Q & A

How long can I wear a nasal strip?
Réspirer Nasal Strips are designed to be worn for up to 12 hours. Their extra sticky sweat resistant grip allows to stay on all night and during your workouts. However, they should be removed after each use and are not reusable. Prolonged wear beyond 12 hours isn’t recommended, as it may irritate the skin.

Can I use nasal strips every night?
Yes, nasal strips are safe for daily and long-term use. Many users apply them nightly to improve sleep quality or reduce snoring. If you notice any skin irritation, try alternating application spots slightly or take occasional breaks to give your skin time to recover.

Can I wear nasal strips while exercising or running?
Yes! Many athletes use Réspirer Nasal Strips to maximize airflow during workouts, especially during cardio-intensive activities like running, cycling, or high-intensity training. Make sure the strip is firmly applied, and your skin is dry before exercising to ensure it stays on.

Do nasal strips help with sleep apnea?
No, they are not a treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Sleep apnea is a serious condition that requires medical evaluation and possibly CPAP therapy or other interventions. If you suspect sleep apnea, consult a sleep specialist.

How do nasal strips work?
Nasal Strips work through spring tension and adhesion. When you press it across the bridge of your nose, the adhesive holds it down firmly. The inside splints are pre-curved to be flatter than the shape of your nose. Once applied, they try to spring back to that flatter shape. This spring-back force gently pulls the skin on either side of your nose upward and outward. This widens the nasal valves, reducing airflow resistance and making breathing easier.

Will nasal strips damage my skin?
Nasal strips are generally safe and gentle, but irritation can occur, especially with sensitive or acne-prone skin. To minimize risk, avoid applying over sunburn, acne, or broken skin. Remove slowly and gently by moistening the strip with warm water.
