9 reasons why snorers are grabbing these nose strips in droves

SUMMARY
A brace that hurts your jaw. A spray that has worn off again after a few hours. Sleeping on your side until you turn over again without realizing it. All those things address the sound, and the sound only arises after your nose has let too little air through. A strip on the outside pulls your nostrils slightly open.
Many people snore less because of that and also wake up feeling more rested.
Reason 1
It’s not your weightand not your age
Nose closed, mouth open, throat vibrates
Snoring starts in two places. In some people, the vibration is in the nose itself, as air has to squeeze past it. In others, it happens in the throat, when the mouth falls open.
You have probably already blamed it on your weight, your age, or one glass of wine too many. All three can play a part. They just do not explain where that sound comes from.
Both types actually start in the same place. If your nose is too blocked at night, your mouth opens because there is no other route. Your tongue is attached to your lower jaw, so if your jaw drops backward, your tongue slides with it, and in your sleep your muscles are too relaxed to stop it.
This causes your tongue to rest against the back of your throat, making the airway narrower. The air has to move through it faster and pulls the loose tissue along with it, and that flapping is the sound.
Whichever of the two you have, it starts with how much air can pass through your nose.
Reason 2
On paper, you get enough sleep
It's not just you who's bothered by it
At night, you take about six thousand breaths. Through your nose, that air gets preprocessed: it is warmed, filtered, and your nose adds nitric oxide, a gas that slightly opens the blood vessels in your lungs so oxygen passes into your blood more easily.
Through your mouth, the air skips all those steps.
Six thousand breaths that deliver less than they could have.
And it takes more effort, so when it becomes too much, your brain briefly lifts you out of deep sleep so your airway opens up, and then it starts all over again.
So yes, you sleep. You just don’t recover.
Reason 3
Why the brace, the spray, and the pillow only work temporarily
Unsustainable
There’s probably a drawer somewhere in your home with the proof inside. A brace you stuck with for two weeks, a half-empty bottle of spray, maybe a pillow that ended up in the attic.
All three worked a little, and all three asked for something in return. The brace asks for your jaw and your teeth, and sometimes the dentist has to step in. The spray asks for your independence, because anyone who needs it every night has grown used to it. Sleeping on your side requires you to stay on your side, and no one manages that for an entire night.
You’ve tried enough. There just wasn’t anything among them that you could stick with for years.
Sleep apnea
With sleep apnea, your breathing stops briefly during the night and your oxygen levels really drop. Persistent snoring can be the first sign, so have it checked.
Reason 4
What would it take to make it sustainable?
Just ask yourself what a solution would need to do to actually be sustainable. It shouldn’t hurt, nothing should go in your mouth, you shouldn’t be able to get used to it, and it should work without you having to do anything at night.
That leaves just one place you can target: the outside of your nose, directly above your nostrils, where the sides of your nose curve inward.
That’s where a strip goes, with a splint inside it—a thin piece that always springs back to straight. It follows the curve of your nose and gently pushes back all night long. This allows up to 30% more air to pass through.
Temporarily 2+1 free
Limited-time offer: 2+1 free
Three packs of 30 strips, together 90 nights of freer breathing.
Breathing through an open nose takes no effort, so there’s no reason to pull you out of deep sleep. You drift off further and stay there longer, and deep sleep is the phase in which your body does the work.
You don’t notice it at night. You notice it in the morning.
Waking up without that first half hour, no slump at three o’clock, and still having some energy left in the evening.
And it gets quieter beside you. In the morning, there’s nothing left to say about how the night was.
Reason 6
Soft on your skin and still stays in place all night
Transparent and stays put
Most nose strips do one of two things. They either stick so firmly that they pull at your skin in the morning, or they come loose halfway through the night.
The adhesive is a hypoallergenic medical-grade adhesive from Henkel, made for prolonged skin contact. Gentle enough to wear for twelve hours, strong enough to stay in place if you toss and turn, get too warm, or sweat.
The strip is flexible and follows the curve of your nose, so the edges do not pull or irritate, and after a few minutes you will not even notice it anymore.
And with the transparent version, you can hardly tell you are wearing it.
Reason 7
You snore louder especially with a cold
Get through the night without spray
Having a cold and snoring more loudly go hand in hand, and that makes sense. A nose that is blocked by a cold or by pollen lets even less air through, so your mouth opens more quickly. On the very nights when you need your sleep the most, you snore the loudest.
A strip does not cure that cold. What it does do is make the entrance to your nose wider, and that is usually enough to get through the night without your mouth taking over.
And you do not need a spray for it, so you do not build up anything you have to wean yourself off later.
That is why many people keep a pack ready in winter and spring.
Reason 8
Just feels better than the rest
Noticeable from the first breath
Many people notice straight away that this strip simply fits better.
The shape follows the curve of your nose, so the edges do not pull or poke.
Inside is a stronger brace that opens your nostrils slightly wider than the cheap alternatives. That is exactly what matters when it comes to snoring, because every millimetre at that opening makes a difference to airflow.
The hypoallergenic medical adhesive feels comfortable and stays in place all night, even if you toss and turn or sweat.
And if you prefer to keep it discreet, choose the transparent one, which really is clear and not 'skin-coloured' like most others.
Reason 9
After sixty nights money back
Whether this makes a difference for you depends on your nose, and we don’t know that in advance.
That’s why you don’t have to believe it. Try it for sixty nights, and if you don’t notice any difference in your breathing or your sleep afterwards, you’ll get a full refund from us, even if the packaging has been opened.
The only thing you risk is that it stays the way it is now.

Veel Asked Questions
Does this also help if I snore through my mouth?+
That is exactly where it usually starts. If your nose is too blocked at night, your mouth opens and your tongue falls back, and that is where the sound is made. If enough air comes through your nose, your mouth does not need to take over, and many people notice that things become quieter as a result. If your mouth still falls open, then mouth tape is the addition that solves it.
How quickly will I notice a difference?+
You notice right away when putting it on that more air flows through your nose. Whether it really changes your sleep, you’ll only know after a few nights, and for some people after a few weeks. That’s why you get sixty nights to try it out at your own pace.
How do I put it on, and how long can I leave it on?+
Make sure your nose is clean and dry, peel off the protective layer, and place the center of the strip just above your nostrils so that both ends rest on the sides of your nose. Press down firmly. It can stay on for up to twelve hours, so it will easily last the whole night. In the morning, it's most comfortable to remove it with warm water so the adhesive softens first.
Are they suitable for sensitive skin?+
Yes, and the latest version has been specially adapted for that. The skin in the middle of your nose is the thinnest, and that is exactly where people using nose strips would get red spots. That is why there is no adhesive in the middle of our strips.
What if it doesn't work for me?+
Then send them back and get every euro refunded. You have 60 nights to try them out at your leisure, and you don’t have to explain to us why you didn’t like them. No hassle, no fine print.
Can I use the strip while I am tapering off my nasal spray?+
Yes, and honestly, that’s exactly when it does the most for you. It contains no active ingredient, so it won’t interfere with your spray. You apply it on the evenings when you’re cutting back, and it helps you get through the night without spraying again.

Breathing through the mouth
I ordered them for my husband because he breathes so heavily (through his mouth), but that is now over. In addition, he likes them so much that he now uses them while exercising too.
5/5 then!!
Jeanet Bloemert|Geverifieerd

Much more air
As soon as you put on the strip, you notice that you suddenly get a lot more air. I also sleep more deeply. Before, I regularly woke up with a dry mouth, but that is now a thing of the past.

My sleep has really improved!
I’ve been using the strips now for 3 months and I’m really sleeping better! I was addicted to nasal spray, but now I sleep well with the strips. They really open up my nose! Definitely recommended!

fan
Use them for running and sleeping. Sometimes they even stay on after showering, and I can go straight to sleep with them without putting on a new pair. I’m almost through my 3rd pack already, so I’ll definitely get new ones!

“I’ve tried several nose and mouth strips, but the ones from Snoozeless are really the best. They’re the most comfortable, flexible, and they just work as they should.I recommend them!”

More air
The nose strips are effective and usually stay on well. I breathe better through my nose at night, in my experience. So I’m satisfied, but there is one downside: removing them is sometimes really difficult, and I don’t mind that so much since they also need to stay firmly in place, but the adhesive that remains is not easy to get off.
