Yes! Breathe Right® Nasal Strips are a drug‑free way to relieve nasal congestion.

Breathe Right® Nasal Strips can be found in the sleeping aids, or cough and cold aisle of your favourite retailer (whether that’s your local pharmacy or the grocery store). Can’t find Breathe Right® Nasal Strips in store? Ask an employee to help you locate them!

Each Breathe Right® nasal strip is uniquely engineered with flexible “spring-like” bands that gently stick to the area right above the flare of each nostril. As the bands attempt to straighten back to their original shape, they gently lift the sides of the nose—instantly opening your nose for relief you can feel right away.

We’re glad you asked! Follow the steps below.

Clean the skin
The adhesive won’t stick properly to wet, oily, or moisturized skin, so wash and dry your nose before applying.

Size matters
No, really. Our strips come in different sizes and sensitivity levels, making it easy to determine which strip is best for you.

Position is everything
Place the adhesive side of the strip right above where your nose flares out.

Breathe easy
Gently rub the strip to secure it into place on your nose. Take a deep breath. Better breathing begins now.

To remove
Wash your face with warm water for 10 seconds, then gently lift each side of the strip and remove. Ta‑da!

Generally speaking, we recommend the small size for children (and any petite‑faced folks!) and the medium / large size for adults.

The benefits of Breathe Right® Nasal Strips – more air, better breathing – aren’t limited to nasal congestion caused by seasonal allergies, or night-time nasal congestion. On the contrary, Breathe Right® Nasal Strips can help you breathe better just about anywhere. Breathe Right® Nasal Strips gently open the nose so that you can experience air flowing more easily through the nose. Whether using them for general health & well-being, relaxation or during gentle exercise, Breathe Right® Nasal Strips help you breathe better anytime, anywhere!

Nasal congestion – whether from a cold or allergies – narrows the already-small nasal breathing space in the nose, making breathing through the nose more difficult. Breathe Right® nasal strips widen nostrils, helping you take air in more easily and providing relief you can feel right away.

Yes, it may! Better breathing means better sleep. Even subtle breathing difficulties can lead to tossing and turning, fitful or disruptive sleep, waking up frequently, or waking up tired. Breathe Right® Nasal Strips open your nose, helping you take in air more easily.

Many people suffer with a deviated septum – a bend in the cartilage or bone that separates the nostrils inside the nose. Symptoms include an airflow blockage through one or both nostrils, difficulty sleeping, chronic nasal stuffiness, and loud breathing or snoring. While Breathe Right® Nasal Strips should not be considered an alternative to surgical correction, they can help to improve nasal air flow, allowing you to take in air more easily. Even better? They may offer relief you can feel right away.

Breathe Right® Clear / Transparent / Sensitive * Nasal Strips work the same way our Original / Beige / Classic* Nasal Strips do.

However, the materials used are slightly different. Original / Beige / Classic’s material is more porous – when the strip is taken out of the pack and exposed to air, the adhesive is activated to a tackiness phase, creating a glue-like consistency. Clear / Transparent / Sensitive works in the opposite way. The material is non-porous and prevents air from reaching the adhesive material, making it easier to remove after use. So, if you’ve got dry or sensitive skin, Clear / Transparent / Sensitive strips are probably the perfect match for you!
