Like others have mentioned, the adhesive needs to be placed on for 5 minutes before using the magnetic clip, otherwise it won’t have the adhesive strength required to stick properly.
After trying many internal and external nasal dilators, I'm now using the Intake magnetic clip. I use an alcohol prep wipe to thoroughly clean the outer surface of my nose. Once dry, I apply the stickers and press them on firmly. Never had them loosen overnight.
Seems like that would be way more expensive than just buying stick on nasal strips. If it's not reusable I'm not interested. Same with the bleep. I don't like the idea of needing to buy a constant stream of the adhesives to wear every single night. It's like having a sleep subscription.
If the nasal strips work for you, then go with that... But you if think having a sleep subscription is a bad thing then you must get wayy better sleep than me lol
I started using Intake and it's working for me, as well as Breathright strips. Breathrite strips were stripping the skin of my nose. The stickers last all night for me.
After trying many internal and external nasal dilators, I'm now using the Intake magnetic clip. 1. Wash my nose 2. I use an alcohol prep wipe to thoroughly clean the outer surface of my nose. 3. Once dry, I apply the stickers, rub the perimeter first, then very lightly on the metal disk with a finger behind it inside my nose. if you press hard on the disk the perimeter of the sticker will be pulled in and slack will form. 4. Wait 3-5 minutes for the sticker to bond to the nose. 5. Put the plastic clip on. Note: When removing the plastic clip, slide it forward to prevent pulling the strip off. The strips take a bit to of use to get the process down. Give it another try. Thanks for the video! 😎👍
I found brushing my teeth, flossing, and using a light mint mouthwash at least four hours before going to bed rather than just before, helped me to breathe better. I suspect it's less of mucus generation. Maybe that's something worth trying. On the plus side, at least I won't be seeing my dentist soon 🙂
remove 2 of the magnets from the bridge itself, since there should be 2 of them on each side, and use those as magnets that you keep using, use a micropore tape for taping the magnets on your nose.- only thing is you will need to check which side of the magnet will stick to the other, works like a charm for me. no need for reusable magnets and micropore really holds it down.
So are you planning to reach out to the bleep sleep company and ask for magnetic stickers that do work better with the other product? The bleep ones look pretty big for what you're repurposing but if bleep sleep offered a similar product in the USA 🇺🇸 market I'd try it
I tried Uncle’s Bleep Eclipse magnets in my pillows mask, and now I’m going to try using my Bleep halo magnets for my Intake nasal dilator. I’m a sucker for a repurposing experiment. Thanks Uncle Nicko!
Last night I tried Nicko’s way and it worked just okay, so tonight I’m going to try using the original Intake magnets and put Stuart’s halo magnetic tapes on top of Intake magnets to keep the permanent Intake nose strip more firmly in place.
I've basically tried all nasal dilators on the market including the magneto (I combined them with and internal dilator that I put magnets on so I was not forced to stick anything on my nose and magnets where coated so no harm to the nose wall then standard internal dilators. What happends though is that my congestion is further in to the nose so it do not really help when I get congested, without congestion though boom. Nasal rinse fucks up my nose since its to sensitive after surgery, so its random play if I am in luck to sleep not congested (cpap works well and do not want to put in extra pressure or to little if its fixed pressure if I get congested and bye bye mask of in order to be able to breath).. Also have elevated bed. Am up for food allergy tests and so on after the summer to see if something is bringing me extra congestion (heart burns for instance not good, gases goes up and down and up adds congestion)
I had the same problem with Bleep's halos--I'm in the 5% of people (per Stuart) that the 3M adhesive doesn't work on. Love the concept, but I'm poking down whistling leaks around the edges of the stickers all night.
I just pull the metal discs off the supplied tape, and use 3m medical tape to secure them. Much cheaper then buying them and the 3m tape works for my mouth also!
Yea we do but the thoughts behind some of the magnetic ones is these irritate the skin less and are suppose to stay on regardless of sweat also people like the reusability of the strip itself, only replacing the stickers
@@CPAPReviewswhere is the link to the best nasal dilators? All I can get is the Walmart Breathe Right strips or some junk on Amazon that don't work? Help!!
I invented my own nasal dilator. It works so well I can run or ride my bike for as long as I want without ever opening my mouth. Costs less than 10 cents to make and I can put one out in about 3 minutes. Also it lasts forever, no tape or magnets or glues.
I tried patenting it to sell but was advised that the fortune I would spend would not cover me if the design was copied so I just make one off's. I might see if Nicko would make a video where he could show people how to do it.
@@Breadstar90 you need a piece of wire slightly thicker than a paper clip about 4 to 5 inches long. Half way along its length wrap it around a pen to create a long u shape with both sides the same length. Now wrap both sides of the u around a pen to create 3 bends. The 2 ends of the wire should now be near the original u. It is then shaped to go into the nose and safely enlarge the airway. If a pen is too big use a smaller round long object like a screw driver. Play around with it and you'll get it right for you. Always keep it clean and never force it. After a while you won't even notice it is there but it takes a while to get used to it.
I find personally that when I have one blocked nostril the cpap forces it open within a few minutes. Even if I'm congested the cpap does a good job basically opening everything up. This is why cpap mode is better than apap mode. You start right at your pressure and don't mess around with ramping up and down. The early pressure really opens everything up for me.
@@NotMyActualName_ wow that's amazing for you! I recently changed mask since I felt my other was giving me more blockage. Currently on apap mode but it quite fixed with range from 8 to 10 (have not gone over 8.9 so far).
I have a feeling it's the witch hazel cream or exaggerated to help out bleep :). I've tried them and they worked fine after I wiped my nose with rubbing alcohol.
witch hazel wipes are elite for prepping and i've tried it on my nose, my wife and also my brother and they don't work mate. I'm sorry but they don't stick. Unless i just got 2 dud packs. There are also no instructions on the box or inside the box that state you even need to clean your nose. I know this because i've been doing this gig for 20 years but the average Jo would have no clue
I'll take your word for it and give it a go. I noticed after a few minutes, one corner does start to peel back but not the entire strip. But I haven't slept with it on for hours. Anyway mate appreciate the tip. I'll definitely update you on the witch hazel.

Yeah, the strips also strip the skin off my nose and it's red all of the time. I'm thinking about trying Intake for that reason.
Awesome quick tip Uncle Nicko 👍
What sinus rinse device you using there/recommend?

I genuiely thought the magnets went inside the nostril when I first saw these!
I wonder if there are long term effects from having magnets that close to you head for multiple hours a night for years on end?
I found brushing my teeth, flossing, and using a light mint mouthwash at least four hours before going to bed rather than just before, helped me to breathe better. I suspect it's less of mucus generation.

Link to this product?
I wonder would piercings be an option. Flat nose studs would stay put, unlike stickers.
hi could you make a video on tips for wearing braces retainers and cpap mask

@@mews1950How'd it go?
I always wipe my nose with metho, then dry it off which makes the other nasal strips stick all night. Might work with these

The cheap strips work just as well.
All that cut got everybody acting like bLM
just get breathe right strips they work 100% and are cheaper lol
No where near strong enough.
Lose the beard, hats, and sloppy shirts. The “look” is hurting your credibility as a health expert.
Uncle Nicko has a brand. Not all brands are for everyone. He's clearly not for you.
And some loyal mates who have my back. Cheers Mark 🍻
Nicko is JUST FINE the way he is. Buzz off.
What a strange comment
Hard disagree. Nicko's credibility and personality IS his brand.
Sleeping on an incline gets the job done
not for me unfortunate
It does help for many!
