Nose Vent Sinus Relief Dilator (Pack of 12 XL Size) Soft Vents - A Simple Solution for Nasal Snorers - Reusable Snoring Device to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep - by Mobi Lock

These nasal dilators work great! They appear to be real silicone as they pass the pinch and twist test to see if they turn white, which would indicate fillers used in them. I use these for exercising and sleeping. They work great for both! They can come out a little at times, but I just push them back in. The little nubs on the edge are supposed to point forwards and fit into the end of your nose to help hold them in place. You will want probably a size larger than you think. I don't have that large of a nose, but I ended up with a medium. I tried a small and it was just too small. I thought the medium was too big, but it was just right, really helps me breathe. My septum is crooked, and I'm working on tongue posture to fix that. Tongue posture affects your face structure, and improper tongue posture creates sleep apnea over time as it narrows your breathing room behind your sinuses essentially. Your tongue should be stored in the roof of your mouth, touching all along the roof of your mouth. This pressure helps expand your dental arch, creating room for all your teeth without crowding, and pushing your front of your face forward slightly which creates room for breathing. There are dentists now who use devices to fix this, such as the Myobrace and Vivos. Mewing is a popular thing on YouTube which got its name from Dr. Mew who has brought attention to proper tongue posture. I used to keep my tongue in the bottom of my mouth and only corrected it in the last couple months. However, there is much more room in the roof of my mouth than when I started already, and it feels natural to have my tongue up there, whereas when I started it felt totally weird and cramped. Your bone is constantly remodeling, it is not static, so these changes are definitely possible. I'm hopeful someday I won't even need these nasal dilators. One more thing, it is important to breathe through your nose because you get nitric oxide that way. Any time you can breathe through your nose, you should breathe through your nose. Sleeping and exercising especially. Keeping your mouth closed while sleeping can be tough though. I have to switch to a thinner pillow to accomplish this. Some people use mouth tape or a chin strap, I tried both but they interrupted my sleep a lot, so I went the less pillow route. I wake up much more refreshed when I keep my mouth shut at night, when before I used to wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck! Good luck!!

These have a little bigger ridges than the other ones I tried but they seem to stay in a little better I got the medium ones now there is a little point sticking on one side which is a little uncomfortable but turn them around swapping nostrils and they are more comfortable. I don’t know about snoring but my throat is not dry or sore the next morning so it does help. Also my blood oxygen was running in the 80’s a lot of the time and wearing these even in the daytime my my oxygen goes up to 92 to 96 which is great also I find waring them for a couple of days my nose stays open for a couple of days before it starts closing down again so you really only need to use them a few days a week. I liked the tape nose openers when they first came out but they would tear the skin off my nose so I couldn’t use them after a short time but these don’t create any problems that I’ve seen they also work with my CPAC machine which does dry out my nose and the pressure gets uncomfortable from time to time and I have to take it off but use these nose tubes to fall back on which work great not the same but they do help me breathe a lot better even without the CPAC. And even working out during the day or things like splitting wood with a axe these help make a big difference even walking I’ve found they make a big difference. I was shocked trying these in the daytime at how much better I could breathe and like I said after using a day or two or just nights my nose stayed open for a day or two afterwards. Give them a try it’s amazing what a little extra air can do sleeping or even at the gym. The tape nose openers started in the 80 for athletes but sweating and tearing off my skin is why I gave them up but that’s not a problem with these they don’t look that bad and are hardly noticeable. Give them a try I think you’ll love them

I think these are very helpful . I have an issue with me left nostril and it helps my breathing . Just uncomfortable to have in but each person is different

I suggest wearing these all of the time at first to get desensitized to their scratchy presence. They are NOT AT ALL made of " SOFT" SILICONE but are instead made of rigid plastic like silicone. They work superb to oen the nostrils but you will need to get accustomed to them. Imagine sticking 2 plastic sewing thimbles whose ends have been opened, up your nose...get the picture?

The product is not made of medical grade silicone, so it is extremely hard. The small loop that sits on the outside of your nose between your nostrils is pictured as being round, but it's not round, it's square and hard also. The insertion into your nose is fine if you use a small amount of lubricant like Vaseline, but due to how hard the plastic is it rubbed the inside of my nose raw. I do not recommend this product. Buy the Carecog brand- it's made of medical grade silicone and the price can't be beat!
