Don’t get me wrong, I really like Breathe Right. They really help me sleep better.
But “Breathe Right-Large Tan Nasal Strips, 100ct (2 Pack)”is not a good offer from DAB Nutrition. Beware that “100ct (2 Pack)” does NOT mean 2×100, it means 2×50.
Adding in the shipping, I could have bought it for less locally.
Here on Amazon, some of the offers say “## count BOXES (Pack of # [boxes])”
If it doesn’t say “BOXES”, then the count is probably the total count for all the boxes combined – much less than you might think you’re getting.
DOUBLECHECK quantities listed with the vendor BEFORE you buy, especially if the vendor is DAB Nutrition. (I’m really sorry I didn’t doublecheck)
They word their product quantities very ambiguously.
BTW, the ones sold directly by Amazon can be eligible for the free shipping, so kept that in mind too, when considering dealing w/ a 3rd party like DAB Nutrition, which doesn’t have free shipping.
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.

My wife says that when I use these strips, it stops most of my snoring. Even when I still snore, she says it isn’t as loud. The strips stay in place throughout the night (unlike other products that go inside the nose).
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.
As the box says, these will reduce snoring. Don’t expect them to eliminate snoring 100%. They do keep my nasal passages open and help me breathe easier at night. My wife uses the clear ones, as they have less adhesive and are easier to remove.
I have used the Breathe Right tan nasal strips every night for years and they work well. However I tried the clear strips and found they do not stay on as well as the tan ones.
I had some of these lying around in a drawer for several years, and then out of desparation, I tried them. I can’t attest to this, but they may have saved my life. I sleep more soundly, wake less often, dream more often, and wake in the morning feeling more…a lot more…rested. If you have trouble breathing at night, they are definetly worth a try. THANKS!!
My husband is a loud snorer. Not ever night–but almost every night. I have actually woke him up in the middle of the night and told him to put one of these nose strips on. Or I sneak one out of the box and slap it on his nose while he’s sleeping! It really makss a difference. He doesn’t stop snoring completely when wearing one of the nose strips but the volume certainly is dialed down. That is better than nothing!
There used to be a little red thread on each individual Band Aid wrapper, but they have done away with that and there is no other way to get the band-aid out other than just savagely rip it off. Of course, that often bends or tears the Band-Aid. If there is a better way, they sure don’t make any reference to it on the package. You’d think the packaging engineers at J & J would be smart enough to have figured out a user-friendly way to open the darn wrapper. Sadly, other bandage makers are no better. What is it with bandage makers?
These gizmos work wonders. They reduce snoring/apnea by a simple mechanical solution of holding your nostrils open. Much more effective than nasal surgery or decongestants. Unfortunately, they are expensive since there is only one brand.
My wife complained about my snoring and suggested I try the Breathe Right strips. After trying the small and the large found out the large fits me much better. I don’t hear myself snore, but since I’ve been using these I haven’t gotten the elbow to the ribs (I always loved that).
Then I tried a Walmart brand (thought I could save some money), but they would not stay on my nose, so I am back to the Breathe Right brand.
The instructions recommend that you prep your nose first (wash), but I don’t need to do anything, which is great.
I have been using them for at least a year and have been very happy with them.
These “Tan” strips seem to hold better than the clear. My wife and I are sleeping better and seems to have cured a slight case of sleep apnea where our light snoring wake us up repeatedly.
This helped reduce my snoring, but not eliminate it. I’m a heavy snorer, so I imagine this would work better for someone who is a light/medium snorer. If my girlfriend would just wear earplugs, then I wouldn’t have to wear these crazy contraptions. Anyway, it’s worth trying it out, but don’t expect any miracles unless you buy them from Jesus.
I use nasal strips to help prevent snoring at night. Thought I would try these but have been disappointed with their performance. The problem seems to be the adhesive. The adhesive seems to be too slimy. They easily move around during the night plus after removal they leave a residue on my nose that has to be washed off. In comparison Breathe Right strips hold better and remove with little or no residue.
I have been using nasal strips for several years to prevent snoring. These are a much better value than the Breathe Right strips. You get more of them per package and at a lower cost. To eliminate the possibility of coming off while sleeping, I simply use an alcohol-moistened cotton ball to remove any oil on my skin, let it dry for a few seconds and apply as directed on the package directions. I used the same procedure for the more expensive strips as well.
My wife often complained about by snoring. There appeared little I could do other than sleeping in the guest room. Then, after I communicated her complaints to my primary physician, I underwent a sleep test. Suddenly the problem became clear. According to the doctor, I was getting very little sleep and my health was deteriorating.
In the test they found that I awakened about three hundred times during the night. They explained that when I became relaxed my Uvula relaxed and closed off my trachea. When I would stop breathing my system would awaken me enough that I could take a breath, but not fully awaken. Since it was happening over three hundred times each night, I was getting little REM sleep.
So I found Breathe Right strips. I do not understand the technology, but somehow I no longer snore and I get better sleep. I strongly recommend these to anyone who snores, and even people who are tired all the time – maybe you do not know you have a problem, I didn’t. Personally, I intend to use these little marvels every night.
BTW: Many months later, my physicians ordered a CPAP machine for me to use while sleeping. With the combination of CPAP and Breathe Right, my sleep has improved greatly and my health has improved.
