Airmax Sport Nasal Dilator Trial Pack | 76% More Airflow | Boost Oxygen for Sports, Running, Cycling & Yoga | Nasal Strips Alternative for Better Breathing & Anti-Snoring

Very happy with the purchase, as a result I have found the size that fits, plus the product does exactly what it is intended for.

I have found the medium size to be fairly good at dilating my nostrils, but this then caused dryness inside the nose, and when I blew my nose it bled a little because of this.Mentioned it in passing to my GP, who said the broken blood vessels and soreness are due to the enforced dryness at night, caused by opening up your nostrils with two bits of silicone, which makes sense. She advised using a smidge of good old Vaseline on the sore spots (mine are generally on my septum) during the day. You can’t do this at night because the device is far more likely to slide out!I bought the sports ones as they were the n cheaper than the non-sport version. The only difference I can discern is that the sports versions have a little protuberance on each leg, which to me looks like an extra security-in-the-nose type of thing.I’m female, with a normal sized female nose, not huge, not tiny. The small did nothing. I’ve used the medium one almost constantly since I bought it. It’s lasted me a lot longer than the stipulated 3 months. I bought around 9 months ago. It’s still in one piece, but it has become less rigid than it was, and it’s getting harder to place it correctly to open up my snorey nostrils - I get a lot of sinusitis and a bunged-up-feeling nose (swelling from inflammation) which then means I reflexively open my mouth to breathe in my sleep. When my nostrils are sufficiently dilated, my mouth stays closed and I don’t snore.Be aware that if you snore ONLY from your throat, and it isn’t related to you opening your mouth to compensate for a blocked nose, then these prob won’t work. But they DO work for nose snorers!But they are stupidly expensive.

I have a deviated septum so I thought I'd give these a try.The transparent one (medium)was to large kept slipping down and the blue one(small) was making my nostril sore,I tried for a week but they made no difference to my nostrils and I was still suffering with nasal congestion.It might work for some but didn't for me, unfortunately I cannot send back as they have been used.

I bought this predominately for sleeping, although did use it once or twice for exercising.Overall for sleeping, the device worked really well for the first week, but after that first week it has been mixed with some nights not snoring and other nights the device appears to have no effect. I find it also moves out of place sometimes during the night. The prongs to hold it in place hurt my nose and leave a small wound meaning I cannot wear it for a few nights.For exercising, it is not worth it. I couldn’t get it to stay in the best place for breathing. It kept slipping out of place and in the end I took it out mid-run. I could feel a difference in airflow when running but it was not worth the hassle.I would give it a 2.5/5.

Work really well and are comfortable

I found these hurt if kept in over night not very soft

Dear Mouth Breathers,I can not recommend this product enough for people with enlarged (or narrowed) inferior turbinates, although it is for a somewhat niche market they have absolutely nailed it!I have tried several different nasal dilators: the cage tubes, clips, strips etc. The tube/cage type ones hurt your nose lining and don’t stay in, the strips are fine for general use and sleeping but they are quite wasteful and they come off when you sweat. These ones are right on the money! Comfortable and reusable!Getting them to sit up past your turbinates takes some practice and wiggling to get them situated. They work best for me when pulled towards the tip of the nose but once they are seated you will feel strong like a Viking Warrior!I think the reason for a lot of the negative reviews is people are either using them to try and treat a nasal issue which these aren’t designed for or they aren’t aware of the structure of the nose and are therefore not getting them past the inferior turbinates. These essentially pin back the lower inferior turbinates to induce normal airflow as such they won’t help if you have issues further up in the nasal cavity.If it helps at all I am a 6ft tall 87kg athletic build male with an average size (but narrow) nose and the small clip works perfectly. The medium makes my nose look and feel like a wind tunnel... woooosh!!!I went with the Airmax Sport because they have the little septum clips to stop it sliding out when running and jumping (may also function as a guide for depth setting to check they are in far enough!) Although they can be a little uncomfortable at first you soon get used to them and the benefits are incredible! I genuinely feel like a different person while training now that I can consistently nasal breath.Plus now I know what I would look like if I got a septum piercing - BONUS!Yours faithfully,Ex-mouth breatherP.S. - For more breathing info look up James Nestor. His TED talk is an excellent place to start.

Good for what it does, when running I tend to let my nose get congested before putting them in, after a while nose gets used to them however and are less effective.
