When applied to your nose correctly, a Breathe Right nasal strip can help relieve nasal congestion, improve breathing, and reduce snoring. Breathe Right nasal strips are designed to gently lift the sides of your nose and open your nasal passages.[1]

Steps

  1. 1
    Wash the surface of your nose using gentle, mild soap. Cleaning your nose thoroughly will help remove dirt and oil from your skin, and allow the strip to adhere to your nose more effectively.[2]
  2. 2
    Use a soft towel to gently pat your nose dry.

    Place the strip adhesive-side down across the bridge of your nose. The strip should be positioned across the area located just above the flare of each nostril.[4]
  5. 5
    Press down on the ends of the strip gently to ensure that the adhesive strip sticks fully to your nose.[5]
  6. 6
    Rub your fingers gently across the top of the strip to verify that the strip is secured to your nose.[6]
