Are there any long term negative effects? (ie: do they hurt the structure of the nose or stretch/enlarge the nose in any way?)

Hello, good question. No no side effects at all. All they do is gently lift the skin of the nose. We have used them every night for three years and all is well. Great product.

There are no long term negative effects as far as I am concerned and I do not feel they hurt the structure of the nose whatsoever. Also, I have learned to remove them carefully so no harm is done to the skin. I have used them every night for years.

I can't used them continually, as the adhesive tends to pull off the outer dermal layer. My skin gets red in the shape of the strip and gets tender. It could be that I have an allergy to the adhesive.

They gave me a headache immediately. I returned them. I am sure if they do not give you a headache that they are still having an adverse effect on your health.

They are definitely soft on the inside. You won't feel any of the plastic resting against your face. If you have a bigger nose, and the goggles ride a bit low, it may cause pressure on your nasal passage, but it's not uncomfortable because of the material.

Absolutely no weight gain on my end. I'm very sensitive to medication, but haven't had any side effects with this! I really liked them. Hope this helps you and good luck.;)

I've been using them since I was 13 and I really enjoy them. They should be fine :-) the nose bridge is adjustable and the straps will not be a problem at all!

I have tried the Advanced. While they may work just fine for some folks, they didn't seem to give me the 'open nasal' effect that Breathe Right Extra does. The Extra type are made with heavier material and they adhere very securely, keeping my nasal passages open all night. And, they remove easily, too.

Sept 2017 - I too have used it for decades...as are many I've told of it. No extra side effects, no toxicity. I take them morning and night year 'round. Augmenting with the 4hr version as needed when allergies are most prevalent. After starting these, I bad sinus infections and bronchitis goodbye.

I also had fitting problems. Go to the woodyknows website and leave an email for them - they are extremely helpful and should be able to help you find the right ones for your nose. Once I got the right ones it made living with allergies SOOO much better!

Measurements are given in answers to other questions - unless it is a child's nose I don't think these need to be sized because of the design. The way they are placed which Is past the "window" or "webbed" off area just inside our noses keeps them in place. The depth of placement in an individual's nose would determine how closely the strip fits against the outside of your nose so they self adjust.

I've been using them in bedrooms for over a year with no noticeable negative effects. I have to be much more careful with the birds than humans (because of their lungs and sensitivities, not priorities). The label warns against using them with birds but after extensive discussion with bird people I trust, I tried them. Also no negative effects with the birds. Not having moths for the first time in years is heaven!

Not that I can tell. I have been taking them for 2 years or more and I have not changed from a man into a woman or had any other side effects.

I've had them last for years, with no adverse effects, so long as they are dry when stored. Hope this helps.

They are not too comfortable. I returned mine. They lenses were short and I could see underneath them. That was my biggest complaint. I don't believe the nose piece is adjustable and is made of hard plastic.

I seriously doubt you will be able to keep this nose tube in place. I have never succeeded in keeping them in all night, no matter what I tried. However, they are easily cleaned with either soap and water or wiped with hydro gen peroxide. They will last indefinitely, if they work for you!

honestly, they didnt stay on my nose for too long. they slip off. depending on your nose size & if youre oily too. I got this to slim my nose a bit, but it only opens to a certain point.

It is pretty noticeable but did not prevent me from sleeping, it all depends on how deep you push them in. It does not distort the shape of your nose. They are clear. One annoying thing is they would fall out of my nose during sleep.

Sounds like a question for the company. I have taken this for years on the advice of my friend's doctor - had good results - never looked for another choice. The effects develop slowly over time until one day you realize that you are not as creaky / uncomfortable as before. I, too, stopped for a while and could really tell the difference then! I'm surprised that Amazon / companies don't maintain a contact web site for questions like these.
