SleepRight Sport Intra-Nasal Breathe Aids Breathing Aids for Sports Nasal Dilator for Athletes

Updated Review:After wearing these for a while, I felt that it was fair to update my review and add more stars. While these did hurt my nose and leave big sores and scabs (I found a trick) with the sores in my nose, these were still the best and so I kept using them. They have been hands down the best that I've found to actually open my nasal passages enough to breathe at night. What I ended up doing was putting some triple antibiotic ointment up my nose (for the sores) but, in turn found that by doing so they no longer hurt my nose with the ability to slide as I move around at night. They stay in place but, don't grab your sensitive skin. You could use Vaseline along with these and you will not have any discomfort at all and even better, you'll be able to breathe!!! Based on this little addition to my nightly routine, I now highly recommend these!Original review:Works great but, makes my nose hurt and I get huge sores in my nose.

I use the silicone ones and there hard to find. This has worked well and not iritate my nasal skin .

I love the idea and functionality of this product. I’m fact, I have purchased several of the original ones, and now have 4 packs of the sport (8 total, as they come 2/pack). They work better than breathe right strips when I run, and I even occasionally use them at bedtime as well, but the area that “hugs” the septum starts to feel sharp after too many uses. I have taken time off and come back to them, but it’s always the same. After maybe 3-4 days of use during runs and at bedtime, I end up with a very tender septum, and am forced to take several days off for it to heal again. The rubber is soft to the touch, so I don’t know why it happens, but it always does… for the last several years of use. I haven’t found anything as effective, but I’m hoping that they’ll figure out how/why it digs into the inner nose. I really mostly love these, but I end up feeling anxious, knowing that I’m going to need to spend several days without them, snoring and mouth breathing during runs. Hopefully someone will make a small adjustment to the contact pony on the septum because that would make these the absolute perfect solution. I can nose breathe while running (which means I get less thirsty and don’t experience a dry scratchy throat from long runs), and my wife doesn’t complain about my snoring when I use them.Just a small tweak would perfect these… or is there something I can do to personalize them? I’m open to suggestions. Even still, if nothing changed, I appreciate the time I get. Having gotten deviated septum surgery already, and still suffers from collapsing nostrils, these things are life changing, truly!!

The sports version was more readily available to ship in prime when I ordered so I thought I’d give them a try! Since the difference between this version and the nighttime version wasn’t explained well (not at all) in the description or the packaging I figured there would not be much difference. I was definitely wrong! These feel slightly larger and the plastic is more stiff making it less comfortable for a night’s sleep. They slip out of my nose more easily because of the decrease in flexibility and what seems to be a size increase but that could just be the stiffness. These are tough and do work well for short periods so I’d say they do their intended job if used for exercise and sports, but my 3.5 stars comes from the manufacturer’s lack of clarity on the difference between their product offerings.

I’ve been using these for about 8 years now and they’re great! They’re a bit stiff when they’re new and can sorta pinch my nose the first few nights, but you get used to adjusting them when needed. They soften up over time.
