O2 Nostril Filters with 3M Filtration – Allergy Nostril Filter – Nasal Dilators for Sleep, Mud, Air pollution & Journey – Anti Loud night breathing Gadgets – Mud Masks (Measurement X-Small, Pack of 10)

Make my nose run, SIZE UP!
I have a cricket farm and they smell. I got these in the hopes I wouldn’t have to wear a mask, but alas, they don’t work for me. Originally I bought the small because my nose is small and I can barely get a pinky tip into my nostril (think what you want or me, we all need to get inside our nose sometimes!) they were much too small, so I ordered a medium. These were also too small, because the shape of your inner nostril is not a perfect oval, or at least mine is not. A tight seal may be able to be achieved with a slightly larger size that may be fitted in there because skin and cartilage will make room for it. This said, if you do get them to fit snugly, they apparently pressed some sort of secret sensor inside my nose that sends a signal to clear whatever foreign object that’s in your nose out and my nose just started running like crazy and I had to keep pulling them out to blow my nose. You do NOT want to put these back in after you have to pull them out for excessive snottage. I wanted them to work so badly, but it is a no-go for me.

They fall out & design makes unwearable
I was to get these nasal filters because I thought I had found a product that would actually work. However I was really disappointed with this. First of all the design is incredibly uncomfortable they do not stay in your nostril. You have to have a really wide nostril for the filters to fit. Even when I shoved them in halfway up my nose they still would not fit so they were basically a complete waste of money because you cannot wear them I am shocked that they had good reviews and I would recommend something different. Either invest in a mask to wear over your face or invest in some sort of allergen blocking nasal gel I have bought a great allergen blocking nasal gel from Amazon they have many different types but for me it’s a great product because it does seem to cut down on the allergens entering my body and I noticed that when I wear it I do not get the symptoms that I normally would if I wouldn’t wear it for example when I don’t wear it my nose will run I will get a headache I will get congested and I’ll feel tired when I put it on in the morning. After bathing and having my nose Celine rinsed it is really really effective for me especially with my problems and sensitivities to mold

They work
These work really well to protect your sinuses from dust inhalation they definitely kept the brake dust from my job out however they take some getting used to because they have to be inserted fairly deep into your nostrils

Great 👍stuff

I am now satisfied with these but you should basically ignore the fitting guide. These are meant (apparently) to be fully inserted in the nostrils with the plastic half-ring tight against your septum.For me – as soon as i tried fitting them this way it wasn’t long before at least one of the filters would turn side-ways in one of my nostrils resulting in ineffective filtration. There doesn’t seem to be anything to grip them and keep them in place when fully inserted.However – what i noticed was is that there is a groove in the design of the filters. I found that by inserting them at the very edge of my nostrils i could get this groove to slot in-between and grip the cartilage at the entrance of the nostrils.I have demonstrated this with some pictures that i have added. Once slotted in place at the entrance of the nostrils they stay put (at least for me) but ONLY if you purchase a size one size larger than actually fits you.I initally bought the medium size – which was about the right size for me and although these slotted in ok and were comfortable there was still enough ‘play’ in them to eventually work themselves loose, (but not always).I then bought the large size – at first i found them uncomfortable as they really did stretch my nostrils but i soon got used to this. I also found them MUCH easier to breath through than the medium set as my nostrils were being forced wider.The extra size kept them firmly in place and they have not come loose since. The only difficulty is in the initial fitting as the larger size takes some practice to slot into place.Although they are more noticeable when inserted at the entrance of the nostrils they are still far less noticeable than walking around with a face mask on all the time.Once used i then remove them and clean them with an alcohol wipe and store them in the provided carrying case. I keep using the same set until they begin to darken and then i switch to a new set.I have also noticed that if i breath in through my nose and out through my mouth i get less ‘runniness’ in my nose. It is a real pain having to remove them to blow your nose.All in all i am now happy with them and i will continue to use them – i hope this review has been helpful.
