How To Use

Thirty seconds before bed. That's the whole routine.

Strips open the nose. Tape keeps it nasal. Here's how to get a full night's grip out of both.

Nasal strips

One strip per night, across the bridge of your nose.

  1. Clean and dry your nose. Wash off any oils, moisturiser or sunscreen and pat dry — the adhesive grips skin, not skincare. Easiest after a shower.
  2. Peel off the backing. Hold the strip by the ends so you don't touch the sticky side more than you need to.
  3. Place it low across the bridge. Just above the flare of your nostrils, where the soft part of your nose begins — not up on the bone. If you can wiggle your nostrils and feel the strip pull, it's in the right spot.
  4. Press for ten seconds. Run your fingers along the whole strip so it bonds properly. You should feel your nostrils gently lift open.
  5. Remove gently in the morning. Peel slowly from one end, ideally in the shower or with warm water. Don't rip it off dry.

Mouth tape

One tape per night, gently over closed lips.

  1. Test your nose first. Close your mouth and take ten easy breaths through your nose. Comfortable? You're ready to tape. Blocked nose tonight? Skip the tape and just wear a strip.
  2. Dry lips, relaxed jaw. Lips clean and balm-free, jaw resting naturally — you're sealing your lips together, not clamping your mouth shut.
  3. Press it on over closed lips. Centre the tape and press gently. It peels off easily in the morning, beard and all. First time? Wear it for 20 minutes on the couch first — by bedtime you'll forget it's there.
  4. Sleep, then peel slowly from one corner. Quieter nights and no dry mouth are the sign it's working.

Do

  • Use a fresh strip and tape every night — they're single-use
  • Apply to clean, dry, product-free skin
  • Give it 3–5 nights — nasal breathing is a habit your body relearns
  • Wear strips for training too — they're sweat-proof
  • Remove gently with warm water

Don't

  • Tape with a blocked nose, after a big night, or if you have a diagnosed breathing condition — check with your GP if unsure
  • Apply over moisturiser, sunscreen or lip balm
  • Place the strip high on the bony part of your nose
  • Rip either off dry in the morning
  • Reuse strips or tape — the adhesive is done after one night
