Breathe Right Nasal Strips offer a non-medicated, adhesive external nasal dilator designed to help open nasal passages, reduce breathing resistance and improve airflow for people with nasal congestion, snoring and sleep disturbances. Ideal for use during rest, sport or everyday breathing relief, this range of nasal strips is available to buy online at Welzo and can complement other solutions such as nasal sprays, allergy relief kits and travel-friendly breathing aids.
What are Breathe Right Nasal Strips?
Breathe Right nasal strips are adhesive bands embedded with flexible springs that stick across the bridge of the nose and flare of the nostrils, gently pulling the nasal passages outward to widen the airway. This physical dilation reduces resistance to airflow and can help with symptoms of nasal congestion, mouth-breathing, snoring or reduced airflow during rest or exercise. The mechanism is well-described in research on external nasal dilators.
Benefits and Features of the Welzo Breathe Right Collection
- Instant external dilation of nasal passages without drugs or sprays.
- Helps reduce nasal resistance and may ease symptoms of snoring or congested breathing, based on controlled trials.
- Different formats for normal skin, sensitive skin, extra-strength or small/medium sizes to suit user needs.
- Convenient for travel, work or sleep — great for pairing with portable devices like travel humidifiers or CPAP cleaning kits from our broader all health tests range.
- A physical option to complement treatments for allergy, sinus or nasal-valve issues (see our allergy eye drops and antiseptic nasal sprays collections).
- Popular among people looking for non-pharmacologic, OTC breathing support rather than relying on medication alone.
Why is Breathe Right Important?
Chronic nasal congestion, airflow restriction and snoring are common issues that can impair sleep quality, daytime alertness and even productivity. Studies show that external nasal dilator strips like Breathe Right can lead to subjective improvements in breathing comfort and sleep satisfaction. For users seeking everyday breathing relief without systemic medications, the Breathe Right collection fills an important niche, offering a practical aid that meshes with wider respiratory wellness regimes—such as the travel-friendly mobility lifestyle covered by our mobility aids section when users combine breathing comfort with active living.
How to Use Breathe Right Nasal Strips
- Clean and dry the outside of the nose bridge and nostril flares before application.
- Peel off the backing and apply the strip across the bridge of the nose so the spring bands lay just above each nostril; press down firmly to adhere.
- Use during night-time sleep, daytime rest or activities where nasal breathing is impeded (e.g., heavy allergy season, travel, exercise).
- When you wake or finish the activity, remove the strip gently and clean any adhesive residue from skin.

FAQs
Do Breathe Right nasal strips really work?
Yes, for many people they meaningfully improve nasal airflow and reduce snoring or mouth-breathing by mechanically widening the nostrils, though results vary and they don’t treat underlying sleep-apnoea conditions.
Can I use nasal strips if I have allergies?
Yes—nasal strips are often used in combination with nasal sprays and antihistamines to improve nasal breathing when congestion is caused by hay-fever or allergic rhinitis.
Are nasal strips safe for children?
Many manufacturers offer smaller sizes (eg. S/M) for younger users. Always check age guidance and skin sensitivity—adhesive skins may cause irritation in some children.
Can I exercise with a nasal strip on?
Yes—some users wear nasal strips during physical activity, especially if they feel nasal resistance during running or other exertion. However, they are not a substitute for breathing issues requiring clinical assessment.
How long does a nasal strip last after application?
Typically one-night or one-use only. Adhesion varies based on skin moisture and activity. For travel or multi-night use, keep spare strips on hand.
Can nasal strips cure snoring?
Not always. While they can reduce snoring related to nasal obstruction, if the cause is deeper (e.g., obstructive sleep apnoea, throat vibration) additional treatment may be needed.
