestion, the worse it got. Now I simply dissolve 2 Sinusalia tablets under my tongue, apply a nasal strip, and by the time I lay down again I am usually breathing clearly. If it does not clear immediately, it almost always clears within 10 minutes. And I also realized that it is important to relax and allow the breath to flow, instead of being tense and trying to force my nasal passages to unclog. I also use a humidifier in winter months. I'm not sure if that helps, but I think it does.I had tried Breathe Right strips in the past for colds, and found that they only moderately helped sometimes. I think that's because they are not meant for clearing congestion caused by excess mucus. I think they are meant to help ease congestion due to swollen tissue. I don't know if that's the case. It just seems that way to me. Also, as I said, I think using them in combination with Sinusalia makes a big difference for me.The instructions on how to apply the strips are kind of buried inside a fold-out piece of paper in the box. On a drawing they show that the correct usage is to apply the strip so that the bottom edge on each end is overlapping the nostril. However, I have found that the most effective usage for me is to apply it immediately above the nostril, across the bridge of the nose. This seems to give me the best results. (This is about 1/8 inch higher than the drawing.) Also, it is very important not to touch the sticky part with your fingers, and to clean and dry the nose thoroughly before applying. Even with that, the natural oils from the pores will come out over time, especially on the side of each nostril. So after a few hours, the strip may pop off on one side or the other, if applied too low. And even if it doesn't pop off, I find that I might have to reapply a new one at some point during the night if my nose feels congested again. I think it loosens its grip somewhat and becomes less effective over time. Still, it's a really simple and easy low cost solution that works fast and is highly effective!They claim that it reduces snoring. As I live alone, I cannot attest to whether it has for me. But since my nasal passages are clear, it makes sense to me that it would reduce my snoring.So with the use of this product (and Sinusalia), not only am I able to go back to sleep easily, but also the occurrences of nasal congestion are less frequent and less severe. What a huge relief! I am so happy I rediscovered this product!

Work great and definitely helped open nasal airways. I use them during my allergy season and they really made a difference.

I started using the extra strong clear ones and man did it make a HUGE improvement on my sleep quality and just overall breathing. I have an oily nose. So i dry my nose right before using these to make sure they stick. Typically i can wake up and theyre just barely holding on.. but still doing the job. They come off with ease due to my greasy nose🙄. I wanted to try the extra strength tan as they seemed to stick better(tried a regular strip at a friends house). When is ay they would stick. Man would they STICK. To the point where it would kind of hurt taking them off. I did do the water to loosen them but they still stick even when soaking my nose for a minute or two. The adhesive stays on after taking it off but wipes off with a towel.If you want ones that stick like a face sucker from the HalfLife games go for the tan. Just give yourself an extra couple minutes in the morning to get them off.Otherwise go for the clears as they're easy to take off.Would give 5/5 but the tans are a bit much. Switching back to clears as we speak

First night, NO SNORING. UNBELIEVABLE. These really work! My husband snores badly, every single night, w/o fail. First night wearing these, no snoring! I was up for hours after he had fallen to sleep and I didn't hear a sound. Remarkable! 🤌🤌🤌 will buy again!

This product works, and I really stopped snoring when I wore it to sleep.But it was hard to stick on, maybe because of my oily skin, even though I washed my face and wiped my nose with alcohol carefully before putting it on.

Does the job! Great quality.

I absolutely love the Extra Breathe Right Strips for sensitive skin. I suffer from a deviated septum and chronic congested, which causes me to breathe from my mouth and as a result I have dry mouth in the mornings. I was looking for an effective drug free solution to allow me to breathe through my nose at night that is also gentle on my skin. This fits all the criteria I was looking for at an affordable price. I have never been able to breathe through my nose as well as I have with the Breathe Right Strips in Extra. Not only does it work, but it comes off easily in the morning without pain or damaging my skin. There is a little adhesive residue that stays on my nose when I remove them in the morning, but that comes right off in the shower with no problem. I haven't worn them all day so I can only attest to wearing them for 8 hours or so when I sleep. Just make sure to wash the skin on your nose before you apply them for the best hold. These are a little larger than the traditional strips, but that personally doesn't bother me. Also, they are very easy to apply and have good instructions with pictures on each strip.I have tried the regular breathe right strips with the normal adhesive and I prefer these for the following reasons:1. The Clear ones have an adhesive that is suited for sensitive skin over the regular ones. The regular ones cause discomfort when you remove them.2. The Extra provide more airflow by lifting the nostrils a little more than the traditional strips. I found the traditional strips to provide an 80% improvement in airflow, while the Extra provide 100% unobstructed airflow.3. I like the fact that these are clear and less noticeable when I wear them. I don't leave the house with them, but I prefer it. I feel less like I am wearing a bandage on my nose.Overall, I highly recommend these to anyone seeking a drug free alternative to nasal congestion.

This Nasal strips sticks too hard on nose and causes pain if used for long hours. I had to take it off as I started getting headache after an hour
