Tips
- Try to position the nasal strip as carefully and as accurately on your nose as possible the first time around to avoid having to remove and reposition the strip. In most cases, there may not be enough adhesive left on the strip to support repositioning.Thanks
- Apply a small amount of talcum powder to the surface of your nose after toweling dry to soak up excess moisture or sweat, especially if you tend to have oily skin. The application of talcum powder can help the strip adhere more efficiently to your nose -- especially if you tend to toss and turn throughout the night.Thanks
