Mute Nasal Dilator Snoring Solution | Large 3 Pack | Snore Less & Sleep Better | Nasal Strip Alternative | Comfortable Breathing Aids for Better Sleep & Improved Airflow

Update: so after using the mute nasal dilator for over almost 2 months now, I have some issues with it. You know how when you constantly rub something, it starts to form a type of callus? Well that’s happening inside my right nostril. It’s becoming so bad that now the right nostril is clogged during the day. So now I’m using two different types of dilators one for one week, the mute for the next week, then back to the other for a week, etc and so on. So nothing is perfect but I cannot use cpap any longer. It causes me less sleep and more problems than it solves. Im kind of stuck? Not sure what to do now, but just wanted to put this out there. No dilator is great at this stage. Don’t like the nasal strips because they do not stay on and don’t open my nose enough. So there’s my update! So this is an honest review. I’m not paid, I’m not getting any compensation; I’m just hoping to help someone else. I bought the trial pack for Mute and quickly figured out that the medium was for me. I wore it a while and I’ll be honest (again!) I felt like it bothered me. UNTIL I tried another brand of nasal dilator and oh my word! I wore the other brand for a week just to give it a fair shot and had blisters in my nose that scabbed over during the daytime. I went back to Mute and it was heaven compared to the other brand. Now having said that: the Mute dilator is not completely comfortable to where you don’t know it’s there BUT it does not cause bleeding or sores and weirdly enough when I went back to it? It seemed to work far better than the other brand that claimed to open passages “58% more.” So the night I went back to Mute? I slept 8 hrs 26 mins and woke up feeling great. The week prior with the other brand? I barely slept 5 without ripping the thing out and having a blocked left nasal passage for the rest of the night. So! That’s my honest review. In total I have tried 5 different nasal dilators and out of all of them? I’m sticking with the Mute medium nasal dilator. It’s a pain to put in, it’s a pain to get where your nose wants it to be, BUT it’s the only one so far that I’ve found that keeps my nasal passages open and lets me sleep without a clogged left nasal passage without pain and bleeding. I’ve had sinus surgery and it made things worse after so that’s not an option. The only thing I wish is that they made a variety of each size; such as extra small, small, larger small, small medium, medium, larger medium etc and so on. That way those clips wouldn’t be on there and it would be more comfortable. Hope this helps someone!

Follow up on my previous review. After ordering the trial pack and trying the small out which worked very well, I order 2 boxes of small. When I opened the first box the small size was NOT what I tried in the first box (which I still have and the med and large are both there). This new smaller version works for a small child. They won’t stay in your nose a night and cover about 1/2 your nostril. No problem I will return the box I have unopened and get the medium. WRONG. I cannot return this item! So now I have wasted $40plus dollars on a child size nasal dial at or that I cannot use. BEWARE. It was a bait and switch for me and a Waste of money. Amazon should let the buyer know when an unopened box of worthless product cannot be returned! I was told my very loud snoring was out of control. I put a snore app on my phone and found I was breathing out of my mouth. My nasal passages were swollen and nearly closed due to a deviated septum. So decided to give this a try. I CANNOT BELIEVE the difference in air flow!!! I bought the trial and started with the small. It was tight and rigid. My nose immediately started to bleed. After running hot water over the device to make it soft I was able to get it in my nose without feeling scratched up. I find the routine of warm water before inserting is much more comfortable. No bleeding or scratching. In the morning after I remove it I take a qtip with a bit of Vaseline on it and run it around my nostrils. My app had me Azeri snoring for 3 nights and now light snoring as the device does swish when I lay on my side. But MUCH better than I was before Also I wake up so refreshed! I used to literally feel like I had a hang over and was using an oxygen can to feel more awake in the mornings. I will definitely keep using this product!

These dilators are unique from several others on the market in that they offer an adjustable diameter and are designed to achieve more dilation relative to amount of plastic as compared to more straw-like diameters. These features are what drew me to these dilators. For context, I have struggled with nasal inflammation and a deviated septum all my life. I had a septorhinoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction about two years ago. It helped, but my nasal passages are still quite narrow due to turbinate hypertrophy. I practice excellent allergy and sinus hygiene with limited results and am drawn to dilators for that reason. Pros: -These feel solid and durable overall. -The diameter adjustment feels surprisingly solid and stable, so props to the manufacturer for pulling that off. Cons: -The big one is sizing! The height and diameter *both* increase from small to large. This isn't a big deal in theory, but as someone with a long, narrow nose, it's a major dealbreaker. After having fiddled with these for about 30 minutes, it seems like I need the diameter of the small size. The medium and large are too wide to fit properly in my nostrils without turning sideways and causing more obstruction and discomfort. However, the small does not go deep enough in order to dilate where dilation is needed - between my septum and inferior turbinates. I suspect that narrowing in this area is the main reason many of us are drawn to dilators. But, again, once I go up to the medium or large to achieve appropriate depth, the diameter is, again, much too large. My advice on this point overall is that the closer you are to having a square shaped nose, the better. I doubt that the diameter and depth of one's nasal passages are closely related enough for these sizes to be appropriate for many. These dilators are best suited for those with pretty clear nasal passages whose nostrils are prone to closing more superficially rather than those who need dilation anywhere above that. -I found the ridges to be somewhat painful, but this could have been related to having a poor fit with all three sizes and fiddling with them constantly.

For as long as I remember I was a mouth breather. Either that, or I was blowing my nose all the time. Or doing some humidifier or bootleg saline-neti pot situation. When it was dust, hay fever, or just the winter cold, my nose was always feeling clogged. I assume I have a deviated septum or something. The straw that broke the camel's back was one day going to the eye doctor and being told I had to have bilateral retinal detachment surgery. Yes, both of my eyes were in danger of going blind. This might be dramatic, but I feel like blowing my nose constantly all these years weakened my eye tissues and created several holes back there. (Anatomy lesson: The face has holes all over the inside between the mouth, ears, nose, and eyes. All that clogged air has to go somewhere right? Graphic I know.) Thankfully, the surgery was a success, but I knew I couldn't live like this anymore. Poor sleep, trouble getting air, and constantly making ugly breathing noises. So I looked into nose strips. I did those for a few months on and off, but they were irritating my skin, and sometimes I didn't get enough "lift" for my nostrils to open up all the way. Sometimes I would have to double up on extra strength versions. It got expensive too. Then I thought, I can't do this anymore either. My skin around my nose was dry and red, and the results weren't consistent. Sometimes the strip would fall off and sometimes it didn't help at all. So, back to Amazon search I go. I bought this 6 times from Amazon so far, so that should tell you something. This is the closest thing to being the end-all be all fix. Let me give you a few tips: 1) Read the instructions or you'll put it in backwards like I did. 2) Buy the trial pack and see what size you are. Then buy the size that fits best. 3) Don't be like me and increase the size of the ring when you feel extra congested. It's going to be tempting to think bigger hole=more air. But you want it to actually fit far enough in the BACK of your nose. If you adjust the hole to a size thats too large, you'll expand your nostrils, but the back of your nasal passage will still collapse and you'll still get that clogged feeling. It's much better to keep the rings small enough to fit all the way back there. 4) Don't be too forceful all the way back there or your nose will bleed like mine. 5) WASH THEM AND GET A SMALL BEDSIDE CONTAINER TO STORE THEM. Caring for these reminds me of my contact lenses, but in the opposite times of day. You want to clean them when you wake up and store them for the next night. Don't be lazy like me just taking them out and setting them aside somewhere on your bed to come back to later. It's gross and you'll end up losing them easily like I do. I'm telling you, it's tempting to just set them aside somewhere, but you really want to keep track of these. A few more things: It's a strange feeling at first, but the comfort of being able to breathe through your nose is so addicting. You'll find the tradeoff very satisfying. And when I mean it's addicting, it will be very addicting. Some days I wear these for hours and hours. I'm trying to work up the courage to wear this in public without a face mask. You'll end up buying these again one way or another. On nights where I forget to put these in, my body now still tries to breathe through my nose and I regret it. Finally, the major downside is the cost verses performance. IS it the best thing? Yes. Is the cost fair for 3? . 20 dollars an order adds up, but again... do you put a price on improved sleep? But the silicone-like material loses its rigidity after a day or two once it's "broken in." So the device itself gets more loose and bendy; which is not the optimal thing for something you want to stay in place. But so far, I'll continue to buy this. This combined with Alkalol Nasal Wash have had me these best nights sleep I've had in years. I often stop and ask myself, is this how "normal" people breathe??

I was using the cone style dilators prior to trying this different style. The cone type worked okay, but were uncomfortable. Despite being uncomfortable I wore them for the last few years. Recently after getting a defective batch of the cone style I went shopping and found these Mute Nasal Dilators. Pros: 1) These are a lot lighter, so light in fact that I forgot I had it in my nose and wore them until 1:30 in the afternoon. 2) These don't irritate my nose like the cone type did, they are soft enough that I don't notice them. 3) These work better to open my nostrils and help me breath. Cons: 1) The price is a bit absurd for what they are. They are too expensive. At half the price they would still be pushing it. 2) I wish they had an X-Large size, yes these fit and dilate the nostrils but even the large are not as effective as they could be for those of us who have larger nostrils. Summary: I recommend these. They helped with my issues and for that I recommend them.

I’m so deeply bummed about this. I don’t snore but these seemed like the best solution for my nasal valve collapse issues - I’ve tried a lot of different brands of strips and dilators - mostly cheap but they all fall flat despite being somewhat effective. So I talked myself into investing into something pricier thinking it would do what the cheaper versions don’t. Unfortunately, these turned out to be the worst so far and yet also…the best. And it sucks. I have small nostrils/nose which is my first issue with other brands usually - they’re all just too big for my nasal passages. So I got the small, hoping I could wear them through the nights, maybe even during exercise and at work. I just want to breathe, man… So, the adjustable straps on the design are made of a harder plastic but that’s not *really* the issue - the placement of the dilator seems to hit the inside of my nostril in a specific spot that feels like it’s stabbing/cutting into the skin - the ridged plastic that makes the dilator adjustable being what’s causing the pain. I was convinced I had to be wearing it wrong because the first hour was WONDERFUL but ever since then, a sore has formed from the adjuster and it is extremely painful to wear. Any and all adjustments don’t help, I’m wearing it correctly - it just hits badly in my nostrils, I think. I don’t know. It’s just especially upsetting because they DO work - I CAN breathe so much better if I have it in. To the point that I’ve worn it two nights despite the sore in my nose - which yeah, made it worse. But I know it’s not truly worth the sacrifice for how badly that sore feels. I don’t know the solution to this but I feel bad giving it any lower rating because I feel like it’s doing its job - it just happens to also hurt me a lot. It’s also hard to put in and I think the small may still be too big for my nostrils? I wish I knew. Just wanted to pass this onto anyone who may have been interested whose issues match up to mine - mild nasal collapse, small nose/nostrils. You might want to keep looking 😓

My ENT recommended this to me because I can rarely breathe due to my nostril passages being closed/slim. Those nose/tape strips dont work, and many times, I would have to use my thumb and index finger to widen my nostril openings. However, with these Mute devices, they now do that job. Since then, I now get about a 90-95% clear airway and breathing is easy now. It does work. There is a tiny amount of discomfort, but you get use to it. Things to keep in mind: 1. The size you order makes a big difference. I took a chance at medium and it was perfect. I did not even have to adjust the size. Just shoved it in my nose, and moved/shifted it around to get a good fit. I am not even sure if I shove it too far deep inside my nose. 2. Your nostrils will puff out a little when you insert these. 3. No need to worry about them falling out or even swallowing them was sleeping. They stay tight inside your nose. 4. This product does not permanently fix your breathing problem. It's just a temp fix to widen your nostril openings. If you have sinus issues such as internal inflamation..etc, this dialator really won't help. That's a medical condition that you need to address with a doctor. I only use this dialtor to widen my nostrils to breathe easier - mainly at night. Overall, a decent products that provides comfort to breathing better. 11/29/23: Update: This product still works great. I am still using the same piece since day 1. The other two are still in the package. You can keep using the same one, whereas they don't really wear out. Just make sure to rinse them with water after each use. Sometime next year, I will throw out the current one I am using, and use a new one from the existing pak. No issues at all with this product.

Bought this 3/15/24. The medium definitely fit best. I was able to snip the circles of the large one so I could use it too. Slightly less effective, but still effective and worthwhile. I thought about snipping the small one's in half to use, but I worry about breathing them in. Still thinking about using them some other way. I ordered the Medium pack on 5/9/24 and have lost/misplaced the previous ones and 2 of these as well and so here I am again ordering my 3rd 3-pack today. MUTE is the best so far of the 4 different types of nasal dilators I have tried and for which I gave it 5 stars relative to the others, especially considering they are not custom-made for my nose. Just solely based on their effectiveness for me, I would probably give them a 4.4. I tried both barrel types ("8 Pack Nose Vents Anti Snoring Devices") Both worked pretty decent, but the clear ones irritate my nose more. I can only wear them 2-3 nights in a row. Can't beat the price of $8 though even considering only 2 sizes of each fit my nose. But being thrifty, in this case I did cut the small pair in half which is necessary to go further back in my nose so they work. Being expanded barrels/cylinders, they won’t get sucked in. Again, not as effective, but definitely worthwhile when you lose them all the time. This package included: -4 various size white, solid, soft silicone ones and -4 various size clear medium silicone ones. I also tried the Air Max mediums (2 pack). They seemed to be just as effective as the Mute's, but I could only wear them 1 night at a time before they became very uncomfortable for me. Lost one of the 2 pairs these too so far. I have no idea how I can lose so many of these. There is the bed, the nightstand and the sink where I wash them, but never leave them. Do they stick to the sheets and then get lost in the washer? I don't know. Anybody else lose so many of these?
