SleepRight Nasal Breathe Aid – Comfortable Nasal Dilator for Better Breathing, Snore Stopper & Airflow Relief, Easy to Use for Sleep or Daily Wear, 1 Count, 20-Day

These are just painful. There is a hard plastic in the middle. I've had other ones that I was looking for and never found, that were just silicone. I tried these instead but I can't use them.

I discovered nasal strips helped prevent my morning sinus blockage and headaches. I decided to look for something I could wear more discreetly during the day. I ended up trying virtually every one of these type of products, and the clear winner, by far is the SleepRight aid. Primarily, it holds my nasal passages open more fully than any of the other insertable aids or the adhesive nasal strips. It turns out I have enlarged nasal turbinates and a deviated septum. So the cone-style aids are unbearably uncomfortable. Also, their design restricts the airflow much more than the SleepRight. SleepRight conforms individually to each nostril. As I look in the mirror, the difference in size and shape of my nasal openings is remarkable. As for comfort, I wear mine in the "W" configuration normally. After placing it, I wiggle it a little - it kind of seeks its own optimal position. I'm normally not conscious of it, but sometimes, if I scratch my nose or bump the center piece repeatedly, it might become a bit uncomfortable. I then either turn it upside down, which is slightly less effective, or just leave it out for an hour or so. The main discomfort comes from where the middle part pinches the septum. My nose actually got raw for the first few days, but I think that was mostly from fussing with it. I currently have 4 SleepRight units; I've used an emery board to file down the inside part of the "clip" on two of them - it's easy to see the fairly sharp edge. I wear these during the day; they're much more comfortable. At night I wear the ones that have not been filed - these have yet to fall off while sleeping, while the modified ones have. Just put it in when you go to bed and don't fuss with it. After a few days, you won't even notice it. I even sleep on my side with it. As for "discreet" - none of these products is discreet. I was able to modify one of the cone style with thread or a tiny strip cut from a band-aid, but they hurt so much that it was pointless. This one looks like I'm wearing a little flesh-colored nose ring. I've caught myself having conversations with several people and later realizing that I was still wearing it. Normally I stuff it in my pocket if appearance matters. It comes with a great little case. I'm hoping the manufacturer can offer a modified version that doesn't stand out so far (1/4") from my septum. Outstanding product!

It opens the breathing passages well, but wearing it hurts. I can only use it for a couple nights, then switch to another product for the next week or so.

This is the first style of in-nose style of clip that I've tried. I've used strips on numerous occasions, but wanted to give this a shot, since the strips are fairly expensive and I hate the waste of throwing them out each night. The first night I tried them, they seemed to work as effectively as a strip, perhaps even a bit better. However, the bridge of the clip was incredibly uncomfortable and pinched my nasal septum. I tried inserting them both up and down, but it had no effect on the comfort. The next morning, I woke up to a very sore nose, which lasted the entire day. I tried it again 2 nights later, but my nose was still irritated and so it was just that much worse. I also found that if you have allergies which cause your nose to run, you can't blow it with this thing in. Having to remove it is a pain and irritated my nose even more. I'm sure this works well for some, but I can't personally recommend it, as much as I wanted to like it.

This was a gift but I understand that it works fine.

This little winged insert makes all the difference in my quality of sleep. I have a deviated septum that hinders air floor when laying down. I can’t properly breath through my nose but with this device, breathing is a breeze!!! I’ve used one like this for a long time now and it was time for replacement. This is the same that I’m used to, but when I first put it in, it was somewhat uncomfortable, couldn’t keep it in all night. I kept trying and now it’s perfect, just had to ‘break it in’. I don’t even feel it anymore, just getting all the air I need. Very good product and I’m a happy sleeper!

this product fails on all counts - didn't fit well, hurt my nose, didn't solve the problem that well etc. I even cut it in half at the nose clip to see it each half separately would work better - nope. So I threw it out after about 5 tries

After getting bruising from nasal strips I decided to try the best option. While I did get a lot of airflow from them and my breathing and snoring were better, they lasted barely 2 weeks, were painful and hard to get in. I actually risked the bruising a few times because I just didn’t want to deal with the irritation. I just ordered the cone shaped inserts and they are amazing after struggling with this product. Not only was this product uncomfortable, but I had nose bleeds in the area it pinched and I felt it wasn’t worth the benefit.
