Breathe Right Nasal Strips

Help for mild snoring

Pros
  • Mildly effective
  • Not too disruptive
Cons
  • Don't work for all mild snorers
  • Not appropriate for serious snoring caused by sleep apnea

Recommendations of Breathe Right Nasal Strips are very equivocal; we found the best (or, at least, the least negative) reviews of this snoring remedy at Slate.com, BBC News Magazine, and SleepEducation.com.

Nasal congestion accounts for only ten percent of snoring cases, sleep researchers say, meaning only ten percent of snorers will find Breathe Right strips (which hold your nasal passages open as you sleep) to be an effective remedy. Still, reviews by users, tests by manufacturers and recommendations by doctors all point to Breathe Right Nasal Strips as the most effective (or, rather, the least ineffective) over-the-counter treatment for chronic snoring. The verdict on Breathe Right Nasal Strips is that they can't do any harm, but they can't control snoring nearly as well as behavioral or postural change, oral appliances or surgery.
