Training feels harder when every breath feels restricted. Gentle external nasal support may help nasal airflow feel more comfortable during running, sport and high-intensity sessions.
Less restriction.
More focus on your session.
Nose strips work externally to support the outer nasal walls without sprays, medication or equipment.
Nasal restriction can distract from your effort.
Sweat, intensity and naturally narrow nasal passages can make nasal breathing feel less comfortable during exercise.
A simple strip supports the nasal sidewalls.
Flexible bands gently support the sides of the nose, helping airflow feel less restricted while the strip is being worn.

Running and sport questions answered.
Can I wear nose strips while running?
Yes. Apply the strip to clean, dry skin before exercise and press firmly before you begin sweating.
Do nose strips improve running performance?
They do not guarantee faster times or improved fitness. They may make nasal airflow feel less restricted for some runners.
Will the strips stay on when I sweat?
Adhesion varies by skin type and conditions. Clean and fully dry the skin and avoid moisturiser or sunscreen where the strip will sit.
Can I use the same strips for sleep?
Yes. They can be worn during sleep, sport or everyday activities. Each strip is single-use.
Are clear and black nose strips different?
Both are designed to support the nasal sidewalls. The best choice depends on appearance, skin and personal preference.
Can they reduce mouth breathing while running?
Some runners find that reducing the sensation of nasal restriction makes nasal breathing easier to maintain. The strips do not force nasal breathing.
Can I use them for HYROX or gym sessions?
Yes. They are suitable for mixed training, gym, cycling, team sport and other active routines when correctly applied.
Where should I position the strip?
Centre it across the lower bridge of your nose, just above where the nostrils begin to flare.
How long can I wear one strip?
Each strip can generally be worn for up to 12 hours. Remove it after use and do not reapply the same strip.
When should I stop using the strips?
Stop use if you develop persistent irritation, pain or a skin reaction. Seek professional advice for ongoing breathing difficulty.
