Turbine Nasal Dilator for Athletes - Pack of 3 Turbine Dilators Designed for Athletic Training - Increase Airflow to Lungs by 38% During Exercise, Sports Training, Cycling & Running

I am SO glad I took a chance on this turbine product. I was having a hard time breathing through my nose when running. I had never been diagnosed with a deviated septum or anything so I didn’t know how to troubleshoot my issue.This completely solved my issue and I can breathe comfortably through both nostrils while I run. I like this variety pack because it was a great way to determine what size I needed before buying a pack and learning I needed a different size.The turbine is super easy to place and/or adjust as needed AND it stays put nearly the entirety of my run. I will note I have a septum piercing and can still use this without an issue - I just have to be mindful when first putting it in. I’ve also been using this daily for a while and don’t see any degradation so I would say it’s pretty durable and a better value than your typical adhesive strips for breathing

After you receive test plugs and find your size from 3 sent, there is only one size that will fit. You then have 2 that are no use. Manufacturer should give a price break for the trial test. I used my size for several trail hikes and found this to help me breath through my nose better.

I purchased the three-pack of assorted sizes. The the product arrived, I decided to try the Medium size first. It was tricky inserting the two sides into my nostrils, but once in place I could tell it really increased airflow. I decided to sleep with the product I my nose, to see how it compared to the same brand nasal strips I've used for years. The product seemed to work much better than the strips, and didn't seem too uncomfortable, at first. A few hours into the night, I noticed my nose was hurting a little, even though I was sleeping on my back, so pressure wouldn't be on my nose. When I woke in the morning, my nose was a little sore, and it was a little hard to remove the product without causing discomfort. The following night I went back to nasal strips, but after that I decided to try the Small size Turbine. The Small inserted a little easier, and seemed to work as well as the medium sized version. It was a little uncomfortable, but not too bad. I slept through the night, and when I woke up, my nose was irritated from the device. I continued to use the Small one for a few nights, and when I woke up this morning, I noticed there was a little blood on the device, and it really hurt removing it. It apparently caused an injury to the inside of my nostrils, with a tiny amount of blood being visible on both sides. I really like how much the product increases airflow, but I won't be using these again any time soon.I'm going to be checking out similar products, to see if there is one more suitable for sleeping. I do think I'll use these while riding my bike, since that's usually limited to an hour or two. I've just found these aren't comfortable for sleep, and may cause small lacerations or abrasions in the nose.

I’m a long-distance runner and I noticed that I was having difficulty inhaling through my nose. I went to 2 ENT doctors because I thought that I might need surgery; the first recommended that I start using a nasal spray for congestion. I was still having difficulty inhaling after using that for a few months, so he referred me to a 2nd ENT doctor. He told me to try Breathe Right strips and they worked wonders, but they fall off within 5 minutes because I sweat so much. I was tired of spending a ton of money on these doctors visits for them to tell me that nothing is wrong with my nose (even though I think it’s pretty obvious that I have a nasal valve collapse that I wish would be treated). That’s when I found these nasal dilators and THEY’VE CHANGED MY LIFE. They’re a great, less invasive alternative to surgery. It took some practice to figure out how to place them in my nose properly, definitely watch the video tutorial. It looks a little funny sticking out of your nose but oh well. I’ve been wearing them for at least 3 months and they’re holding up well. You can definitely feel it in your nose but it’s not uncomfortable. I have a nose ring and luckily the nasal dilator doesn’t interfere with it. I wear a size medium on all runs except for easy runs since that’s when I’m not breathing as hard. My only criticism is that they might slip a little during super high-intensity runs when I’m breathing really hard, so I have to adjust them a bit. Or I’ll just exhale through my mouth instead. Also, I tend to avoid wearing them in the winter because snot will get all over them since my nose runs a lot. But other than that, I highly recommend them!! :D

I bought this after reading reviews that it helps people with deviated septum's by forcing nostrils open so you can breathe. Which sounds great to me! I got a surgery to correct my nose, and it relapsed. So until I can find the time to get it done again for real this time, I thought this may help me.This does absolutely nothing for a deviated septum. Its a quite soft set of rings. When sitting in my nose, the deviated side forces the adjustable part of the ring into my nostril, which feels awful. But it is so soft it just gets compressed by my septum and does nothing to aid in opening it up.If you have allergies, blow your nose. If you have swelling or sinus drainage, use a saline rinse. My nose is pushed in on itself so those are not options for me. My nostrils are already open, and the plastic is such a soft material my nose shoves it out of the way. I genuinely do not know who this is made for. Even when my nostril dominance switches sides and completely clogs my left nostril, the nostril itself is open. Its the septum clamped so shut that I cant breathe through it.If for whatever reason your nostrils themselves just collapse in when you try and breathe, this is a great product. If your a human being who suffers from problems that occur literally anywhere else in your nose, it will be no more helpful than any of the other nose-opening junk you can buy.

It worked but was really uncomfortable!
