Breathe Right

Each strip holds flexible, spring-like bands. Stuck across the nose just above the nostril flare, the bands try to straighten and gently lift the sides of the nose, opening the nasal passages from the outside. There is no medicine involved, so they can be used alongside any medicines.

Small/Medium fits around three in four adults and is the size suggested for children from 5 and petite faces. Large is for larger noses. If a strip overhangs your cheeks or lifts at the ends, try the other size. Extra Strength is one size that fits most noses.

Clear strips are transparent, non-porous and easier to peel off, so they are the pick for dry or sensitive skin. Tan strips use a fabric with a tackier adhesive that grips better on normal to oily skin and stays put overnight.

Extra Strength Clear strips have bands 50% stronger than the Original Clear, for more lift. They come in one size that fits most noses, in the 44 pack.

They can reduce snoring that is caused by nasal congestion, by opening the nose so you breathe through it more easily. They are not intended to treat sleep apnoea. If you stop breathing, gasp or choke in your sleep, or are very tired during the day, see your doctor.

Up to 12 hours a day. Each strip is single use, so use a fresh one each night or session.

Wet it with warm water in the shower or while washing your face, loosen the ends, and lift it off slowly from both sides. Pulling it off dry can irritate the skin.

Yes, from 5 years, usually in the Small/Medium size. Do not use them on children under 5.
