How to apply nasal strips?
Clean your skin, peel, place, and press the strip just above your nostrils, hold for 10 seconds, then breathe. You've now activated FULL BREATHMODE!

Full instructions guide below:

STEP 1 - CLEAN

Start with a clean, dry nose, free of any oils or moisturizers. This creates the perfect surface for a powerful hold.

STEP 2 - PEEL

Gently remove the protective backing from the strip to expose the skin-safe, performance-grade adhesive.

STEP 3 - PLACE

Apply the strip on your nose bridge, with the ends sitting on the alar crease. Not to high or too low. Proper placement is the key.

STEP 4 - PRESS

Immediately on application, press and hold the strip firmly for 10 seconds. This activates the adhesive bond, locking the strip in place.

PRO TIPS

FOR BEST APPLICATION & USE

MOISTURISE EARLIER

Nasal strips & freshly moisturized skin don't mix well. If you use moisturiser at night, apply it at least 30–60 minutes before putting on your strip. Your skin should be completely dry for application, or the adhesive won’t hold.

PLACE CORRECTLY

For best results, place the strip just above or across your alar crease, where your nostrils flare out. That’s the sweet spot for max airflow. Too high, it gets near sensitive skin under your eyes, too low, and it won’t open your airways.

PRESS FIRMLY

Once it’s in place, press along the full length of the strip for 10+ seconds. Don't skip this step! While you're pressing, use your fingers to run across the strip, smoothing down the entire strip and its edges to seal it tight.

Troubleshooting

COMMON PROBLEMS

This usually means the skin wasn’t completely dry or you didn't place and press long enough. Any moisture, oil, or skincare residue will stop the adhesive from bonding. Clean and dry your nose first, and then ensure you place correctly and hold long enough to allow the strip to bond.

Make sure you followed our instructions, with dry skin and have firmly pressed for 10+ seconds during application. Try letting it “set” for a minute before moving or sweating. Avoid touching it once applied. If you’re a heavy sweater or have oily skin consider applying a fresh strip right before bed or training.

Loosen gently from both ends and peel toward the centre. If it’s gripping tight, use warm water, steam, or remove it right after a hot shower when the adhesive has softened slightly.

If you have a nasal restriction and need nasal strips, you should feel a gentle, but noticeable lift across the bridge of your nose with smoother airflow through your nostrils. If not, you may not have a nasal restriction and may not need nasal strips. Otherwise, do try adjusting the placement. The strip should sit just above or across the alar crease, not on the tip or too high up the bridge.

Sadly no. Each strip is designed for single use only. Once removed, the adhesive and tension strength are gone. Reusing can reduce lift and irritate your skin.

Depending on activity and length of use, sometimes a little adhesive residue can remain. It can be easily removed with warm water, a gentle cleanser, or even a quick rub with your fingers

We don’t recommend it. Oils and silicones from those products interfere with adhesion. Apply the strip to clean skin only.
