Product Reviews of Breathe Right-Large Tan Nasal Strips, 100ct
Product Review: These do not work for plugged sinuses!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I can see how these would work for someone with small nasal passages or nostrils that are a little "collapsed." However, if you suffer allergies or a cold which causes your nasal membranes to swell, don't bother getting these. They don't work, and if you think about it, they COULDN'T. If your membranes are swollen, you could prop your nostrils wide with tubes the size of silver dollars, and it won't help a whit. I have to give only 2 stars because all advertising related to this product indicates it works for allergies and the like, and that is blatantly false. I gave these a shot because I haven't had free breathing in a good 12 years. I hoped against hope these would help in even the slightest way, but they didn't at all. If you suffer congestion due to allergies or cold, save your money and save yourself the disappointment.Product Review: They Seem Like They Help
Summary: 4 Stars
Have you ever wondered whether these things actually help? My answer is: sort of. They seem to open my nose up and help me breath at night. I have also had doctors recommend these things. However, they are not a cure-all. Also, they do not help everyone.
My wife convinced me to try these things. They did seem to help for a while. My wife said I breathed better with them. They sure are spendy though. I recommend getting the most you can afford at one time to take advantage of any volume discounts.
There are a few things you need to watch for when you use these. First, if your nose tends to be oil you need to wash your nose first, or the adhesive will not stick. Second, you have to put the strip on in the correct location. Too low or too high on your nose and you will not get the correct amount of opening of your nose. Third, after a few days of using the strip the adhesive will remove the oils from your nose, along with much of the dead skin, and it can hurt to remove the strips unless you soak them in water. My recommendation is to remove them when you shower. The last problem is the opposite of the previous problem. Sometimes you can pull the strip off when you sleep. Pulling the strip off is very annoying because once off, they often do not like to go back on. As I mentioned before, they are expensive, so destroying one is annoying.
Breathe-Right strips are an aid to breathing that works for some people. If you think a modest amount of help in breathing would solve your problems, I recommend you try them. However, you may also want to consider whether you need to see a doctor. Your breathing problems may be more serious than a Breathe-Right strip can help. Good Luck!
Product Review: Try the Vic's version, the menthol will help to reduce nasal congestion
Summary: 3 Stars
So, this is not a "miracle product" but it does a decent job of minimizing snoring. The regular Breathe Right strips deserve about a 3 star rating, because the reduction of noise is still apparent, but it is not the perfect product. Bottom line, don't expect miracles, but if you would like an affordable way to achieve snore reduction and are not a fan of the vapor rub smell, this product would be it. I have not noticed any difference between the clear and the tan strips, but normal exfoliation of the removal of these strips is normal, since this is kinda like a band aid for your nose.Product Review: Worked for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a couple of reviews and I was always skeptical of this type of product, but went ahead and tried them recently. Now, I think it probably depends how much your sinus's are plugged to how well they work, as I read other comments on how they didn't work. But as for me, these worked better then expected.
I would say that at the best of times, my sinus's are around 35 - 40 % plugged and has been that way for about 30 years. Now, it doesn't actually clear your sinus's, but it does open up your airway a little more, so when I wear these strips it feels like heaven. I want to wear them around all day and I don't want to remove the strips at all.
BTW: The very first night I wore them, I had the best night's sleep I have had in a long time.
My suggestion to anyone thinking about buying them, is to do what I did, buy the smallest package available and try them out. i.e. I think I paid $3.99 for a box of 12 and now I'm hooked.
Product Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
These little guys are very sticky and just springy enough to pull open your nasal passages to let you breath easy. They help with snoring, but I use them in order to be able to breath through my nose comfortably. No complaints here, just clean, stick and breath.
If you have sensitive skin, opt for the clear ones. They don't adhere as strongly, so are much easier to peel off in the morning.
