Product Reviews of Breathe Right-Large Tan Nasal Strips, 100ct
Product Review: Good Purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
Good product, acceptable prices (but a little high) and quick delivery.
In Chile we have not this product, for this reason I needed to purchase it via internet in USA.
Product Review: Good for a Good Night's Sleep
Summary: 5 Stars
Being one of those individuals that happen to be afflicted with chronic nasal congestion, I usually have to prepare myself for sleep by taking the necessary precautions to ensure that I can breathe all night. I use the 12 hour nasal mist with great caution, knowing that it can create an addictive need if used too much. Other alternatives such as antihistamines with nasal decongestant properties that promote drowsiness seem to be harder to come by now without a prescription. That leaves the Breath Right strip as a long-term aid that permits me to breathe all night with no hang-over the next day.
I have used them now for several years and found that they provide the relief I need with no negative side effects. I've also found that the tan strips work better (translate that keep my nose open all night without falling off) than the clear ones. I've noticed with the clear ones that one side often comes loose during the night thereby minimizing the effectiveness of the strip.
I've also found that careful cleaning of the nose with either soap or alcohol helps the strip adhere all night.
One downside of the strip is its cost; they are not cheap. I've started buying them in larger quantity on Amazon as I've found some of the best prices there with Amazon and their dealers.
I've set up a regimen in which I use the Breath Right strip a couple of nights then use the nasal spray (only one squirt in each nostril) for one night. That has worked for me for the long term and seems to avoid the dependency the spray can cause if used too much.
A little experimenting will show you what works best for you.
Product Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using Breathe Right strips off and on for about a year and I love them. They really do help to open up your nostrils and allow you to breathe more freely. I had my nose broken as a child and have trouble breathing at night on occasion, but Breathe Right fixes the problem.Product Review: Great product, but some trial/error is in order
Summary: 5 Stars
Breathe Right strips physically open up your nasal passages, making it easier to breathe, which, in some people prevents snoring or reduces sleep apnea. You'll notice that athletes sometimes wear them to improve their breathing during workouts or games; I wear them because my wife said she heard me stop breathing multiple times during the night. After using Breathe Right strips, she says my snoring is somewhat reduced and the shortness of breath has disappeared. I can't personally vouch for any of this because I'm asleep :) but it's quite clear to me that I breathe easier with them on and that I'm more rested every morning. So 5 stars.
They can be pricey - if you buy them at a drugstore you'll be paying about $.50 each, or close to $200 per year. Perhaps you can find these in bulk cheaper at a warehouse store, but the only place I've found them is through this seller on Amazon (I've bought from them twice with excellent results), where you can lower the price to ~$.33 each after shipping.
However, if you've never used the product before, try buying a small box locally first because there are two sizes (Small/Medium and Large) and two very different styles (clear and tan). You don't need a huge nose to need Large, so it may take a fitting or two to figure out which size is right for you. Similarly, the clear and tan variants are not just cosmetic: the clear version is much less sticky. Some prefer this because it comes off easier in the morning. Others need the tan, which has much stronger adhesive, just for it to work in the first place. In either case, you'll need to wash and dry your nose before application so that your natural facial oils don't get in the way of the adhesive.
Once you've figured out what you need, you can buy in bulk here on amazon.

Product Review: Helped My Dad But Not Me
Summary: 3 Stars
My Mom and Dad recommended these nasal strips, along with using the Breathe Right throat strips. Apparently, this combination has been the only thing that has made my dad's snoring more tolerable for my Mom. My Mom was clear that I should try the "Extra," and not the weaker versions of the nasal strips.
However, after having used them for several weeks, I can't say I've noticed any difference in myself. They did open my nasal passages more, it's true, but they didn't help me with my snoring or not getting a good night's sleep.
I guess each user is different. They may be worth your trying them: they worked (with the nasal strips) for my Dad, but not for me. They're inexpensive enough that they're worth a shot for anyone who has a problem with snoring or sleep apnea.
