Snore Bastion Nasal Dilators for Sleeping Extra-Small (XS) - Nostril Opener - Anti Snoring Nose Vents - Medical Grade Silicone Snore Stopper - Snoring Solution to Stop Snoring

I was skeptical about if these would work and afraid of sores developing in my nose. I wasn't sure which size I would need, so I ordered both medium and large. I started trying the medium and it worked well. I did start to get a sore spot on my nostril with the deviated septum. The dilator went up too far and was rubbing against wall of my nostril. I fixed it by cutting that side a little shorter and apply nasal moisturizer on the dilators before putting them in. I had no problem with them falling out during my sleep. I could immediately tell that my air intake through my nose was a lot better. I stayed with the medium size for about a week. I decided to try the large size to see if they would be better. They open my nostrils a bit more. I use these in conjunction with mouth tape. I wear a smart watch that monitors my O2 levels during sleep and noticed that before the dilators, my levels dropped down into the low 80's and sometimes 70's, which is pretty scarey. And that was with the magnetic device that opens your nasal. While using these dilators, my O2 levels during sleep are in the 90's, much better! While I do still snore, it is not near as loud as it used to be. I recommend these. If the inside of your nose gets irritated, try using nasal moisturizer and keep trying to use them until your nasal get used to them.

My nose gets stuffed easily, and so I’ve worn nose strips for 30 years when I sleep, and will probably wear them for the rest of my life. However, if I want to take a nap, even a long nap, I can’t wear a nose strip because that is at least an 8-hour commitment. If you wear a nose strip for a nap, good luck taking it off without tearing the skin off your nose. However, the Snore Bastion nasal dilators are great for opening up the nasal passages, and therefore they work well for naps. If you have a cold or some other reason that causes more than usual clogged nasal passages, you can combine a nose strip with Snore Bastion dilators and you’ll breathe really well. I recommend the extra-large even if you don’t have a large nose, because the entire length of the dilator does not need to go into the nose. As far as snoring goes, I can’t comment on that because I sleep alone, and if I snore, I don’t ever hear it.

I was disappointed as I was hoping these were a harder material that would help hold your nostrils open. I thought that was the whole point so air would flow through the nostrils better. First, I likely bought a size that was too small, my fault, but if they were a harder material they should still somewhat work. The material is so flimsy I didn't have any breathing relief at all. In fact, I felt more congested because these saggy things were just blocking my nasal passages and not holding them open. In just appearance alone, I thought these were going to be the solution. I have tried a few other types of nasal dilators and thought with these round "basket" shaped openings they would hold my nostrils open. No such luck. Glad others have had luck with these, but they are useless to me. Unlikely returnable either since they go in your nose!

I couldn't wait to try this product as I have not been able to breathe through my nose while I sleep for many years and this allergy season it has been worse than ever. I got the medium, which I believe is the correct size, but it feels odd to wear it. It's not painful or anything but definitely feels like something is stuck there and kind of tickled the inside of my nostrils. It's too annoying for me to use nightly. Several times I woke up and it was on my nightstand, so I must have removed it during the night without realizing. It did help open things up and improved my nasal breathing by a good 30-40%, just wish I could get used to the feeling of having a foreign thing stuck up my nose.

The XS device is, in fact, “extra small”. The manufacturer delivered what was promised. I only wish that exact measurements had been specified in the add (if they were there, I missed them). XS small is tiny - too small for me. I like the project, having used the smallest ones that came in a multi-sized package. They are comfortable and effective.

I want to add that Bastion refunded me plus sent a new package out. The automated Amazon wanted me to return a product I never received, Bastion came thru and made up for what Amazon will be charging me. Though a bit of a hassle to to deal with all this - so will order from Bastion again. The nose vents are soft and flexible, they do not collapse in my nose. I have one nostril that wants to close up at night. I wanted the purchased nose vents to last so I cut the center strip and viola! I had two. Great idea until I had to go digging with tweezers in my nose to fetch the line vent that found its way way up in my nostril. So now I just use both nose vents. I tend to forget they are in and sometimes start to leave home with them in. Embarrassing, but hey, I can breathe. Thank you Bastion for the replacement and the refund. Earlier review: I had ordered 1 set, but only received 1 instead of 4. I ordered again, so now I’m in $30., but received none. This time I complained. I received a set of 6 from Bastion. I was pleased. However, Amazon is waiting for me to return the order that I never received. I don’t know how to do that. If I get billed for the last set that was meant to make up for the previous two ordered - then I will go nuts. All I want is to keep my nostrils open, and these work for me, but I’m going crazy just to get what I paid for. I think Bastion is trying to help, but Amazon insists on me returning something I never received. Bastion did help with a refund, and I’m very grateful. If you order from them, and there is an error, Bastion follows through to make things right. I will order from them again.

My partner complains about my snoring. These have help, now she's happy.

They do the job while you are sleeping.
