On The Nose Co. FAQs

External nasal strips use flexible bands to gently lift the sides of the nose and support a more open nasal passage.

They create a gentle outward lift across the lower bridge of the nose, which may reduce resistance through the front of the nasal airway.

Many people notice easier nasal breathing when a strip is positioned correctly. Results vary depending on anatomy and the cause of restriction.

Clean and fully dry the nose, place the strip just above the nostril flare, then press the centre and ends firmly for 10–15 seconds.

Skin oil, moisturiser, sweat, sunscreen, damp skin or incorrect placement can reduce adhesion. Apply only to clean, completely dry skin.

A strip is single-use and can generally be worn for up to 8–12 hours. Remove it sooner if irritation or discomfort occurs.

No. Reuse reduces adhesion, hygiene and lifting performance.

Wet the strip with warm water and peel slowly from both ends toward the centre.

Many customers do. Stop or take a break if your skin becomes irritated.

They cannot correct a deviated septum, but may improve comfort for some people by supporting the external nasal valve.

They do not treat allergies, but may make the front of the nose feel less restricted.

Some people do, provided it does not interfere with the mask seal. Ask your sleep clinician if unsure.

They may reduce snoring when restricted nasal airflow contributes to the noise. They will not help every cause of snoring.

Snoring occurs when upper-airway tissues vibrate during sleep. Congestion, back sleeping, alcohol, body weight, anatomy and sleep apnoea can contribute.

The mechanical lift begins immediately after application. Any change in snoring or comfort may be noticeable on the first night.

No. They do not treat obstructive sleep apnoea and must not replace CPAP, oral appliances or medical care.

Seek advice for loud persistent snoring, choking, gasping, witnessed breathing pauses, morning headaches or daytime sleepiness.

It may help some people because back sleeping can allow the tongue and soft tissues to narrow the airway.

Dry mouth can be linked to mouth breathing, dehydration, medication, congestion or other health conditions.

Yes. Use a fresh strip on clean, dry skin.

They use two single-use adhesive tabs and a reusable magnetic band that creates outward lift on the nasal sidewalls.

The magnetic band is reusable. The adhesive tabs should be replaced after each wear.

Place one tab on each side of the nose as shown in the product instructions so the band lifts evenly.

They may help when restricted nasal airflow contributes to snoring, but they do not treat sleep apnoea.

Yes. Apply the tabs before sweating and avoid skincare or sunscreen underneath them.

Wipe it gently with a damp cloth and allow it to dry fully.

They use a different lifting system. The best choice depends on comfort, activity, skin type and personal preference.

Because the product contains magnets, ask your doctor or device manufacturer before use.

It is a single-use adhesive strip with a central slit, designed as a gentle cue to discourage the lips from falling fully open during sleep.

It supports the lips in a closed position and may encourage nasal breathing when the nose is already clear.

No. Do not use it when your nose is blocked, breathing is restricted, you feel nauseated, or after alcohol or sedating medication.

The slit provides a small central opening. It does not make mouth tape suitable when nasal breathing is obstructed.

It may help selected adults whose snoring is linked to sleeping with the mouth open, but it will not address every cause.

No. It must not replace CPAP or professional sleep-apnoea treatment.

No. Only use mouth tape when nasal breathing is completely clear and comfortable.

Clean and dry the skin, gently close the lips and apply as directed. Test it while awake before sleeping.

Facial hair may reduce adhesion and make removal uncomfortable.

Not without direct advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Athletes commonly use them to support nasal airflow and reduce the feeling of restriction during warm-ups, training and competition.

They do not create oxygen. They may improve airflow comfort, but research does not show a guaranteed performance increase for everyone.

Yes. Apply before sweating and press firmly onto clean, dry skin.

Yes. Test them during training before race day.

They may be used for many field sports, subject to competition rules and instructions from officials or medical staff.

Yes. Apply before sunscreen or sweat reaches the placement area.

Yes. Some people use them to make nasal breathing feel more comfortable during breath-focused exercise.

Adhesion depends on skin preparation, humidity, sweat and placement. Clean, dry skin gives the best result.

No. Test it during several training sessions first.

It is an adjustable respiratory muscle training device that creates resistance while you breathe through it.

Breathing against controlled resistance makes the respiratory muscles work harder.
