They're ok, but they don't really work for me.
I did not get these for snoring (I don't really know if I snore, but it doesn't matter as the only ones who would hear it are the dogs, and they don't care), but instead to see if it would make it easier for me to breathe through my nose. My nasal passages have been slowly narrowing for the last 10-15 years (probably related to old injuries, the cartilage has collapsed a little bit), and I just wanted something to help open them up a little.  So I've been trying nasal dilators, but unfortunately not with much luck.<br /><br />My nose is oddly bent at the tip.  I haven't been able to use other nasal dilators because the width of the part that goes around the septum hasn't been wide enough to compensate for the curve at the end without being so wide that they won't fit into my nose at all.  These are supposed to be soft and flexible, so I gave them a try.  They are more comfortable than other nasal dilators I've tried, but they still don't really fit right, unfortunately.<br /><br />I'm not sure how the blue ones are supposed to work anyway..  They seem to take up available space instead of creating more space.  I think this is because my narrowing is further inside. These push inward on the septum instead out outward at the sides, and the balls at the ends (the magnets -- i don't understand why it has magnets) just end up plugging my nose right at its narrowest point.<br /><br />The white ones are interesting, and much better for my type of nose.  The instructions are unclear and it took me a while to figure out how they are supposed to go in, but I finally figured it out (I think).  These stretch open the nostril without having to clip around the septum. There is a very thin and flexible piece that goes under/around the septum to keep the two sides from separating completely, but that's not the part holding it in - the design allows the nostrils themselves to hold these in.  They're not too uncomfortable either, surprisingly.  Unfortunately I still can't get them in far enough to make much of a difference, but these came pretty close to working at least.<br /><br />For those whose septum isn't symmetrical, this design makes so much more sense. The dimensions aren't quite right for me though, I would need it to stretch my nostrils side-to-side more than back-to-front.  So although I like the design and I think this is the closest I've come so far, they still don't really work for me.
