Breathe better, sorted.
Short, plain-English walkthroughs: applying strips and tape, making them stick, and finding your size.
The straight answers.
Choose
Which strip, which tape, which sizeWhich strip should I use?
Start with what's annoying you. Regular nights → Night Strips. Strips that lift early, oily skin, heat or restless sleep → XGrip. Training and sport → Active. Want the refined all-rounder → Nozey Pro. Still unsure? The 60-second quiz sorts it.
Strip or tape, which do I start with?
Open the nose first, tape only makes sense when air has somewhere to go. If your nose feels blocked at night, start with a strip. If your nose is clear but your mouth falls open, start with tape. Most people end up on both.
Classic vs Lavender vs Eucalyptus?
Same Night Strip, different finish. Classic is unscented. Lavender is the softer wind-down cue. Eucalyptus is the fresher one. Pick on preference, the strip underneath is identical.
Classic Tape vs Collagen Tape?
Classic is black cotton with a firmer, steadier seal. Collagen is satin-smooth white nylon with a gentler feel, the pick if firmer tape is too much for your skin.
Small or Regular?
Honestly, don't overthink it. Nose size is a poor guide to strip size: big noses sometimes prefer Small and smaller noses sometimes prefer Regular. That's exactly why every Night Strips and XGrip pack ships your chosen size plus two free samples of the other size, so you can try both. Keep whichever sits flat without the ends curling onto your cheeks. Bought the wrong one? We swap the pack free.
Do nasal strips actually work?
They're a drug-free, single-use external strip: the band gently lifts the sidewalls of your nose to help open the nasal passages and support easier nasal breathing. How much you notice depends on your nose and what's getting in the way, give it a few nights to judge.
Are they safe to use every night?
Yes, they're drug-free, single-use external nasal strips. Apply to clean, dry skin. Do not apply over irritated or broken skin. Remove slowly. Stop using if irritation persists. A fresh strip each night is simply how the hold works.
Which is your strongest-holding strip?
XGrip, the grippier overnight strip for oily skin, warm rooms and restless sleep. Active is the one built for training and sweat. Night Strips and Nozey Pro lead on comfort and finish instead.
Nozey Pro vs Night Strips?
Same comfortable overnight job. Pro is the refined, lower-profile finish in Black, Beige and Pink; Night Strips are the flagship in Classic, Lavender and Eucalyptus. Pick on look and scent, both are gentle and comfort-first.
Will a strip help when I'm blocked up from a cold?
Nasal strips work on the shape of your nose, not on illness, they aren't a cold or congestion treatment. They may help you breathe a little easier, but if you're unwell, don't tape, and see how a strip feels on its own.
Can my partner and I share a pack?
Easily, strips are single-use and a 30-pack goes a long way for two. If your noses differ, each pack already ships two free samples of the opposite size, so you can both dial in the fit.
Will nasal strips help my snoring?
Snoring has a lot of causes; strips work on one of them, the shape of your nasal airway. By helping open the nose they support easier nasal breathing, and plenty of people find their nights get quieter, but we don't promise snoring outcomes, everyone's different. You've got 30 nights to see how it goes on you.
I think I have a deviated septum, will a strip fix it?
A strip won't change your anatomy, it gently lifts the soft sidewalls of your nose, so it can't correct a deviated septum. Some people with a mild deviation still find it helps them breathe a little easier, but if it's significant, that's a conversation for your GP or an ENT.
Use
Applying, wearing, removingHow do I apply a nasal strip?
Wash and fully dry the bridge of your nose, no moisturiser, sunscreen, oil or sweat. Peel the backing, place the strip across the bridge and sidewalls, then press firmly for 10 seconds. Apply about 10 minutes before bed. Apply to clean, dry skin. Do not apply over irritated or broken skin. Remove slowly. Stop using if irritation persists.
How do I apply mouth tape?
Lips clean and dry (skip the lip balm for Classic, Collagen doesn't need it). Place the tape across closed lips and smooth it on. You don't need full coverage, a centre seal does the job. Only use mouth tape when nasal breathing feels clear. Do not use while congested, unwell, after drinking, or if you suspect sleep apnoea. Remove slowly and stop using it if irritation occurs.
How long does a strip last? Can I reuse one?
Every Nozey strip is single-use, one per night or session, 30 to a pack. Adhesive is spent after a wear; a fresh strip is the whole point of the hold.
How do I remove a strip without it hurting?
Slowly, from one end, ideally after a warm shower or with warm water on the bridge. Any redness settles fast. Never rip it like a band-aid.
Can I wear a strip and tape together?
Yes, that's the full setup. Open the nose with a strip first, then add tape to help keep the mouth closed during sleep. Only tape when nasal breathing already feels clear.
Can I shower or sweat with a strip on?
Water and sweat are adhesive's enemy, apply to dry skin and keep the bridge dry. For training and sweat, Active is the strip built for it; for warm, restless nights, XGrip.
Do strips work with a beard or moustache?
The strip sits on the bridge of your nose, well above a moustache, so facial hair isn't an issue. Just keep the bridge itself clean and oil-free.
Can I use a strip with a CPAP machine?
Plenty of people do, but check with whoever manages your therapy first, your mask fit and pressure matter more than the strip, and we can't advise on medical devices.
How should I store my strips?
Cool, dry and sealed in the pack. Heat and humidity are what wear adhesive down before it ever reaches your nose.
Can I wear a nasal strip during the day?
Absolutely, plenty of people wear them for focus, sport or a stuffy office, not just sleep. Same strip, same rules: clean, dry skin and a firm 10-second press.
Do I put a strip on before or after my skincare?
Neither over the other, the strip needs bare, dry skin. Do your skincare, then leave the bridge of your nose clean and oil-free for the strip. Moisturiser or serum under a strip is the fastest way to make it lift.
Can I wear makeup with a nasal strip?
Yes, just keep the bridge itself bare where the strip sits, makeup, like moisturiser, stops adhesive gripping. Apply the strip to clean skin and work your makeup around it.
Fix
Won't stick, marks, skin, fitMy strip won't stay on all night
Most lift issues come from skin prep, not the strip. Oil, moisturiser, sweat and damp skin beat adhesive quickly. Clean and fully dry the skin first, no moisturiser, sunscreen, oil or sweat. Press the strip firmly for 10 seconds. Remove slowly. If your skin runs oily, you're in a warm room, or you sleep restless, that's the XGrip lane.
One side keeps lifting
Usually placement: the strip is sitting too high or too low to grip the sidewall. Centre it across the widest part of the bridge so both ends sit flat, then press each end for the full 10 seconds.
My skin reacted to the strip or tape
Stop using it and let the skin settle. Sensitive skin generally does better on the softer options, Night Strips or Collagen tape. If a reaction sticks around, send the support form and we'll sort the right refund path.
The mouth tape feels too tight or claustrophobic
Use a smaller piece across the centre of the lips, a gentle seal, not a lockdown. And never tape when you're congested: open the nose with a strip first, or skip tape that night.
I got the wrong size
You're covered. Your pack already shipped two free samples of the opposite size, so try one of those for a night or two. Once you know which size is right, send the support form with your order number and we'll swap the rest of the pack free.
There's a faint line on my nose in the morning
Normal and temporary, it's just where the strip sat, and it settles within a few minutes of removal. Take it off slowly after warm water and it fades faster.
My strip lifts the moment I sweat
That's the Active lane. The everyday strips aren't built for heavy sweat, Active has the structure for training and heat. Towel off and apply to fully dry skin before you start.
There's sticky residue after I take a strip off
Warm water and a gentle wash lifts it, avoid scrubbing. If it keeps happening, you may be removing too fast; slow, from one end, is kinder to skin and leaves less behind.
The strip pinches or feels too tight
Usually a size thing, try the Small samples in your pack. Placement matters too: centre it on the widest part of the bridge so the tension sits evenly across both sidewalls.
My nose still feels blocked with a strip on
A strip supports easier nasal breathing by opening the passages, it isn't a congestion treatment. If it's persistent and not illness-related, it may be worth a chat with a pharmacist or GP.
My strip keeps rolling up at the edges
Two usual causes: skin that wasn't fully dry, or placement too high or low so the ends don't meet the sidewall. Re-wash, dry completely, centre it on the widest part of the bridge, and press each end for the full 10 seconds.
The tape left a mark around my lips
A faint mark or slight redness settles quickly, like any gentle adhesive. Use a smaller centre piece, peel slowly from one corner, and switch to the softer Collagen tape if your skin's sensitive. If irritation sticks around, stop and send the support form.
