BEST products to make your nose feel bigger
Jane Tarrant’s personal recommendations (so far)
Best for Sport & Sweat & Comfort
Zone8 Nasal Strips - The best adhesion and comfort I’ve found for sport. I’ve sweat tested these in the sauna, shower and during exercise. This option makes a statement. You’re an optimiser and you’re not trying to hide it. Available in black & pink, with two different sizes for dilation strength. Make sure your nose is clean and dry before adhesion. My code “LINKBREATHING10” gives you an extra 10% off above any onsite discount.
Best for Speed, No Glue & Less Waste
Mute Internal Nasal Dilator - I wear this clear internal nasal dilator regularly for sleep (if congested) and exercise. With 3 sizes and adjustable on both nostril loops to support deviated septum or broken nose irregularity. I have found this the most comfortable and discreet internal dilator so far. It is a great option if I don’t want glue on my face. For clients who wear face cream, this could be a game changer.
Best for Sleep & Budget & Subtlety
Neon Nasal Strips - These are clear nasal strips. If you want something discreet, for short term use, e.g. an exercise session which isn’t too sweaty, during a cold or to get a good night’s sleep if you are feeling congested or restricted, this is one of my favourites. It is at a reasonable price and does the job. They are comparable to something like Breathe Right who also do a clear option, but are better value with 60 per pack.

Thinking of using mouth tape for sleep too?
Before you start, please read my article: Why Some People Shouldn’t Mouth Tape For Sleep
Here are two helpful videos:
1) to check you are ready to mouth tape at night
2) to learn how to optimise your breathing habits
Mouth tape is a great tool for helping guarantee nose breathing at night, but it is not the only way to improve your breathing habits, nor is it suitable for everyone. Certainly not without preparation. Not all of my clients use it.
