Which anti-snoring product is right for your situation?
Nose strips or mouth tape? It depends on why you snore. Below you can see which remedy can provide immediate relief for light snoring, depending on the situation.

Blocked nose or common cold
Do you snore mainly when you have a cold or suffer from allergies? Nasal strips open your nostrils from the outside and instantly improve airflow. Ideal for temporary use, you'll notice the difference on the very first night.

Mouth breathing at night
Do you wake up with a dry mouth and breathe through your mouth at night? Mouth tape keeps your lips gently closed, so you automatically breathe through your nose. This reduces vibrations in the throat that cause light snoring.

Next to a snoring partner
Are you keeping your partner awake, or vice versa? For the best results, combine: nasal strips or mouth tape for the snorer, and silicone earplugs for an undisturbed night on the other side of the bed.

Athletes & busy nose breathing
Do you want to breathe more easily through your nose during the day or when exercising? Nasal strips increase airflow through your nasal passages, providing a freer feeling, day and night.
These products are intended for light, occasional snoring and not for sleep apnea. Do you experience a lot of daytime fatigue, breathing pauses, or heavy snoring? Then consult a doctor.

Yes, and it is one of the most common causes. When you sleep with your mouth open, air flows through a wider, less controlled route through your throat. This causes the tissues in your throat to vibrate, and that is the sound you hear as snoring.
