intakeBreathing Nasal Strip Starter Kit (30 Count, Black) - Boost Oxygen Intake, Reduce Snoring, Improve Sleep Quality - Sweat Resistant, Skin Safe Nasal Strips - Extra Strength Snoring Solution

This is an incredible product. It provides probably 2-3x the airflow of the best adhesive / bendy strip.The first night after wearing this I did some useful personal writing and took some steps to get over a major depressive episode.The nose bridge did come off the magnets on the first night, so I wish the magnets were a little bit stronger, but fortunately the magnets stuck on my nose so I was able to find it in my sheets and stick it right back on. I understand that the stronger the magnets are the harder it is to take off so the manufacturer is probably doing a trade-off there but I think a little-bit stronger magnets would help.The L1 size fit my large-ish nose just fine, and it is more comfortable and less itchy than the other products in its class.I genuinely love this so much that I'm considering hiring someone for body-modification to implant magnets in my nose. It is expensive but probably worth it.

UPDATED! - The company reached out to me in a very personal way in order to make things right with my purchase, and hear direct feedback to improve customer's experience in the future. And before you say it, no I'm not changing my review just because they bribed me or coerced me to help them out. As I noted in my initial comments, they do work well once you get the placement right. I didn't realize that they will do a free consultation with you to make sure the fit and magnetic strip placement is correct. I would HIGHLY suggest taking advantage of this. The directions are pretty clear but talking to them is really worth it. Also, bear in mind if you need the tiny or extra large nose piece you will need to reach out to them and they will send you one since they do not come with the set. Not a huge deal, just be prepared to wait a few extra days if you're in this situation. I tried breathe right strips after this and they actually gave me a headache because you can not customize the sizing like this product. So that's another huge bonus and makes the money worth it. All in all they are a small business launching a new product and the aspects below are completely understandable. Their great customer service and want to hear constructive feedback to improve goes a LONG way.READ BEFORE BUYING - - It works fairly well but has a lot of drawbacks you should know about before purchasing. It's a bit finicky to place the magnetic connector tabs in the correct spot if you're doing it by yourself in the mirror. I burned through 3 sets before I was able to place them in the right spot. Which isn't great considering how expensive they are. Price is another issue, while this works once you figure out your nose size and proper placement, it's pretty expensive all things considered. They also don't tell you that the starter kit does not come with the smallest and largest nose bracket so be aware. Finally, the adhesive is REALLY tough to wash off your nose. My normal face wash didn't work, so I had to use rubbing alcohol to get it off which isn't great for your skin. All in all they work better than the Breathe Right strips, just be prepared for a few drawbacks and extra bucks from your bank account.

I found out about intake through an instagram ad and thought it looked fantastic so I purchased it just to try it out. 20 dollars seemed reasonable, and I would say even for that price, this thing is pretty worth it.In terms of the product itself, it does everything it claims to do, it opens up my airway fantastically. The quality is great, the plastic is not cheap feeling, the magnetic applicator is actually very handy, makes it easy to apply, and it includes sizing for almost any nose size. The stickers themselves work great, and so long as you clean your nose beforehand, they won’t start to come off until you wear them longer than 24hrs. If I was rating based on the product itself, I’d give a perfect review.I like to wear mine before bed, which drastically improves my sleep quality. I’ve also worn it to the gym a few times which was amazing, but I’m not brave enough to show up with it on every day lol. Any situation where you need to open up your airways works great with this. Sometimes if I’m gonna be working from home, I’ll just stick it on the morning and leave it on all day!Positives aside, when I ran out of the adhesive magnets, I went and checked the price of the refills. Intake wants to charge $30 for 30 stickers. I don’t know how you can justify charging a dollar for a bandaid with a tiny magnet in it. Mind you, without those, the product is completely unusable. Since I didn’t want to pay the equivalent of 2 Prime memberships every month to continue using my nose strip, I went online to do some research to see if maybe there was a DIY solution or way to reuse the stickers…Turns out, I discovered THIS EXACT PRODUCT is on aliexpress, sold by the actual manufacturer for $2 dollars (for the same starter pack kit).Not a knockoff version, the exact same product. I have both kits now and besides packaging, the two products are literally indistinguishable. Same logo, same materials, same sizing, even the swirling pattern on the magnetic applicator is the same.Not only that, but the refill sticker packs cost $7 for 100 count… basically, intake is selling you a product that they didn't actually invent, don’t actually make, putting their own branding and charging you 10x markup for the kit and 15x markup for refills.So while I absolutely love the product, I can’t help but feeling like I’ve been duped into participating in someone’s get rich quick scheme by buying from Intake. I honestly wouldn’t even fault them if they sold it for a less ridiculous markup, since at least you have the convenience of avoiding international shipping and having prime overnight. But in my mind, selling a $0.07 sticker for 1 dollar is totally unjustified.Rating 3 stars, because despite the drop shipping scam, the product itself is perfect. If it weren’t for intake’s shady business model, I would have rated 5 stars.
