Perfect for sleeping and for training.
An extra-strength spring physically lifts and opens the nostrils, and a soft cotton pad protects your skin. Each strip helps maximise nasal airflow, delivering more oxygen with every inhale to sharpen focus, fuel endurance, and support peak performance.
Sweat-resistant, rain-ready, and made to stay put through the night and long training sessions. Each strip uses hypoallergenic medical-grade adhesive from Henkel for secure wear on any skin type. And, a soft cotton pad cushions the bridge of your nose to prevent irritation, even during high-output training.
Highlights:
Most strips that fall off were applied to skin that was not ready. Three steps fix that.
Wash the bridge of your nose with soap and water. Sunscreen, moisturiser and the skin's own oil are what an adhesive slides off, and all three are usually there. Once the strip is on you can apply your normal skincare routine around it.
Dry the skin on your nose completely. Pat with a towel, then wait a moment. The adhesive bonds to dry skin and nothing else. This step is critical for the strip to stay on all night, or all through your long run.
Peel the backing and hold the strip by its ends. Centre it just above the flare of your nostrils, on the soft part of the nose below the bone. Press firmly along the whole strip for 5 seconds, so the adhesive warms to the skin. Do this immediately after you dry your nose, before you start sweating or apply an other skin products.
An extra strength spring pulls open your nostrils to maximise airflow, and make breathing feel easy.
The nasal strip is a flat spring held against the skin by the adhesive. It wants to straighten, so it pulls the sides of the nose outward and holds your nostrils open wide. Nothing goes inside your nose and it is drug free. The effect is entirely mechanical. Standard strips are often too weak to make a difference. Ours is built to open your nostrils as wide as possible.
A soft cotton pad sits between the spring and the bridge of your nose. It spreads the pull of the spring across the skin and keeps the strip comfortable for a long session or a full night. This means when you're ready to pull the strip off, it won't take your skin with it.
We use Henkel medical-grade hypoallergenic adhesive, the kind used on skin for dressings and bandages. It is made to hold on skin that is sweating, and to release with warm water, once you are ready to take it off.
Just inside each nostril the airway narrows to its smallest point, the nasal valve. It is the main source of resistance when you breathe through your nose. When you breathe hard, the soft wall of the nostril can draw inward and narrow it further.
External nasal dilator strips have been studied since the 1990s. Across the trials reviewed, they consistently widen the nasal valve and lower nasal resistance in healthy adults, measured by rhinomanometry. One randomised trial recorded about 21% more nasal airflow and about 27% less resistance with a strip in place. The effect is mechanical and consistent.
A 2004 study used an airflow perturbation device to measure resistance directly, rather than asking people how they felt. Strips lowered nasal resistance on inhalation and exhalation alike. We prefer that kind of evidence.
A nasal strip has one job: stay on and hold the nose open. Most fail at the first part. The spring is stronger, the pad is softer and the adhesive is made for skin that sweats. Put it on properly and forget it is there. That is the whole point.
