Intake Breathing Magnetic Nasal Strips Starter Kit (30 Count, Black) - Boost Oxygen Intake, Reduce Snoring, Improve Sleep Quality - Sweat Resistant, Nasal Strips - Extra Strength Snoring Solution

These magnetic nasal strips work better than standard strips. They stay on all night, feel comfortable, and noticeably improve airflow. My breathing felt more open, and my snoring was reduced after just a few uses. Easy to apply, no skin irritation, and definitely worth the price for the results

I've tried a lot of alternatives to this - both the various 'strips' that apply directly to your nose as well as the inserts that are supposed to open up your nasal passages. Given the design and ads pushed to me, I figured this was at least worth a try. First and foremost - this WORKS REALLY WELL! I sleep more sound as my nasal passages stay open and uncongested through the entire night. When I wake up in the morning I find I am still able to breath very clearly and fully through my nose. This also prevents the dry mouth and throat (as well as coughing) that would develop through the night without this. My wife has also told me that I snore much less now as well and I no longer wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I need to catch my breath. Once you get the hang of attaching the small adhesive tabs to your nose, they apply very quickly and easily (it takes a little practice). It's key to ensure the sides of your nose are clean and without oils. I apply them right after washing my face before applying any moisturizer or other product. Directions for use are included as videos that you can scan directly on your phone - make sure you pay attention for how to select the right 'spreader' - bigger is not better and you want to select the most appropriate size. Removing the adhesive tabs int he morning is simply once you get the hang of it. Washing with warm water helps and the residue from the adhesive washes off easily. Refills are reasonably priced if you buy in bulk and select the subscription option on Amazon.

I received the Intake Breathing Magnetic Nasal Strips Starter Kit about 10 days ago and have been using them most days since. Bottom line, when you get them just right. . .they work really well to open up the nasal passage. I seem to be able to sleep for longer periods of time at night when wearing them. I don't know if they have affected my snoring but they definitely help me breathe through my nose. The reason for only 4 stars, is that getting them on in the correct place and keeping them on is a SIGNIFICANT challenge for me. Just getting the non-adhesive backing off each adhesive magnet seems way more difficult than it should be. There is no pull tab or area to "peel here" that is designed to avoid potential skin contact with the adhesive. Contact with skin on the adhesive prior to putting them on the nose can cause them to fold over on themselves or reduce their potential "stickiness". When they say to thoroughly wash the area where the adhesive magnets are to go with soap and water, they aren't exaggerating. If I don't, the adhesive seems to fail shortly after application. If I scrunch up my nose while wearing the nasal strip, that sometimes loosens the adhesive. The adhesive often comes off while I sleep. BUT, I want to stress, when I get the placement right (or at least close) and the adhesive holds. . .they work AMAZINGLY for me. I'm hoping it will just take more practice to figure out what soap/alcohol wipes work best to prepare the nose for adhesion, be able to effectively remove them from the adhesive backing without compromising the adhesive, identify exactly where they should be placed, and consistently place them in the correct location for my nose. It's helpful that the starter kit comes with four different sized bands. I'm still trying to figure out which one(s) work best for me. In my case, I don't think my nose/inner nostrils are symmetrical which leads me to place the magnets in slightly different places for each nostril for full effect. . .but that can make it difficult for the band/adhesive to hold. It kind of seems like I can usually get much better intake in one nostril but not so much both at the same time. The plastic bands work okay with my glasses. Sometimes the glasses rub against the band and it's a minor annoyance (not sure if that loosens the adhesive). There's also the price for refill adhesive magnets. They're not cheap. I've also had to throw some away shortly after initial application as I placed them in the wrong location or the adhesive didn't stick. That's a waste, as it throwing them out after one use (even if successful).

I found out about intake through an instagram ad and thought it looked fantastic so I purchased it just to try it out. 20 dollars seemed reasonable, and I would say even for that price, this thing is pretty worth it. In terms of the product itself, it does everything it claims to do, it opens up my airway fantastically. The quality is great, the plastic is not cheap feeling, the magnetic applicator is actually very handy, makes it easy to apply, and it includes sizing for almost any nose size. The stickers themselves work great, and so long as you clean your nose beforehand, they won’t start to come off until you wear them longer than 24hrs. If I was rating based on the product itself, I’d give a perfect review. I like to wear mine before bed, which drastically improves my sleep quality. I’ve also worn it to the gym a few times which was amazing, but I’m not brave enough to show up with it on every day lol. Any situation where you need to open up your airways works great with this. Sometimes if I’m gonna be working from home, I’ll just stick it on the morning and leave it on all day! Positives aside, when I ran out of the adhesive magnets, I went and checked the price of the refills. Intake wants to charge $30 for 30 stickers. I don’t know how you can justify charging a dollar for a bandaid with a tiny magnet in it. Mind you, without those, the product is completely unusable. Since I didn’t want to pay the equivalent of 2 Prime memberships every month to continue using my nose strip, I went online to do some research to see if maybe there was a DIY solution or way to reuse the stickers… Turns out, I discovered THIS EXACT PRODUCT is on aliexpress, sold by the actual manufacturer for $2 dollars (for the same starter pack kit). Not a knockoff version, the exact same product. I have both kits now and besides packaging, the two products are literally indistinguishable. Same logo, same materials, same sizing, even the swirling pattern on the magnetic applicator is the same. Not only that, but the refill sticker packs cost $7 for 100 count… basically, intake is selling you a product that they didn't actually invent, don’t actually make, putting their own branding and charging you 10x markup for the kit and 15x markup for refills. So while I absolutely love the product, I can’t help but feeling like I’ve been duped into participating in someone’s get rich quick scheme by buying from Intake. I honestly wouldn’t even fault them if they sold it for a less ridiculous markup, since at least you have the convenience of avoiding international shipping and having prime overnight. But in my mind, selling a $0.07 sticker for 1 dollar is totally unjustified. Rating 3 stars, because despite the drop shipping scam, the product itself is perfect. If it weren’t for intake’s shady business model, I would have rated 5 stars.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I'm an overweight woman in my late thirties and--well, I snore. I go to bed first at night, so I was keeping my husband awake. I didn't know for months--and I love him for trying to be so polite about it at first--but I was determined to find a solution that would work out a little quicker than a few months of getting back into the gym. BreatheRight strips! They were... challenging. Where I lack dedication for fitness, I'm an avid follower of a nightly skincare routine--and that means a lot of moisture on my face. Including my nose. Know what you can't do when you're using BreatheRight strips? Have any moisture on your nose. Those strips will slide right off, even the Extra Strength ones. And they left some pretty gross residue. I really hated them, even though they had some lavender ones that smelled nice. I was really skeptical about Intake, like most things I see first on Facebook ads. Amazon is a great safety net for returns though, so for $40 I bought it. Watched the little video in the QR code that explains how you pick the right size band for your nose, and how to attach the nasal strips to your face. I was a little bummed when the directions explained that you should make sure your nose is pretty dry--so I dutifully followed my BreatheRight routine of making my nose a desert of moisture before applying the strips and the band. And they worked! My husband said he didn't hear my snoring for the next few nights. But I was still back where I started. Sure, Intake got the job done like BreatheRight strips on a parched nose, but they're also more expensive despite less gross residue. BreatheRight strips are about $0.37 vs Intake's $1.05 per night. There wasn't really a point to spending almost 3x more over the residue since I shower right after taking them off anyway... unless I could wear them over my skincare. So I tried--after cleansing, toning, a serum, and a generous night cream, I put it all on. And the Intake strips and band stayed perfectly in place over my stupid oily nose. Instant joy. I had to ask my husband a few times over the next few nights if I snored--maybe Intake was less effective with the skincare under it? But no, no noise. And everything was firmly in place in the morning. Awesome. Intake is going to cost me $1.05 a night--or $31.50 per month. That might be a hefty price tag, but it's one I can afford. Amazon Prime Days are coming up, so fingers crossed for a sale. It's worth it for my husband's comfort--and mine.

My husband has been gently (but persistently) waking me up for years because my snoring or "funny breathing" sounds like I'm struggling to get air—super annoying for both of us! I've tried regular nasal strips before with mixed results, but I kept seeing Intake Breathing's magnetic nasal strips and finally gave them a try. The starter kit comes with 4 different sizes of the reusable relief bands (so you can find the perfect fit) and a 15-day supply of the magnetic tabs/stickers. The setup is clever: you apply the small adhesive tabs to each side of your nose, then the magnetic band clicks right on and gently pulls your nostrils open wider than anything I've used before. No bridge pressure, no slipping off during the night, and it feels surprisingly comfortable. The very first night using it, I slept like a rock—the best sleep I've had in ages. My husband hasn't had to nudge me awake even once in over a week now, and I wake up feeling actually refreshed and energized instead of groggy. It's made such a noticeable difference in my breathing and overall rest quality. Bonus: it's sweat-resistant and stays put all night. If your partner complains about your snoring or you feel like you're not breathing freely at night, this is worth trying. It's a bit different from traditional strips, but the magnetic system really works for me. Highly recommend—keeping this in our bedtime routine from now on!

Short version: they work as advertised, magnets are very strong, sticky pads stay on much longer than expected and i have sensitive skin and have worn these 18 hours a day for over a month with no damage to my nose. Very good quality but still very overpriced. If they were more reasonably priced would have been an extremely easy 5 star Long version: I have a deviated septum so these were very appealing, especially for sleep because normally I have like 40% of one nostril to breath out of always. Wearing these gives me 100% in one nostril and about 30-80% on the other, big improvement. My sleep has gotten better and when I’m congested it clears up. As some have said in other reviews you can just order the same thing on various cheaper Chinese websites like AliExpress, while this is true they do not come anywhere near the quality. I ordered 4 different starter kits and tried them all, all 4 have very weak magnets that will just fall off and the sticky pads are a different material that are much more uncomfortable and do not stick at all, stick to the paper they come on, or fall off very quickly. While they are much more affordable it’s for the most part a waste of money. Their sticky pads with intakes bands are semi viable. With all of that good being said, the price point is still egregious, especially for what it is. They are capitalizing on 0 competition and a great idea executed well. If you don’t mind the price it’s a no brainer purchase, if you mind the price either wait for competition to bring down the prices or get the starter kit and buy the sticky pads elsewhere.

I purchase the breathing strips to improve my nighttime breathing, and I have been very pleased with the results so far. The magnetic system is well designed and noticeably more secure than traditional adhesive nasal strips. Once applied, it will stay in place throughout the night without slipping or losing effectiveness if applied correctly. The started kit includes everything you need to get started and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The nasal bands are comfortable to wear and do not irritate my skin even after several hours of use. I do have sensitive skin, I react to most adhesives and I have worn this for three nights and no reactions so far. I noticed improved airflow immediately which helped me breathe more easily while sleeping. Overall, this is a high-quality product that feels durable and thoughtfully designed. I got the clear colored ones. They are pretty light weight. While it is more expensive than standard nasal strips, the comfort, reusability, and performance make it worth the investment. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a reliable alternative to disposable nasal strips.
