| Birdfeather's Full Review: Breathe Right Nasal Strips |
Being a regular sufferer of allergies which seem to be just about all year long here in Louisiana, I decided to give Breathe Right Nasal Strips a try. My mom had been using them for awhile and she said they worked pretty good. I was especially lured by this product since it is drug-free and works naturally to open up nasal passages. Read on to find out HOW this product works and performs.
Breathe Right Nasal Strips, Product Information
Breathe Right Nasal Strips come packaged in a colorful box of either 10 or 30 strips. Price varies from $4.99 to 14.99 for respective size boxes. The product also comes in different sizes. You can purchase Small/Medium or Large.
Breathe Right Nasal Strips were designed to simply improve nasal breathing. It can be used in conjunction with a cold, allergies and hay fever. Some have reported that this product helps reduce snoring at night.
Breathe Right Nasal Strips are drug-free. They work by opening your nasal passages. The strips are called dilators and they are to be placed between the bridge of your nose and the crease where your nostril flares. The dilator has two strips that work to pull nasal passages open. It works as a resistor, yet the adhesive on the strip keeps the nasal strip in place.
Directions
It's not as simple as just placing the nasal strip on your nose. You have to make sure it is in the proper position and this may take a little practice. One thing I learned fast is that they do not stick over and over again. So you will waste a strip or two during your practice.
Also make sure you have cleansed your face, especially your nose. They do not stick to oily skin.
Remove backing, place strip to where the lower strip is placed directly over the flare in your nostril. Press down firmly to secure the nasal strip. The strip immediately begins to work. Dispose of strips after each use.
My Experience With Breathe Right Nasal Strips
You have to have some patience when first starting to use Breathe Right Nasal Strips because positioning the strip is not as easy as it sounds. Once the nasal strip has been put in place it does not re-stick completely and you find yourself wasting a strip. Once you get the hang of it, and find your correct spot for placing the strip, you will know the exact spot!
I found that Breathe Right Nasal Strips work pretty good in opening up your nasal passages. You can tell the difference in about 5 minutes after placing the strip on your nose. I use these at night when allergies have my nasal passages constricted and they seem to close even more when you go to sleep at night laying down. I did have a hard time getting used to having a plastic strip on my nose. It seemed like I was aware of it every minute of the night the first time I used it. With repeated use, this got better and I just noticed it when I would get up during the night to go to the bathroom or get something to drink.
My only complaint is that you cannot expect to put moisturizer on your nose and then put on a Breathe Right Nasal Strips. The strips will not stick to your nose. You must also make sure you cleanse face and nose well, especially if you have oily skin. Removal can also be a little discomforting. Just be careful and remember I warned you!
I like the fact that Breathe Right Nasal Strips are drug-free. I'm much rather go to bed looking a little odd than take medication that would have me wired. This is a nice concept and a good alternative!
