Alternative to Breath Rite Strips?

Hubby uses them, (Breathe Right strips), and swears by their effectiveness.
Unfortunately, they sometimes hurt his nose, so he has to stop and allow his "beak" to heal.
I use them with Zyrtek spray when a bad cold stops my nose up completely.

Try not to peel the skin off your nose when you remove it. Overall, it is as useless as MY PILLOW.

or your head.

I was tempted, but, decided to bite my tongue instead.

Too easy, guys.
Avi is such a big target; and he moves so slow.

Has he tried the clear strips or the advanced strips? I had the same peeling problems with the tan cloth strips, different adhesive apparently.

He has tried a variety--all would hurt at some point.
The generics do not work, just so you know.

ST, good question about where the evidence is for the claims of this company regarding this product. This obviously proves nothing but out of curiosity, I pulled my cheeks apart from my nostrils and my nasal breathing did seem improved. Who knows.

DS, even after my septoplasty last year, I was unable to wear nasal pillows and unfortunately, my nasal issues have gotten worse in spite of trying all the usual remedies like nasal rinsing. But I am happy for the folks for whom they work.

In response to the comments as to whether Breath Rite Strips are a scam, I definitely don't think they are. I would say when I wore them previously, they gave me moderate improvement with nasal congestion issues at night. Since I wasn't sure how much they were really helping, I have taken a break from wearing them as I wanted to try the nasal extender that I have a money back guarantee on. But I think they may be worth revisiting.
