How many of you women out there suffer from your partner’s snoring or perhaps your sibling’s non-stop droning which disturbs your own beauty sleep? It is ironical but the “snorer” can never seem to hear themselves and would always protest if anyone suggested that they snored in their sleep, unless of course they snore so loudly they wake themselves up! If you have been suffering, either by snoring or having to tolerate a snorer, don’t kick your partner out of bed into a separate room just yet. A new product to help is now available in the market – BreathRight. Does it work? Read my review below.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring happens to almost anyone out there, especially if they are very tired. It is a breathing problem which occurs when the airflow into your breathing passages are restricted due to restrictions in the nasal passages or relaxing of the throat muscles. These can be caused by nasal allergies, cold or flu. For some reason, snorers tend to be men rather than women! Snoring isn’t dangerous but it can be if it leads to “sleep apnea”, a condition where a snorer stops breathing repeatedly during their sleep. Although it is not long enough to be life-threatening, sleep apnea can cause fatigue, irritability and lack of sleep which can lead to health risks such as hypertension and heart diseases or danger in driving or operating heavy machinery during the daytime.

What Is BreatheRight And How Does BreatheRight Work?

BreatheRight are drug-free snoring aids available in the form of nasal strips or throat sprays. The sample tried was the nasal strips and they claim to reduce snoring by gently opening your nasal passages while you sleep to help you breathe through your nose, instead of your mouth which reduces snoring. Each nasal strip consists of flexible spring-like bands which gently lift the sides of your nose to expand nasal passages.

How Do I Use BreatheRight?

  • First, find a strip that is suitable for your nose size. 3 types ranging from Original Tan (for snoring due to colds and allergies), Clear Strips (for sensitive skin) and Mentholated Strips are available in small, medium and large sizes. Small and medium work best for most adults and adolescents while Large works best for adults with larger noses.
  • Wash and dry your nose area.
  • If you have sensitive skin, use Clear Strips or place a drop of moisturizer under the centre of the strip before applying.
  • Remove the strip liner and properly position it across your nose.
  • When placed correctly, the reflex action bands lift the sides of your nose to provide instant relief!
  • Removal is easy. Simply wash your face, gently lift the sides of the strip and remove it.

Does BreatheRight Work?

The snoring did reduce over the one night of usage. However, there were still parts of the night where I was woken by snoring! It could have been due to a wrong placement of the BreatheRight strip, however, we will be trying again to see if this can totally eliminate snoring from a snorer.

If it does, it will be a huge relief to all out there who have had to put up with noisy snoring and interrupted sleep!
