What problem does it solve?
Regular nasal strips can lose their grip by morning, and some people find them irritating.
Intake uses two small adhesive tabs on each side of the nose plus a reusable magnetic band that clicks on top. The band lifts the sides of the nose to open the nasal valve, with nothing going inside your nostrils.
What living with it is like
- Find your fit. The starter kit includes 4 band sizes so you can find the right balance of lift and comfort.
- About a month of nights. 30 sets of adhesive tabs come in the kit, one set per night.
- Reusable band. You keep the band and only replace the tabs.
- Stays put. Latex free adhesive designed to hold through sleep and workouts.
Before you buy
Snoring can sometimes be a sign of sleep apnea. If loud snoring comes with daytime tiredness or gasping at night, it’s worth talking to a doctor.
You’ll need to buy refill tabs once the first 30 run out.
Is it worth it for your home?
For mild snoring or congestion, it’s a simple, drug free thing to try, and a lot cheaper than most sleep gadgets.
If nasal strips don’t help you at all, this probably won’t either, since it works the same basic way.
