Breathe RightOriginal Nose Strips to Reduce Snoring and Relieve Nose Congestion, Tan, 30 Count (Packaging May Vary)

I've tried Breath Right strips as well as the Silent Mammoth, the Rhinomed Mute and Rhinomed Turbine products and this review will be comparing the pros and cons of these.- Airflow -The Silent Mammoth seems to have a similar effect to the Breath Right Strips in that it expands the upper nostril area whereas the Rhinomed products expand the lower nostril area (the nose entry point). For me, the upper nostril expansion is more beneficial than the lower. This may be different for others. So Silent Mammoth and Breath Right Strips are a tie for first in this category.- Comfort -The Breath Right Strips are the most comfortable of all options. I can sleep with them, eat with them, have a conversation, do any sort of mouth movements and barely notice it's there. It's no surprise why they're so popular. The Rhinomed Mute comes in second - I notice it's there but I don't feel any discomfort. The Rhinomed Turbine material is a little more firm (it's for athletes and active people) which means it stays in the nose more strongly but for me I feel agitated after wearing it for a few hours. The Silent Mammoth feels great as long as I'm not doing anything active with my mouth like eating or smiling/laughing. So for stuff like sleeping it's fine. Once I need move my mouth around then it starts to agitate my nose. So in order of Comfort from best to worst - Breath Right Strips, Rhinomed Mute, Rhinomed Turbine, Silent Mammoth.- Appearance -This is a little subjective. If you're fine looking like you have a nose piercing, which I am, the Silent Mammoth has the most low profile look. From 10 feet away you probably won't notice it. The Rhinomed Mute comes in second because it's a little thicker material. Next is the Rhinomed Turbine because it's bright yellow. Then worst of all are breath right strips for obvious reasons. I would not feel comfortable going to work with a breath right strip on my face. The other products are much better looking in my opinion.- Ease of Use -Breath right strips are the easiest to install. There's very little room for error. The Rhinomed products come in second - after ordering the multi pack, you first have to find which size fits your nose then adjust the nostril rings of that version. Coming in last, The Silent Mammoth has taken me a few days of experimenting to figure out a good setup. It's great because there are infinite variations on how you can bend the shape but that also means it will take some time to find the right fit.- Cleaning / Reuse -This is the main reason I wanted to try alternative to the breath right strips. I got really tired of throwing them away every day and cleaning the glue off of my nose. What a mess. So breath right strips are clearly last in this category. Although Rhinomed advertises that they need to be replaced every so often I think they're just trying to sell more products. Warm water and soap after each use should be fine. Cleaning is the same for the Silent Mammoth. I will put Silent Mammoth in first place here because they're easy to clean like the Rhinomed but also come with great storage cases and are intended for reuse.- Cost -This depends on how you look at it. If you're just looking at one time costs, the Breath Right Strips are cheapest, followed by Rhinomed, then Silent Mammoth being most expensive. If you're looking at cost per use - the Silent Mammoth and Rhinomed will earn their keep if you keep cleaning them. The Rhinomed also comes with 3 per purchase so if you're looking at long term cost per use - I'd put Rhinomed first, then Silent Mammoth, then Breath Right Strips.- Conclusion -These all serve slightly different functions so I'd encourage you to try them out to see what works for you. For me, the reusability and airflow from the Silent Mammoth makes it my current favorite. I just with I could use it during more active times like eating, smiling, laughing. I'll probably keep all three in my toolkit and use each depending on the situation.

Best way I know of to open your nostrils to get more air, especially while sleeping. Wish there was a way to easily get the sticky residue off the outside skin of your nostrils after removing the strips in the morning. But I am just glad these exist because they sure do work well. I highly recommend them. And stick with the "Breathe Right" brand. Those cheaper brands don't work!

In my opinion, these were the only thing that worked to open the nasal passages, but dear Lord, do they hurt coming off. I tried putting water on them for a little bit before taking them off and that kind of worked but using a face cream like a moisturizer and let it sit for a minute or two helps. Really look at the instructions to put them on correctly a big drawback is you really only get one shot to stick them down.It was a big help during allergy season, but I’m really glad I don’t have to wear them all year. They are definitely worse a try. I would give them five stars if it wasn’t for the pain factor.

These strips literally make a huge difference in my breathing. I get less headaches and feel better throughout the day!

I find this works as good as anything else. Sticks well. Doesn’t damage skin If you can also take a daily Flonase with this it’s a good combination

We seem to have differing opinions on this one in my house. He thinks the strips work great, but he also is not the one listening to himself snore! I'm giving this a mid review because it works to hold his sinuses open at night and he feels like he can breathe better which is a plus of course. But I was really hoping these strips would reduce snoring.... they do not.

These are LARGE! Please be careful when you order. I was in a rush, and didn’t pay attention to the fact that these are large. They are much bigger than the average size breathe right strip. Much too big for my nose. A combination of desperation and not wanting the hassle of exchanging, I kept them and have been using them. My nose is a normal size. They still work, but I’m not sure they work as well as the regular size.However, it’s great for those with a larger or wider nose. The whole piece is substantially bigger. Glad everyone of all shapes and sizes can find relief equally.I don’t know if it’s the size or what, but I find these do leave a sticky residue on my nose, and I have to peel off little bit of adhesive when washing my face in the morning. Beggars can’t be choosers, so that minor inconvenience is a fair trade off in order to be able to sleep without my mouth open!

Bought for my husband to help with his snoring. They work great! He notices a big difference in his ability to breathe at night. The negative is that sometimes the stick doesn't stay string all night.
