My nose is narrow. The ends of the strips don't stay in place, but rather curl off. Is there a remedy for this?

Bruce, First what size strip are you wearing??? Anything bigger than a sm/med is to big....I recently got new glasses which come down further on my nose causing the same problem you are having.....keeping my glasses tightened is helping.... I have been wearing breathe right strips day an night for over 10 years!!! Maybe before you put a new one on you could cut a tiny bit off each end....that would shorten it, an may help the curling ends....hope this helped!!! Jean Heming....one last thing make sure you are getting the oil on the sides of your nose cleaned off , I use the blue clean & clear oil absorbing sheets from Wal Mart found in the make up dept, I believe....

Dear Lucy. Thank you for your question. Yes the reason why its falling out is indeed that we rub our nose subconsciously. That's the reason why it is made from soft silicone to avoid rubbing out. The following tips are advised; 1. Find the right size 2. The small nose lock's must be IN the front of the nose tip. They must be inside the nostril. 3. Don't be affright to cut off the rings, as sometimes we don't need to stick it too deep in the nostrils. Sometimes just the depth of a half an inch is enough. 4. Nostrils are not always the same. Try different depths for left and right. 5. Cut always exact between the rings to avoid sharp edges. Anton Bende (ME)

I found when inflating both of our pillows that moisture residue from breath causes the plugs to slip out. Drying it with a facial tissue resolved the issue for us. Hope it will work as well for you. Bon voyage!

These work on the same principle as the "Breathe Right" strips, but are WAY less comfortable to wear. I purchased a chin strap and these to try together in an effort to try and sleep on my back without waking up gagging as my tongue relaxed and slipped back in my throat, chocking me awake! For people who have gotten used to oxygen in their noses, this probably wouldn't bother them. But this was the first time I've ever tried sleeping with anything in my nose, and I didn't like it. The "Breathe Right Strips" do a much better job and are very comfortable.

l put Vasaline on cone end to make it slide on. easier to point where you twist it to lock in place. Regards, Don&#9786;.

Try putting it upside down on a simmering pot of water. I had to do it several times and there was still a little curl which my husband then curled backward, it now works like it's supposed to.

I'm ussing a pin for one year or more, with no problems. I bought other because I lost one pin. I wash them with water and soap every day. I cut the plastic arc and join both cones with a thin thread more longer, its a very good solution for my nose.

No, maybe your nose is really dry (this should help) or are you spraying it too hard?

I had that with a pair of misaligned glasses. Try adjusting the nose strap length. Just an idea.

It did not fit well I placed the narrow end towards the back of my nose it was angled. My nose is round so it was uncomfortable.

I've tried both, and I don't like Advanced. The Advanced strips don't open my nasal passages nearly as much, and didn't seem to stay on as well. The Extra strip are strong and hold longer. I tried the Advanced once and never went back.

All noses are different but I found the slope that worked for me. If you put it in while you are standing and it holds it should work lying down.

I don't think that would be possible. They don't go far enough in my nose to be hidden even if the center part was not there.

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.

I agree with the general idea of "wiggle more" haha. If it's a bathroom sink, you can remove the stopper by messing around under the sink (even if the zip-it is already down there). That may help you wiggle at more angles.

@ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this. I too wanted to eliminate sag but this is NOT, by any means, in any way, the answer! It does NOT work....not immediately, not ever also. If you want something temporary maybe look for caffeine containing creams, or what is called "lifting" creams, which aren't that great either but certainly a whole lot better than this. Then, put the cream on with a wrap purchased from a local drugstore that is used for ankles -- the material is actually better than the Lus one for skin anyway. But honestly, it's silly of anyone to think this mask would work, and I can tell you for sure it did not on me or anyone! @ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this.
