I received a free sample of these and used them recently when I was sick with a cold. I found them to work well however they were uncomfortable at first until I fell asleep.

I have not received any breakouts from the strip itself either.

These worked great for both my boyfriend and myself as we are both heavy snorers. The only downfall is pulling them off in the morning--a bit like ripping a band-aid off. Overall I would purchase them again as they do leave you feeling open and calm when you wake in the AM!

Both my husband and I have tried these- with mixed results. However, that was probably due to the reasons that we tried them.

For my husband (who snores like a chainsaw), they really didn't so enough to reduce the snoring to a more manageable level (which is why we had bought them for him). Needless to say, they got relegated to the top shelf of the medicine cabinet and forgotten. Was not happy about that since I think they were quite pricey at the time- especially since, for him, they weren't going to be used.

Fast forward a few years and I got some as samples on a recent trip. I finally got around to using them one night when I was slightly congested- hoping to be able to breathe so that I could sleep. After reading the instructions 20 times to make sure that I got it on right- oh my word! They were fabulous! I was able to breathe that night and got a great night's sleep and my cold didn't progress any further.

I told my hubby about them and he reminded me that we still have a very unused box in the cabinet- so to humour me he tried them again, but they still didn't help with his snoring.

Bottom line- I've found a way to breathe at night so that the only reason I might not sleep now is because of hubby's snoring!

Pros: Great for light to moderate breathing issues/congestion (i.e. allergy/cold)
Cons: Can be pricey (I'm sure I've seen them on sale or coupons) and they really don't work to reduce moderate to severe snoring.

I ordered these as samples, and I tried them on when I was sick and had a stuffy nose.

The concept behind these are pretty simple: a bendy, metal material that wants to snap back to its "straight" shape with a stick side to stick onto your nose. Basically, by sticking it onto your nose, it pulls your skin forward (in front of you), thus allowing more space for you to breathe. Its simplicity is actually quite disappointing, as it almost seems barbaric in its methods. Nevertheless, it did make breathing a bit easier at night (though not a miracle by any means). Try it out by ordering it as a sample, but don't put too much hope into them and waste $15 buying a pack of them at the drugstore.

Breathe Right strips really are the answer to medicine-free clear breathing! I used these recently when I had a really bad cold.

Before these, I always reached for decongestants and nasal sprays, but both wear off in the middle of the night so what's the point, right? I also don't like getting into these cycles of taking meds because my illness always seems to last longer that way.

These strips are dummy-proof easy to use and are completely effective. They don't wear off either - you have to take them off for that to happen, and the adhesive is strong enough that they will not come off by accident.

In fact, that gets me to the negative part of my review. If you have sensitive skin, these are uncomfortable to remove. It's best to get in the shower and soak your face really well first, then gently remove. The adhesive on these strips are comparable to a really strong Band-Aid (you know, the fabric kind). This also means that wearing these several nights in a row can really be hard on your skin. However, going drug-free for that period of time seems to make my colds go away faster, so I have never had to use these more than 2 nights back to back.

I definitely recommend these strips, but just be careful when removing them!

I find it to work when I am stuffed up at night from allergies, it helps me to breathe better.

I used to find that I was always tired when I'd wake up in the morning. Given the opportunity, I could easily sleep in to 11am to 12pm everyday, despite going to bed at night at a descent time.

My sister suggested Breathe Right nasal strips, which would open the passageways in my nose, allowing for easier air (and, thus, oxygen) intake. I tried them out, and I had the best night sleep I had had in years!

These strips allow me to breathe so easily now. I've been sleeping better, and I wake up each morning refreshed.

One criticism I have for the product, however, is the price. They are rather expensive.

This is a fairly decent product. It's a drug free way of getting nasal congestion relief whether it be from a cold, allergies or if you suffer from snoring. I can only comment on it's affectiveness for colds and allergies. I find with allergies it doesn't help much, but if you've got a cold, and you take cold medication and use one of these strips while you sleep, you'll feel a lot more rested in the morning as it helps keep the nasal passage open.
