When should ZzzQuil Sleep Nasal Strips be used?
If you feel like you're suffocating slightly when you lie down, if your nasal breathing becomes difficult when you fall asleep, or if your sleep is fragmented by night-time awakenings linked to respiratory discomfort, it's likely that nasal congestion is the cause. For some people, this phenomenon is accompanied by marked snoring, often reported by those around them. In this context, ZzzQuil nasal strips can provide a simple, non-medicated solution to restore natural breathing comfort.
These devices act locally, through a purely mechanical action, clearing the upper nasal passages as soon as they are applied. Thanks to their patented 4-point traction technology, they exert a gentle outward tension on the wings of the nose, spreading the nostrils in a subtle but effective way. This opening, comparable to a gentle nudge with each inhalation, immediately reduces resistance to airflow. The result: better oxygenation in the first few minutes, easier nasal breathing, and a more peaceful sleep.
Think of them as small, flexible arches that support the entrance to the respiratory tract, like invisible stakes that temporarily straighten the soft tissues responsible for obstruction. This discreet aid not only improves airflow, but also helps to alleviate snoring associated with poor nasal ventilation, without disturbing your sleep or that of your partner.
Their ergonomic design and sensitive-skin adhesive offer excellent tolerance, even with prolonged use. Their supple texture hugs the contours of the nose without tugging, so you can wear them comfortably all night long. This means they fit in perfectly with evening routines, with no added chemicals or side effects.
They can also be used on an occasional basis, during colds, periods of heavy pollination or when the nasal septum is slightly deviated. In these situations, they provide an immediate sensation of relief, without the need for conventional decongestant nasal sprays. You can even incorporate them into a relaxation or deep breathing routine before bedtime, such as cardiac coherence or meditation exercises.
To optimize their effect, we recommend cleansing the nasal cavities with an isotonic spray or thermal water before application. This not only mechanically clears the mucous membranes, but also ensures better adhesion of the strip throughout the night. The combination of these two gestures creates a natural synergy to improve night-time respiratory comfort.
How to use this nasal device
Directions for use :
- Wash nose with soap and water. Dry thoroughly. Make sure the nose is free of cream, oil or make-up. Remove the protective film and avoid touching the adhesive.
- Center the nasal strip on the bridge of the nose as shown in the image.

The strip is correctly positioned if the rounded tab centers the strip on the bridge of the nose. The flexible part of the strip should rest just above the nostrils.
To remove :
- To facilitate removal, moisten the nasal strip with lukewarm water.
