I have always had trouble breathing through my nose at night. After going to sleep, I usually wake up with a dry throat (from mouth breathing) and a stuffed up nose. I thought nasal dilators might be a solution. First I tried nose strips, but the adhesive almost removed the skin from my nose each morning. Then I came across the little silicone plastic inserts (i.e., Mute), and I sent for these. Often they would fall out during the night, but they did offer some help. As it turned out, however, my trouble was further down, and the airways to the nose, in the back of my throat, just swelled shut. Net, net, I got a bit a relief by Mute's keeping my nostrils open. I discontinued use after a few weeks, and then I discovered a significant problem. The alae of my nose (the rounded, flared areas on either side of the nose) developed stretch marks, and they became rough and sore. Over a year has passed (I purchased Mute in July 2021), and my nose still has not healed. My dermatologist advised applying petroleum jelly (e.g., Vaseline) to keep the alae hydrated, but it hasn't worked. To this day, I am contending with this issue caused by short term use of nasal dilators.Read full review

It really works to help your nostrils from collapsing. That allows you to take in more air.

These work great. Only complaint is that they seem vastly overpriced for what amounts to a small piece of plastic.
