Key Takeaways
- Nasal strips are adhesive strips placed on the nose to widen nostrils and increase airflow.
- Nasal strips reduce snoring and improve breathing by decreasing air resistance in the nasal passages.

Nasal strips are stiff pieces of fabric that wrap around the nose and stick to the outside of the nostrils. They widen nostrils and make it easier for air to flow through the nose. Some sleepers snore less while wearing nasal strips, but research into nasal strip effectiveness has been inconsistent.
Several studies have found that Breathe Right strips and other similar nasal strips reduce snoring and improve sleep quality.
