What do folks think about Nasal Pass?

I tape my mouth and then my nose holes close up
in the middle of the night.

I don't see any benefit if you use nasal pillows. However, if you use a nose
"covering" type of mask (Activa, CL2 Simple Cushion, etc) it will probably help, but so do Breathe Rite Strips.

I would not stick anything in my nose without medical advice and direction. I just wouldn't.

Have you seen an Ear Nose and Throat physician (ENT)? Do you use a saline irrigation? When I need it, it works for me. When I first started on therapy back in January one or the other of my nasal passage would close almost immediately. Now, with humidification and generic Flonase I rarely have closures and then one side only late in the night and they do not seem to affect my therapy.

Good Luck

Looks to me like a completely harmless and possibly helpful thing.

I'm with Snoozin'!
I would never use such a device without medical supervision.
(Even then, don't know that I could tolerate it! )

Just watch out what you are aiming at when you sneeze!
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Folks, I must admit that I've been wanting something like this for a long time!
In addition to narrow nasal passages, I have some scar tissue on one side due to surgery.
The company offers a medium and large for one price. I've inquired as to the size of the medium, and WHY they don't have a "small".

IF I follow through with this, I'll let you-all know...still thinking about it. Sure don't want the ends of my nose to look like basketballs in the mornings!!! Or stretch marks !

They are afraid you might inhale it if they make it too small...

LOL

I was wondering about that also, but they stress NOT to separate the two "spheres".
...could be to avoid liability in case a child got ahold of one?
No reply to email that has been read though!
