intakeBreathing Nasal Strip Starter Kit (30 Count, Black) - Boost Oxygen Intake, Reduce Snoring, Improve Sleep Quality - Sweat Resistant, Skin Safe Nasal Strips - Extra Strength Snoring Solution

I’ve been using this nose dilator for a while now, and I’m really impressed with the overall quality. The intake is designed really well—it feels durable and sturdy, not flimsy like some others I’ve tried. It fits my nose comfortably and stays in place without any irritation.The adhesive pads are also excellent. They have a strong grip, but they’re not painful to remove. Just make sure you clean your nose (wipe off any oil or sweat) before applying—it makes a big difference in how well they stick. Once they’re on, they stay put throughout the night or even during intense workouts.I originally got it to help with my sleep, and I’ve definitely noticed that I breathe easier at night and wake up feeling more rested. But I also started using it while running, and it’s been a game changer. I can breathe more freely, which helps me maintain my pace and feel less fatigued.Overall, I highly recommend this if you’re looking for something to improve nasal airflow, whether it’s for better sleep, sports, or just day-to-day comfort.

It really opens up my nostrils and helps me breathe much better while I sleep. I have a CPAP and I have always had a hard time using it, I usually rip it off after about 2 hours into sleeping. This DOES NOT stop you from snoring nor is it a sleep apnea cure but it absolutely has helped me stay asleep longer and promote more airflow while I sleep. It’s very easy to use and the different sizes are nice to start out with. I have a pretty large nose and a deviated septum on my left nostril so it closes almost completely when I breathe in through it. My size is the L1 band. However there is 1 thing you HAVE to do. Take a cotton ball, tear off a little piece, and put it between the band and your nose so the band does not sit right on your nose. The bands are not the most comfortable because it is hard plastic. The tiny piece of cotton ball never falls out and I wake up with no red indentation on my nose or any soreness and I barely notice I’m wearing it. I tried it for my first night without the cotton and I had to take it off it was making my nose very sore. The Tiny piece of cotton fixed the discomfort. I can never reach REM sleep using CPAP or naturally sleeping, but on my first night I only woke once and it was after 6 continuous hours of sleeping. I felt great that morning for once. Overall this thing has improved my quality of sleep which is all I was looking for so I give it a 5/5. The refills are a little pricey so I’ll probably just try and use pore tape and cut the magnets out to reuse them.

I found out about intake through an instagram ad and thought it looked fantastic so I purchased it just to try it out. 20 dollars seemed reasonable, and I would say even for that price, this thing is pretty worth it.In terms of the product itself, it does everything it claims to do, it opens up my airway fantastically. The quality is great, the plastic is not cheap feeling, the magnetic applicator is actually very handy, makes it easy to apply, and it includes sizing for almost any nose size. The stickers themselves work great, and so long as you clean your nose beforehand, they won’t start to come off until you wear them longer than 24hrs. If I was rating based on the product itself, I’d give a perfect review.I like to wear mine before bed, which drastically improves my sleep quality. I’ve also worn it to the gym a few times which was amazing, but I’m not brave enough to show up with it on every day lol. Any situation where you need to open up your airways works great with this. Sometimes if I’m gonna be working from home, I’ll just stick it on the morning and leave it on all day!Positives aside, when I ran out of the adhesive magnets, I went and checked the price of the refills. Intake wants to charge $30 for 30 stickers. I don’t know how you can justify charging a dollar for a bandaid with a tiny magnet in it. Mind you, without those, the product is completely unusable. Since I didn’t want to pay the equivalent of 2 Prime memberships every month to continue using my nose strip, I went online to do some research to see if maybe there was a DIY solution or way to reuse the stickers…Turns out, I discovered THIS EXACT PRODUCT is on aliexpress, sold by the actual manufacturer for $2 dollars (for the same starter pack kit).Not a knockoff version, the exact same product. I have both kits now and besides packaging, the two products are literally indistinguishable. Same logo, same materials, same sizing, even the swirling pattern on the magnetic applicator is the same.Not only that, but the refill sticker packs cost $7 for 100 count… basically, intake is selling you a product that they didn't actually invent, don’t actually make, putting their own branding and charging you 10x markup for the kit and 15x markup for refills.So while I absolutely love the product, I can’t help but feeling like I’ve been duped into participating in someone’s get rich quick scheme by buying from Intake. I honestly wouldn’t even fault them if they sold it for a less ridiculous markup, since at least you have the convenience of avoiding international shipping and having prime overnight. But in my mind, selling a $0.07 sticker for 1 dollar is totally unjustified.Rating 3 stars, because despite the drop shipping scam, the product itself is perfect. If it weren’t for intake’s shady business model, I would have rated 5 stars.

First off, I wanted to say I am a DAILY user of breath right strips and have been for a few years. I use the extra strength tan strips & have zero complaints, other than they haven’t been in stock at my local Walmart lately, assuming because it’s allergy season. Regardless, that’s why I purchased this product.It does work beautifully, just as well as the breath right strips. My only personal complaint is that it leaves a sticky residue on my nose which is something I do not experience with breath right strips.I’m torn on whether or not I think it’s less wasteful than breath right strips because about the same amount of the product is disposable as the alternatives. You also receive 4 sizes in a package, and what am I going to do with the other 3 that don’t fit? Nothing. Ever.I also feel like the disposable tabs are a bit pricy but I’ve heard they are on AliExpress for significantly less, so I’m going to give those a shot and see if they are a quality product.I also think for a reusable product, some sort of case for safe keeping should come with the product. I know there is one for purchase.
