The little strips were the best invention for helping people to Breathe Right during the night. I use the clear ones because I sensitive skin. The small/medium size is the ones that fit most people. Before applying the strip, first wash your face to remove any oil or dirt. Otherwise the strip may come off during the night.
The strip once applied, forces your nasal passages open to let air flow freely and you breathe normally. If you are prone to snoring, which I am, my wife swears by them, so I wear them.
If you buy them through Amazon with their subscription service with free shipping, the price works out to about 30 cents each. That's a bargain if you have priced them in the stores.
Rating: - These things are great
I use them sometimes to sleep if I'm a little congested, and it does cut down on snoring, even if it's not severe snoring, and eliminates the dry mouth in the am. But I do use them almost always when doing a long treadmill run/walk. They really improve the exercise experience because I can breathe more through my nose. Since this might happen before I cleanse my face at night, I have to remember to swipe my nose with some witch hazel and then dry it so it sticks. At about 30 cents apiece, they are well worth it if they help me stick to my exercise program!
I've never had any particular problem with breathing except during times of having a cold. My occasional snoring has never been a major problem as far as I can tell. OK, I tried them under ordinary circumstances and under the stress of a cold. I tried them while running. If there's any difference in using the strips, it's subtle. I just can't see any major improvement. Personally, I'd have to consider the strips a marginally effective product and not worth the price or the effort. Does that mean that the other reports are wrong or misleading? No, not at all. I've used products, such as vitamin C, which I considered to be astonishingly effective and others have said It's a waste of money. I guess that's just individual differences. However, from my experience with the strips, I'm a skeptic.

OK. Every once and a while a product comes along with a simple premise and does EXACTLY what it claims to do. This is one of those products.
Please don't think I'm exaggerating when I tell you that if you have trouble night-breathing, this product will literally change your life.
Breathe Right strips afix to the bridge of your nose and gently attempt to straighten, opening your nasal pasage. I have seen complaints that this tickles, but if you have that problem, you are likely wearing the wrong size.
If you snore, the intensity of that snoring will be greatly reduced or eliminated altogether.
If you wake up with morning headaches (or achey brain, as I like to call it)because of trouble breathing, you will learn what it feels like to wake up supercharged and alert.
If you wake up with dry mouth, or get sore throats every year because of nightime mouth-breathing, PROBLEM-SOLVED!
I come from a family that has all of these issues because of our small nasal passages. Some family members have even had surgery to correct it, to dissapointing results.
Listen and believe. Breathe Right strips ended this problem for me!
All I can tell you is, if you have this problem, you MUST try this product right-away. Take it from someone who knows what a terrible chain-reaction poor breathing can spark!

I've been a nose drop addict for most of my life. No allergies or hay fever...just congestion when I lie down. 15 years ago, I had a rhinoplasty that seemed to have corrected the problem, but the effect only lasted a couple years. Since then, I haven't gone to sleep with out a hit of Afrin at bedtime. Recently, I've had to increase use of this 12 hour product (that you're not supposed to take for more than 3 days) to several times a day for congestion as well as during the night. This is considered a 'rebound' effect. Like any addictive drug,the more you use,the more you have to use to get the desired relief. A few weeks ago I began to notice blood when I blew my nose and got very concerned.
My husband has used Breath Right strips since they first came out for snoring (they proved about 75% effective...he still snores if he sleeps on his back)and suggested I try them for the congestion. The reason I was reluctant is because the bridge of my nose has been rebuilt from cartiledge and the skin is very thin, so I was worried about the agressive nature of the adhesive pressing the strip into my nose. But I was desperate to kick the nose drop habit, so I finally gave the BRs a try. So far, so good! Its been almost a week and I haven't had to use any nose spray at all in my left nostril, and am down to one little drop in my right nostril before bedtime...as opposed to using the spray 4 times a day! I put the strip slightly lower than is recommended, over the fleshier part of my nose, and they still seem to work fine. No more blood...and no runny nose like I used to have from using so much nose spray! Hopefully, I'll eventually not even need that one drop I'm down to.
I take them off in the shower, to minimize the pulling on the skin. When I run out of the tan, I might try the clear ones that have a less agressive adhesive. I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because of the price and because they were less than 100% effective in stopping my husband's snoring (but still a major improvement). If I can permantly break the nose spray habit and reverse any damage done to my breathing passages, the cost will be well worth it.
