Breathe Right Extra Strength Nasal Strips work to instantly open your nose for nasal congestion relief you can feel right away. Breathe Right nasal strips alleviate your nasal congestion, whether from colds, allergies, or a deviated septum, by widening your nostrils, helping you take air in more easily. Each Breathe Right nasal strip is uniquely engineered with flexible “spring-like” bands and sticks to the area right above the flare of each nostril.
