Top 10 best Nasal Strips 2022 Passed Our Test

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.

The one and only problem I have with these is that they are not very ridged, the spine isn’t very stiff. Better brands use the stiffer spine to apply upward force on the nostrils to help keep the more open. While these do a decent job, they do fall short of some of the other major brand. Still, though, using these is far better than not using them if you need them.

Great product really opened me up. Slept really well. Didn’t even snore that night. However, it did give me a rash from the adhesive around my nose. That’s why I give them four stares instead of five.

I didn’t even realize why I couldn’t breath at night. These work so well!!

Ok, this is a funny product if you don’t need it for a serious reason, like keeping a breathing tube in place or something like that, so no offense is meant by my review. I was interested in trying this because lately I’ve been waking up with the most horrendous dry mouth and my snoring has amplified to a level that startles ME awake nearly every night. I have no idea how I stumbled upon mouth tape as a possible solution, but one-click later and I had the mouth tape in hand. First things first: your mouth area needs to be completely dry and free of any lotions/oils/lip balm. Even if you applied it a couple hours earlier, it will negatively affect the adhesion, so keep it dry. Secondly: once the tape is on, it’s ON. Don’t try to adjust it or you will lose the adhesion. Make sure your lips are comfortably relaxed and not pressed too tightly, because remember, this is how you are sleeping, so I would recommend opening your mouth super wide (like you’re yawning) and then naturally close your mouth and apply the tape. This will give you a closed mouth without it being a tight-lip-sealed-mouth. Third: you are done talking, eating, drinking for the night. This may be your ultimate goal! If you are looking for a way to literally keep your mouth shut so you aren’t sneaking a midnight snack while you watch “just one more episode,” this is the tape for you. My mouth stayed closed all night and I woke with a demonstrably non-dry mouth/throat. It’s not very uncomfortable and honestly once I fell asleep it didn’t bother me at all. Peeling it off in the morning is a bit of a lip exfoliation, but not terribly so and anyway, that’s supposed to be good for you, so no complaints. No sticky residue left behind. NOW: why only 3 stars? It did not positively affect my snoring at all. Roof was still shaking, husband was still pissed, I was still being scared awake because I thought a car was crashing into the house. Very very sad that the mouth tape didn’t help at all for the snoring, but it did help with the dry mouth, so there’s that. You get about a million in this one box, so I’ll probably keep using it just for that reason. WARNING: do not walk over to someone who is telling you a crazy boring meandering story and apply the tape over his mouth. You will think this is very funny and a solid solution; the person with his mouth suddenly taped shut might not.
