Why a strip instead of a spray?
Decongestant sprays and pills can work, but many aren't meant for every night and some come with side effects. A strip opens your nose mechanically, so there's nothing to wear off and nothing to build a tolerance to.

How do they work?
Each strip has flexible bands built into it. When you press it across the bridge of your nose, the bands gently lift the sides of your nostrils outward and open up your nasal passages, so air flows in more easily. No medicine, and nothing goes inside your nose.
How do I put one on?
Wash and dry your nose so it's free of oils and lotion. Peel off the backing without bending the strip, place it on the bridge of your nose just above the flare of your nostrils, and press the ends down for a few seconds. In the morning, peel it off slowly. A little warm water helps it come off even more gently.
Will they help with my snoring?
If your snoring comes from a stuffy or narrow nose, opening your airway helps you breathe through your nose instead of your mouth, which can mean quieter nights for you and whoever sleeps next to you. They won't fix every kind of snoring. If you snore loudly and also gasp, choke, or wake up exhausted, talk to a doctor, since that can be a sign of sleep apnea.
Who are they for?
Anyone who wakes up with a dry mouth from breathing through it all night, gets blocked up from colds or allergies, or has a partner nudging them awake for snoring. Plenty of people also wear them during workouts for easier breathing.
