Stenting the nasal airway for maximizing inspiratory airflow: internal Max-Air Nose Cones versus external Breathe Right strip.

Raudenbush B1.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Several nasal dilator devices designed to stent the anterior nasal airway to increase peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) currently exist; however, comparisons of such devices are limited. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of two different nasal dilator devices, an internal device (Max-Air Nose Cones; Sanostec Corp., Beverly Farms, MA) and an external device (Breathe Right nasal strip; GlaxoSmithKline, Brentford, Middlesex, U.K.) on stenting of the anterior nasal airway to maximize PNIF.

METHODS:

Repeated measurements of PNIF were obtained in 30 individuals noting complaints of sleep-disordered breathing due to nasal breathing discomfort and nasal airway obstruction, both with and without the two different nasal dilator devices.

RESULTS:

A one-within analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed among the three conditions (control, Max-Air Nose Cones, and Breathe Right nasal strip), and a statistically significant effect was found (F[2,58] = 298.13; p< 0.00001). Tukey post hoc contrasts revealed that the control condition PNIF (66.07 L/min) was significantly lower than both the Max-Air Nose Cones (138.73 L/min) and the Breathe Right nasal strip (102.17 L/min) conditions. The Max-Air Nose Cone increased inspiratory airflow by 73 L/min, or a 110% improvement over baseline. In addition, the Max-Air Nose Cone condition PNIF was significantly higher than both the control condition and the nasal strip condition.

CONCLUSION:

Although both the Max-Air Nose Cones and the Breathe Right nasal strips increased PNIF from baseline, the Max-Air Nose Cones showed significantly greater efficacy at stenting the anterior nasal airway, providing twice the improvement in PNIF over baseline than did the Breathe Right nasal strips.

How to Determine Your Size

Follow our patented sizing guide to determine your most suitable size.

Measure your thumb as shown.

Measure width across your thumb as shown.

  1. Place your thumb on a ruler, fingerprint side down with the left edge of the thumb on the beginning of the ruler or 1 inch mark.
    (In the image shown above, the left side of the thumb is placed flush with the 1 inch mark on the ruler.)
  2. Measure across the widest part of the thumb as indicated by the black arrows above.
    (In the image above, the right side of the thumb measures about 7/8″, or less than one inch.)
  3. Use this gauge to select your size.
    (In the image above, based on a measure of 7/8″ and referencing the chart below, this thumb measures to a medium size.)

If your thumb measures:

3/4″ (.75 of an inch) or less, select the size small.

If your thumb measures more than 3/4″ to 1″ (.75 of an inch to one inch), select the size medium.

If your thumb measures more than 1″ (more than one inch), select the size large.

If you are right on the line between two sizes, we suggest ordering both sizes, trying them and then returning the ones that are not the correct size. Please see our guarantee for details.

PLEASE NOTE: sometimes nasal airways are not the same size and two sizes are necessary. So be sure to try each size in each airway.

CUSTOMIZING FIT:
MAX-AIR NOSE CONES are made connected to one another.
To achieve just the right fit and comfort, separate them from one another and fit them individually.

Custom Sizing for Deviated Septum and Nasal Airway Collapse

Mixing two different sizes may be needed for deviated septum or nasal valve collapse, if one nasal airway or nostril is smaller or narrower than the other.

If this is your situation, you will find it more suitable to use two different sizes Cones to treat this problem. Simply determine the size that you measure to normally, as indicated above, and then select that size for your larger nostril, and the next smaller size for your other smaller or narrower nostril.

Purchase the two sizes, and use one size in one nostril and the other size in the other nostril. Once again, swivel for your most comfortable fit and best angle to maximize flow volume.

How to Choose Your Most Suitable Squeezieness-Rating: Soft, Softer, or Softest

All of our products are soft, and there should never be any discomfort when using our nasal cones. That said every person has a preference when it involves the softness that their nose likes.

The new SOFT, Max-Air Nose Cones Performance are designed to stay put so that you don’t have to. This product is soft but it is made with our firmest material, so the fit and feel is a little more dynamic to insure a secure fit no matter what level of activity for which you use them.

The original, SOFTER, white Sinus Cones may be best for those nights when nasal allergy, sinus or cold congestion is severe and extra nasal airway support is necessary, when snoring is loud and pervasive, or when nasal obstruction from a collapsed side-wall is present.

The mildest, SOFTEST, clear, Max-Air Nose Cones are preferred, especially for mild deviated septum, in combination with CPAP or oral appliances for mild sleep apnea, to stop snoring and night time dry mouth, or anytime extra help is needed for sleep breathing relief.

If you are undecided, order a selection. Try them out, decide which is more suitable for your situation, and return the other set for a free exchange.

    They are soft and fit well. However, my nose can still be blocked due to sinuses, and I need to take them out, blow my nose and reinsert. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The nose cones can easily fall out if you move around too much in bed, either by the blanket or if you accidentally touch your nose. I think it’s a good design and it should work under normal circumstances but my sinuses are a bit severe so it wasn’t working 100%. (I have deviated septum). Good product to try

    • Nose News –

      Hi – thank you for your review. This is the perfect explanation for why we offer a comprehensive selection of nasal cones. Instead of the Max-Air Nose Cones, your sinus problems require the slightly firmer support of our Sinus Cones. The Sinus Cones are designed specifically for more severe congestion and airway obstruction, the Max-Air Nose Cones are too soft for the severity of your congestion. We recommend that you exchange the Max-Air Nose Cones for the Sinus Cones, which will perform as you desire. As always we recommend that you give our tech support a call for assistance selecting the appropriate product for your nasal airway problems.

    I got these Nose Cones for my brother who has a collapsed nostril after surgery to remove cancer from base of nose. He loves these, they have worked better than anything else he has tried. His nostril seems to be regaining its shape so hopefully he will be able to avoid further surgery. Great product.

    Max-Air Nose Cones were suggested by my ENT a few years back. I found your company and loved the fact that they are made in the USA and so close to home. From the first night I wore them I felt so much better and could sleep easier. I did lapse in replacing them when they were worn out, although remembering how good they made me feel after a good nights sleep I finally ordered again! Thank you so much for such a great product and aid in good healthy sleep!!

    These are great! I have been sleeping better with hardly any snoring and not waking up with a dry mouth in the morning. My nose seems to stay clearer during the day as well. I use the small size and they fit perfectly and stay put all night. Thank you!

    I LIKE YOUR PRODUCT ITS EASY TO WEAR AND IT WORKS GREAT, BUT AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT IT KEPT SLIPPING OUT AND I MEASURED LIKE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO DO. I MEASURE 3/4 OF AN INCH SO I GOT A SMALL. SO I DONT KNOW, I WENT BACK TO THE WALGREENS NASAL STRIPS THEY WORK ITS JUST THAT I WANTED SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE SO OFTEN. DO I NEED TO TRY A LARGER SIZE?????

    • Nose News –

      Thank you for your review. If you have tried all of the trouble-shooting tips that are described in our instruction booklet and the small size Max-Air Nose Cones continue to dislodge, we suggest either trying the small size in the Sinus Cones or the medium size in the Max-Air Nose Cones. If you purchased the Nose Cones within the last 30days, you may return them for a one-time free exchange to another size or type. Please contact our tech support directly for assistance.

    I am a new user of the nasal dialators and an oral appliance for snoring issues. I switch back and forth between Max-Air Nose Cones and the Mute brand. So far the Max-Air Nose Cones are winning because they are more comfortable. I am aware of the sound of my outward breathing with the Nose Cones which doesn’t occur with the Mutes but I have decided I will get used to it with the Nose Cones. I use Snore Lab app which monitors all night and there is definitely improvement and my husband says it is now tolerable to sleep with me. Hope this helps, good luck!

    The Max-Air Nose Cones didn’t work for me, only because I have a very difficult deviated septum. I had to return them for a refund. Customer service was prompt at giving me a refund on my purchase. The product is excellent even though my septum kept them from working

    • Nose News –

      Hi Thank you for your review and explanation of your situation. Usually with our selection of products and sizes, we can resolve airway obstruction of even the most deviated nasal septums. However, there are situations where the deviation or damage is so severe that surgery is the only option. We recommend contacting our tech support for expert assistance if your deviation is severe.

    My husband had Moh’s surgery on his nose and his right nostril would not open fully after the surgery healed. He heard about your Nose Cones and so I ordered some. He has claustrophobia so he cannot use it continually, but it does help him be able to breathe more normally. So thankful for your product. Only drawback was having 2 connected. He had to cut them apart and leave enough lead to be able to keep from getting the Nose Cone stuck in his nostril.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Thank you for your review. The Nose Cones, even when worn separately, should fit securely in the nasal airway. If the Cones “get stuck” in his nostril, then a larger size is necessary.

    I have been wearing Max Air Nose Cones for 10 years. I use them for anatomical nasal obstruction that contributes to snoring. They work wonderfully. I really can’t imagine sleeping without them ever. Sometimes (maybe once per week) they fall out of my nose overnight, but often my breathing wakes me up and I put them right back in. Easy breathing without medicine is fabulous!

    I was presented with three options to address my deviated septum. Two surgical options, and using Sinus Nose Cones. My doctor gave me a free set of Max-Air Nose Cones and using them at night is all I need to solve my problem. I immediately ordered and received an additional pack. Note that it may take trying more than one size to get the right fit.

    I am very happy with the way the Nose Cones fit and I feel great relief in my breathing. They don’t stop my snoring at all, but I can breathe much more easily. I will definitely continue to use them.

    • Nose News –

      Hi – thank you for your review. Snoring can be complicated to resolve, but in order for any solution to work you have to be able to easily and fully inhale through your nose during sleep. So continue to use the Nose Cones and consider adding an oral appliance that a sleep medicine dentist can custom make for you.

    Uncomfortable and didn’t help. Returned.

    • Nose News –

      Hi – thanks for your review. If the product is uncomfortable that indicates that the size is too large and a smaller size is needed. The Nose Cones are available in many sizes to fit almost every nasal situation. Please give us a call for assistance.

  21. Anonymous –

    The cones improve air flow when I put them on, BUT they slip out of my nose every night. I separated them, same problem. My dog chewed up one last night!
    I am very hesitant to try the larger size, because the medium fit all the way in my nostrils and are already slightly uncomfortable. I am even more hesitant to try the sinus cones because they are stiffer.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Thank you for your review. If the medium size Max-Air Nose Cones fit all the way into your nose but are slightly uncomfortable that indicates that they are a size too large and the small size is recommended. The small in the Max-Air Nose Cones Performance and the Sinus Cones are slightly firmer, and will fit like a half size smaller than the medium size. We suggest that you make an exchange for the medium to the small size in the Max-Air Nose Cones Performance version; or call our tech support for further assistance.

    I’ve been using these for years, on recommendation by an ENT after I had three surgeries to “fix” a deviated septum. I still have mild sleep apnea, but with Max-Air Cones, I breathe easier at night, snore less, and feel more refreshed in the morning.

    I am an ear, nose and throat physician and I have recommended the Nose Cones or Sinus Cones for my patients with any combination of weak nasal valves, deviated nasal septum and enlarged turbinates. They often save these patients from having nasal surgery to correct their obstruction. I also use them myself. They are comfortable, stay in place all night and allow me to sleep more soundly. I highly recommend them over such products as external nasal strips.

    • Nose News –

      Hi – thank you for your review. If the Cones are too small, they will fill the airway rather than open it. Why don’t you return the Cones for a larger size? If you were trying on shoes, wouldn’t you try a larger size if they didn’t fit?

    I HIGHLY recommend these for anyone with nasal obstruction!! A plastic surgeon suggested I try these after informing me that correcting my deviated septum would require a 5-6 hour open surgery including using cartilage from my rib and a skin graft – NOT what I was prepared to hear! These Nose Cones literally saved me from having surgery and allow me to now breathe easily at night through both sides of my nose. I wish I had known about them years ago.

    Very disappointed with customer support. It appears that this is a small company with limited staff, but not to return calls at all is not acceptable. I was about to send my product back to exchange it for a larger size when I read the fine print on the warrantee stating that the warrantee must be exercised within thirty days. Since I called on the twenty ninth day I wanted to know if I was wasting my time and money trying to switch sizes. You have lost a customer.

      Hi – thank you for your review. Sometimes when first acclimating to using the Nose Cones, you may remove them during sleep because the feeling is novel.

      Hi – thank you for your review. Sizing is important. If the Nose Cones are too small, they will not open the airway nor stay put, so be sure to reference our sizing gauge to determine the most suitable size for your nose.

    Having tried nasal strips and suchlike I discovered Max-Air Nose Cones. I have used the small size for a number of years now, (for a deviated septum on one nostril only) and they work great.
    I live in NZ so can only get them from either the USA or Australia. In terms of delivery, the US is better than OZ because the last time I got them from OZ I had to get them sent to a friend there to forward them on to me. However, the cost is about the same.

      Hi – thank you for your review. Sometimes, snoring requires both nasal and oral intervention. Being able to breathe more fully through your nose is the critical first step in stopping snoring. If nasal breathing relief doesn’t fully address the snoring, we recommend that you see a sleep medicine dentist for an oral appliance to be worn with the Nose Cones.

    Though there is an increase in air flow, unfortunately, the Max-Air Nose Cones bruises the inner lining of the nose. It does cause stuffiness and blockage and I have to remove the cones and it goes away. BTW, I do not have sinus problems.

    The increase in airflow is immediately noticeable after inserting the Nose Cones. It took a few tries to find a way to insert them that would keep them in all night. They haven’t completely eliminated stuffiness or morning dry mouth. When a nostril gets stuffy I generally take out the Cones for the remainder of the night. Overall, they’re a help and worth the price.

      Hi- Thank you for your review. Based on your review, you may be better served with the Sinus Cones. The Sinus Cones are soft but a little firmer and in your situation hold the airway open better, which will provide the needed relief.

    I have been using my nose cones for about a week. I am breathing easier and sleeping better. I’m very pleased.

    Nose Cone was recommended to me by my ENT . I had a nasal obstruction and nose strips actually caused my skin to slough when removed. I have been using the Nose Cones for almost a month and find them very flexible and comfortable.. I highly recommend them to anyone that is using strips. I also like that they are reusable!

    Tried other generic brands of nasal cones and this Max-Air product is clearly superior. Very happy with them!

    Very good product and shipment time was great. I, however, returned them because my nasal blockage was further into my sinus than the Nose Cones reached. At first I had a little difficulty getting them to stay in, because I use a full-face CPAP mask. After working with them a little, I was able to get them to stay in. Just didn’t work for me.

    • Nose News –

      Hi – thank you for your review and very helpful explanation. The Nose Cones are often a very good solution for nasal obstruction inside CPAP. Occasionally, they aren’t compatible. In other cases such as yours, they help to diagnose the location of your obstruction so that an Ear, Nose & Throat surgeon can better address the problem.

    They seem to reduce my mouth breathing significantly, and thus reducing snoring. A success!

    I had not been breathing properly since I fell and messed up my nasal septum. The doctor prescribed these Max-Air Nose Cones and I immediately breathed incredibly well. Sleeping is a pleasure now….in fact, I could not believe how much air I could breathe after all this time. It is truly an incredible product.

    I cant live without them. They are the only cones on the market that work..and I have literally tried them all!! The reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is that they do fall out during the night which wakes me up and I have to go looking for them. It would be nice if they fix this one issue. Otherwise, I hope they never go out of business. Great company and suburb product!!!

    They did not work for me. My ENT recommended them after turbinate surgery. They continued to fall out during the night. I bought the medium perhaps that was the wrong size?? Probably need smaller. I called customer service it sounded like the return policy was going to be difficult and expensive … paying shipping both ways and still may not be right.

    Max-Air Nose Cones help me breathe. I still snore, though, I’m sure I need surgery for that. Comfortable enough for me, my nose isn’t small. I secure with a little bandage tape, because they tend to come off with all my flopping around at night. I’m a side and tummy sleeper. Customer gained. Thank you:)

      Hi – thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, we suggest that you try our slightly firmer Sinus Cones product to better resolve your snoring. Some nasal airways need the slightly firmer stenting action of the Sinus Cones in order to open the passageway more fully. The Cones should stay put even if you are an active sleeper. Please call our tech support for assistance in resolving this problem.

    What better review can I write but to say THEY WORK! They are not uncomfortable, stay in place, and allow me to breathe freely all night. No more sticky adhesive! Just pop them in and feel the difference. My only gripe is the price – if they were less expensive, the nasal strip companies would be out of business.

    Very expensive compared to similar products. Tip of cone is too blunt for comfortable insertion. Aren’t effective at all.

    • Nose News –

      HI – thank you for your review. It sounds as though you may have our products confused with an imported version. The ends of our Cones are not blunt. Rather, they are ergonomically shaped for comfort and easy insertion. Please call our tech support for assistance.

    I was anxious to try the Max-Air Nose Cones as a last resort as I consistently snore myself awake at night. The product is well made and was easily accomodated. Customer service was superlative. Unfortunately for me personally my issue was not resolvable with the Air Cones as previous reconstructive nasal surgery (7 years ago) has resulted in collapsed upper turbinates which the Air Cones will not sufficiently reach far enough to open. They were definitely worth a try,though.

    • Nose News –

      Hi – Thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, the Sinus Cones may be a better option for you. The material of the Sinus Cones is a little firmer and can hold the airway open more resiliently in cases where there is more and higher nasal collapse. Please call our tech support for assistance.

    The medium size Nose Cones worked really well to minimize sleep apnea symptoms. I went from 2 hrs of sleep at night to 5-6 hrs, on the very first night that I started using the Cones. As long as I’m using the Nose Cones, I don’t worry about sleep apnea symptoms. Definitely plan on ordering more Cones in the near future.

I’m buying a multi-year supply just to be sure I always have them handy!

      Hi Anonymous – thank you for your review. You may be experiencing nasal obstruction that is located in the posterior airway. That area of obstruction is less common than nasal obstruction located in the anterior airway, which is the type of obstruction that the Nose Cones relieve. We always recommend calling our tech support to discuss your situation; we may be able to offer you another product option.

    Definitely opens up my airway at night. Very comfortable. I hardly know they are there. I sleep on my left side and have a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, so this makes it easy to breath when I am on my left side.

    I am not able to use this product. I tried two sizes and they keep falling. It did not feel right for me having something in my nose all the time. Also I think it is not the right solution for people who sleep on the side, like myself.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Anonymous – thank you for your review. In this situation, we recommend that you contact our tech support to assist with your fit issue. When sized correctly, the Cones will stay put when you sleep on your side or back. Separating the Cones and wearing them individually, is also suggested. Wearing the Cones individually improves fit and retention, especially if you suffer with a deviated septum. We hope that this is helpful.

    I am a completely changed sleeper due to the Max-air nose cones!! My wife told me I would gasp and she would think I had stopped breathing at times. My bed time ritual was to apply breath rights, spray with prescription Nasonex, spray with saline solution and then Vicks up. I would still wake up one or two times a night and have to pee thinking it was a prostrate issue. After less than a week I stopped the breath rights, prescription Nasonex and stopped the gasping for air, after 2 weeks I stopped the saline spray and Vicks and now after 3 weeks I sleep through the night 8 to 8-1/2 hours without waking up and having to go pee. Your product is great and very inexpensive compared to what I was having to do prior to my finding your product, where have you been that it took so long for me to find it. Love IT! Thanks for making my life so much better. Jim V

    I love my MaxAir NoseCones. I have had allergies all of my life. In addition, I took allergy shots for years. My nose and ability to breath better at night has increased tremendously. I wish they had been invented years ago. Another important thing is they have eliminated me from having to have surgery.

    Wish I had found these sooner. I have a deviated septum that a specialist recommended surgery for. It was becoming extremely difficult to breathe at night when I would lay down, especially during allergy season. These have made all the difference in the world. They are not bothersome and have only fallen out a couple of times in the year that I have been using them. Would highly reccomend. Don’t know about snoring. Sorry.

    These have worked great. I wish I had been aware of them years ago. Finally Googled what can you use to keep your nostrils open at night. Wahlah, it gave me your website. I am finally getting a good nights sleep without waking up due to my collapsed nostril.

  94. Melisa P. (verified owner) –

    An ENT suggested I try these, after having 3 surgeries over 12 years to “correct” a deviated septum. (Narrator: It’s still not “correct”.) I was having problems breathing at night, but didn’t want yet another surgery. These are a little non-invasive miracle! I can sleep on either side and breathe well, and better yet for my partner, I don’t snore! I sleep much better and feel more rested. A great product!!

  95. lmr (verified owner) –

    One nostril collapses when I sleep on my side making it difficult to breathe freely. These nose cones were recommended by my ENT doctor, and she gave me a sample. I have not stopped wearing them. When I open the last box, I immediately order more. Our security system servicer came the other day to replace a battery. I didn’t even realize until an hour after he left that I was still wearing the nose cones. Can’t imagine what he must have thought, but it certainly speaks to their comfort.

  96. stephen wade (verified owner) –

    The softer ones work well for me, think I may order a set of the firmer ones to help if I get a cold or stuffed up. The softer ones are very easy to use and get use to and I’m get a better nights sleep.

  97. Tim Lichman (verified owner) –

    It seems kike a simple solution for my deviated septum and limited breathing capacity but what a difference they make. I wish I would have heard about these years ago. My ENT doctor recommended them to me and I’m glad he did. I have ordered two sets so I have them available. Great product, great results.

  98. RS (verified owner) –

    These are working well for me. Next time I order, I will try Large first. Measurement tool said I am a medium and they seem fine, but if I put them all the way in I seem to get a little irritation, so I leave them somewhat protruding. Seems to work fine but I wonder if large wouldn’t work better.

    Sizing aside, I’m glad I purchased these. I have a deviated septum and the discomfort is borderline. Usually I have decent airflow but I do have some snoring. What I’ve found since I started using these is no snoring (knock on wood) and definitely my nose feels much more clear in the morning, no period of waiting for one nostril to clear up. When I think about how much clearer I’m breathing in the mornings after using these, I have to believe I am getting much better sleep through the night.

    If you have a deviated septum and haven’t tried a solution like this yet, try this out. They’re very easy to keep clean, fairly comfortable, and definitely provide better airflow.

      Hi Donald – thank you for submitting your review, about the medium Max-Air Nose Cones that you ordered being too small. We understand your reluctance to order again because you are unsure of your correct size.

      There are lots of noses of many sizes and shapes. Most people size according to our guide (85%) but there are exceptions. That is precisely why we offer two satisfaction guarantees; either a one-time free exchange to another size or type, or a refund of your purchase. The Nose Cones are a medical device that is worn inside the body, and sometimes assistance is needed to sort through a fit issue.

      If the medium size is too small, you may return the Cones to us and exchange them for a size large. If you have decided that this is not the product for you, you may return the Cones and we will refund your purchase price.

      We hope that this information is of help. We offer phone support if you would like further assistance to solve your airway issue. Please give our tech support a call.

    Much better than the other ones on the market..softer and non irritating to my nasal passages. I separated them, as my right side seems to clog up more than the left side due to allergy/ deviated septum., this seems to balance out.They really do help at night for a better night sleep

    These Nose Cones did not work for me. One side kept slipping out. Also I should have ordered the Sinus Cones. I tried for 3 nights in a row. Just didn’t work for me. I cannot use nose strips because they tear the skin off my nose. I really would like to try the Sinus Cones.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Bonnie – thank you for your review.

      Based on your feedback that one side slips out, it sounds as though you have a deviated septum. A deviated septum means that one airway is a different size or angle than the other.

      To solve a problem with a deviated septum, we recommend 1) separating the Cones and fitting them individually. Fitting them individually allows your to insert and adjust each Cones to just the right angle for each airway, so that they “seat” correctly. If you try this and one Cone continues to dislodge we suggest trying the Sinus Cones, instead. The Sinus Cones are slightly firmer and so fit like a half size larger, which usually solves the problem.

      We offer a 30-day, one-time free exchange if you want to try the Sinus Cones. Please contact our tech support for assistance.

    I’m off the BiPap and the oxygen at night. I still needed something to open up my nose. I told my doctor the nasal strips practically peeled off my skin. He showed me the Nose Cones. I love them, they are amazing. I am sharing the information with my friends.

  114. Nick –

    I bought and tried these based on my otolaryngologist’s recommendation as a possible solution to snoring, mild sleep apnea, and more generally to help with breathing at night. They worked a charm the first night (much to my wife’s delight), but less well on subsequent tries. The thumb-test (and Dr.’s suggestion) pointed me towards a medium so I think I have the correct size. However, I found them to be not quite comfortable enough to wear throughout the night which was a shame as they did indeed help with the breathing – if not the snoring…

    • Nose News –

      Hi Nick – thank you for your review. Glad to hear that the Nose Cones worked like a charm the first night. That means that the nasal dilation will work for you. Based on your comment that they were uncomfortable, that indicates that size is too large. There should never be any discomfort when using our products. We recommend that you return your size medium Max Air Nose Cones and exchange them for the size small in the Sinus Cones.

  115. Jennifer Brauner (verified owner) –

    After what I would call a failed sinus surgery, my doctor mentioned these. They work very well and help me breathe much better while sleeping. I wish there was something similar to these that could be used all day long that isn’t visible…aka they would have to be placed farther up the nasal cavity. But at least now I can sleep better at night, although after the first few nights, they now slip out of my nose frequently. I have a tiny nose so the small is what I purchased.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Jennifer – thank you for your review. Based on your feedback it sounds as though the improved airflow from using the Max-Air Nose Cones has reduced the swelling/congestion in your nose. When this occurs we recommend exchanging the Cones for the size small in the Sinus Cones product, which will fit a little larger because the material is a little firmer. Please call our tech support for assistance.

    I was told to buy these by my surgeon after nose surgery. I ordered the medium after using the sizing guide on the website, my thumb measurement definitely indicated I needed a medium. However the medium was far to large and I wasn’t able to exchange it because I had already opened it and used it in my nose. I then had to order a set of small size cones. The small ones work very well and are comfortable and do a great job.

      Hi Sandie – thank you for your review. Sometimes the sizing varies a bit after surgery, which is why we offer the 30-day, one-time, free exchange to another size or type of our products.

    Max Air Nose Cones have been a life changer for me! I went through years of not being able to sleep well because I have a severely deviated septum. I could only sleep on my left side so it was also affecting my shoulder and my hip. Now I was in pain and couldn’t breath. I finally was referred to an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist. He told me that I was definitely a candidate for surgery. I said, “I wish there was some kind of a little basket that I could put into my nostril to help me breath”. The doctor said, “There is!”, and he gave me the name “Max-Air Nose Cones”. I have been using these miraculous little cones for years now and it’s allowed me to finally can get a good nights sleep. This product saved me from a painful surgery. It also works well when you have a cold to open up your stuffy nose. I have tried the less expensive versions but have never found a better product. I swear by max-air nose cones and will be a customer for life! And, another plus…they are MADE IN THE USA!

  119. Michael (verified owner) –

    This has made a real difference for me. I don’t even know the product is there after a few moments, and i am able to breathe easily all night long. No more nose strips, no more sore skin or visible dent in my nose, just the ability to breathe like a normal person. Highly recommended.

  120. Stephen French –

    Easy to insert. Immediate opening of breathing channels. Very comfortable. Was able to sleep right away with the cones installed. Had to remove at mealtime because my nose tends to generate excess mucous when I eat. Easy to clean. Good product overall.

    • Nose News –

      HI L.G. C. – thank you for your feedback. If you need a bit of retraining to eliminate your mouth-breathing, you may also consider placing a small strip of surgical tape across your lips. This will make it easier to prevent mouth-breathing and not cause your jaw discomfort from the chin strap.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Joe – Thank you for your review. We thought that you might want to know that there should never be an discomfort when using our products. If there is discomfort that indicates that the size is too large. If the size is too large then they will not fit in far enough to open the airway as needed. Please contact our tech support for assistance in exchanging your product for a more suitable size.

    I suffer from a deviated septum on both sides of my nose.
    My left nostril always seemed narrower than my right.
    Recently, I was diagnosed with severe valve collapse.
    It affected my left nostril to the point that when I inhaled, that side closed completely and no air got in. My right nostril is also restricted, so I’m something of a ‘mouth breather’ (ugh!)
    I finally saw an ENT and he recommended these nasal cones, but he said I needed the Large size (he didn’t have the thumb guide size chart).
    Thankfully, after receiving the Large I ordered, I was able to exchange them for Medium in white (with outside clips) and in clear (since you get 2 sets with clear, I trimmed one pair and left the center piece on the 2nd pair).
    I even sent away for another set of white in the Small size since I fall just past the Small on the thumb guide size chart.
    Ever since the 1st night, I’ve felt such relief and I wear them as often as possible, not just for sleep!
    I was and am SO glad I don’t have to undergo surgery to fix this condition… I LOVE this product!

    I have used them for a number of years now. They are comfortable and give me refreshing sleep. I even wear them while exercising and they improve my exercise ability as well.

    I have been buying these for about 5 years now and I actually use them in combination with a mandibular advancement device (Somnodent). They work very well and are better than anything similar on the world market. Recommended.

    I have tried many different brands of nasal dilators but none come close to working as well as the Max-Air Large clear.

  130. Tim (verified owner) –

    I have a deviated septum and had trouble breathing through my nose when I slept. I’d wake up with a very dry mouth and throat from breathing through my mouth all night. Also, would snore and occasionally would wake up with headaches. These things work great! All those issues are gone, didn’t want to get a CPAP machine and glad I tried these first.

  131. Arthur (verified owner) –

    The max nose cones didn’t open my air way at all. I am returning them in exchange for the sinus cones.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Arthur – thank you for your review. That is just what we would recommend as well, based on your feedback. Please feel free to give our tech support a call for further assistance.

  132. Mike (verified owner) –

    The cones do permit additional breathing ability but not by that much…. nasal passages that are really “stuffed” are not relieved, but the cones allow additional breathing in the other nostril with that cone in place… still happy with purchase…. every little bit of inhaled air helps !!!

    • Nose News –

      Hi Mike – thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, it sounds as though you would be better suited to the Sinus Cones product, which is slightly firmer and so holds the airway open more effectively when nasal obstruction is more severe. We offer a 30-day, one-time, free exchange should you choose to return the Max-Air Nose Cones for the Sinus Cones.

  133. Michele (verified owner) –

    When my doctor told me that my deviated septum was somehow blocking both sides of my nose (!), I did some research online about surgical treatment, and I came upon a couple of articles about nose cones, both of which mentioned Max-Air as an especially good brand. I was a bit doubtful, but willing to try. And I have to say, those funny little cones have made a world of difference! I really feel like there’s a lot more air coming in when I inhale, and I love it. I expected to have trouble getting used to them, but in fact, after the first 5 minutes, I forgot I had them in. The other day at breakfast, my husband gently pointed out that I still hadn’t taken them out! Long story short, I’m REALLY glad that I bought them, and I plan to order more when it’s time to retire my current ones.

  134. Jacquelene Herring (verified owner) –

    These cones are a choke. I had to continually shift them in my nose. I tried my best to give it a chance for weeks and I had sleepless nights because they would be uncomfortable. One side of my nose felt raw and sore. I had to stop using them.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Jacquelene – thank you for your review. Based on your feedback the small Max-Air Nose Cones are too large for your airway. There should NEVER be any discomfort when wearing our products. If there is any discomfort, discontinue use and contact our tech support for assistance determining your correct size. In your case the X-S in the sport performance version is recommended, if you would like to return the small Max-Air Nose Cones in exchange for the size X-S. Or you may return the smalls for a refund of your purchase prices, within 30 days of the purchase date.

    Very pleased-fits perfectly.

  136. Michael (verified owner) –

    I like them. I think I ordered a size too big…should have gone with the medium. They are a bit of a challeng to insert but they do work.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Michael – thank you for your review. Inserting the Max-Air Nose Cones should be easy. Based on your feedback, it sounds as though the size is too large. We suggest that you return them for a free one-time exchange to a smaller size.

  137. Diana (verified owner) –

    When I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, I decided to look into a dental appliance instead of CPAP machine, since I’m already compliant with a nightguard. During my fitting, the sleep dentist recommended that I also use the Max-Air Nose Cones as part of the program, and he sized me for them. While I’m waiting for the dental appliance (takes 2-3 weeks for delivery), these nose cones have helped my breathing with a deviated septum. I’m having dreams every night, which means I’ve been getting more REM sleep. This also means I’ve been getting into deep stages of NREM sleep in order to get there. I believe Stage 3 of NREM is where the body repairs and regrows tissues, builds bone and muscle and strengthens the immune system. Looking forward to using the dental appliance to assist my narrow airway to breathe even better while I sleep.

  138. Janice D. (verified owner) –

    Did not help as much as I had hoped. I have a deviated septum and a nasal polyp and that side needs the most help and I just don’t see a difference.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Janice – thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, your nasal obstruction would be considered more severe. For relief of more severe nasal airway obstruction, the Sinus Cones are suggested. They are slightly firmer (although still soft), and so, do a better job of holding the airway open when it is obstructed by a more severely deviated septum. That said please note that nasal polyps are an entirely different type of obstruction. Usually nasal polyps require surgery to remove them. Occasionally we help relieve nasal polyps. More typically, you will need to consult an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist for relief of nasal polyposis.

  139. Ian McLean (verified owner) –

    I`ve been using these for a few years now. I tried other cheaper brands but that amounted to throwing my money away. These are made with just the right material to be easy on the nose and for maximum staying power. They last a long time too. I would go crazy without them. Breathing easy is a way of life for me now.

  140. Kathy (verified owner) –

    I LOVE these. A doctor suggested trying them because I’m a mouth breather. I find sleeping so much better when I can breathe through my nose

  141. Joan Karrie (verified owner) –

    The Nose Cones are very comfortable. I prefer to wear them separately. They do help my breathing problem during the day, although I only wear them at home. I cannot wear them with my CPAP partial-face-mask, but I don’t have any trouble at night anyway. The carrying case is convenient.

  142. trackert10 (verified owner) –

    I received my nose cones and tired them lat night. Material is excellent and comfortable. I went by the sizing chart and purchased the Large size. Slightly too big, not sure the Med would fit well. I also use a cpap machine and mask. Did not get as good a sleep as expected but could be my apnea is worse. Gonna try using them only when I exercise. Cpap works fine for sleep.

    • Nose News –

      Hi Tracker10 – thank you for your feedback. As you know, we offer a 30-day refund or free one-time free exchange to another size or type. If the large are too large then we suggest returning them for an exchange to the medium size. Or for more sizing assistance, give our tech support a call.

  143. Wendy Shay (verified owner) –

    These are more comfortable than any other product I’ve used! I may need to get a size larger for one nostril but so far they work great. I use these with my cpap mask and love the comfort. No septum discomfort.

  144. Allan (verified owner) –

    I switched from adhesive nose strips to Max-Air Nose Cones and couldn’t be happier! I only use one at a time, so the package of 4 last quite a long time. After a few nights uses you don’t even know they are in your nose. And I breathe much better with nose cones than nose strips. And they are more economical for me.
    I use the medium clear size.

  145. Doug W. (verified owner) –

    Using your sizing chart, my thumb print was right on the line between medium and large. Tried the large first – slightly too big. Then ordered the medium size which fit much better. I decided not to exchange the large, in case I wanted to try them again later. These soft cones are comfortable to wear, and really do make a difference in my ability to breathe through my nose instead of leaving my mouth open all night. I’ve just been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, and will go through the overnight sleep test shortly. I will ask if I can use these cones during the test.

  146. Jason (verified owner) –

    I suffer from extremely loud snoring, so far they seem to be working but hard to tell as I am sleeping…hahaha. My girlfriend hasn’t noticed me snoring (she used to wake up every night), except for a few times and that was most likely due to them falling out. That is my only issue right now, just about every night at least one of them fall out of my nose and end up searching the bed.

    While I love your product, I am baffled at how a product can be ordered while it is out of stock. I ordered two pair of nose cones and one pair of sport nose cones. I never received any notification about a back order at any time throughout ordering or while my order was in transit being shipped to me. I did however receive a hand written note on my invoice inside the package stating back order. I did not however, receive a time frame of when they would be in stock, or when or even if I would be receiving the item on back order. This is very unprofessional and I am questioning whether your company is one I can do business with.

    Nice to have a non-pharmacologic alternative to nighttime nasal congestion during allergy season.

  178. Keith (verified owner) –

    The cones are OK for comfort but don’t help open the airway further except in the front part of the nose, so they do not help with obstruction further back from night-time swelling of the turbinates.
    Also if ordered outside the US there is a $14+ shipping fee and Sanostec order you to follow the delivery tracking from then on. 1 The delivery tracking eventually said delivered but it was NOT delivered, which caused me hassle. Turned out it was delivered to local post office, not to me yet! 2. There was an additional fee to pay for customs + a handling fee because the customs was due (£11.63). Sanostec should pay the customs in advance. Or at the VERY least make it clear in advance that a customs AND handling would need to be paid by me. These 2 bits of plastic cost me a fortune

    Recovering from deviated septum surgery. One side is still slightly blocked. The nose cone is working perfectly to help widen the blocked passage. Comfortable, easy to use. No bothersome strips that stick or irritate my skin.

  182. Dmitry L. (verified owner) –

    The cones are comfortable, and the fit is as specified in the guide posted on the site and included with the cones themselves. The device stays in place relatively well throughout night’s sleep. That being said, the improvement was marginal at best. I snore nearly every night, and have tried many OTC options. None really offer a dramatic difference if any at all, these cones included. Obviously your mileage may vary. Lastly, $27 (price to include shipping) for just two pairs of cones which have a limited lifetime (the box specifies around a month to a month and a half of nightly use) seems excessive to me personally, though may be sensible enough for others. At that price point, the cones may be worth a single try, but I don’t see myself ordering again; else seeking cheaper comparable alternatives on massive online retail site (you know which). HI DIMITRY – THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW. IF THE CONES ARE SIZED CORRECTLY, AS YOU INDICATED, BUT THE AIRWAY IMPROVEMENT IS NOT SIGNIFICANT WITH OUR SOFTEST MAX-AIR NOSE CONES MATERIAL, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU EXCHANGE THEM FOR OUR SLIGHTLY FIRMER SINUS CONES.

    We often think of partial obstructive apnea as occurring due to the tounge or oral palette. I had several sleep studies and a failed surgery to correct a mild deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. I also purchased a custom oral device for a grand, and it hurt my TMJ. Pills don’t help obstruction, only turn one into a zombie. After 7 years of no advice, bad advice, and wrong turns, I have discovered a key to really feeling better. Interesting to note: my chronic morning sinus drainage problem disappeared after the first night. It seems having narrow nasal passages actually triggers chronic nasal drainage due to the irritation caused by the struggle to breathe. The test- can you inhale through each nasal passage without it collapsing or being blocked? If so you may want to try the nasal cones. I am considering getting the hidden day use ones to see how that improves my well-being.

    I am unhappy, however, at having to pay an additional £11.70 due to changes in the VAT regulations. This probably means that I will no longer be purchasing the nose cones from you.

    They help; however, I have a deviated septum, so they aren’t great, but I intend to keep them and use them as a backup, I hope the Sinus Cones work better. I dropped down to a small in those, but returned them to you on Monday, 9/26/16, for a medium. When I saw your email I thought you were emailing to inform me you had rec’d the small sinus cones and were sending the replacement medium ones.

Sleep Apnea is an air flow blockage while Hypopnea is shallow breathing & Max-Air Nose Cones solved this problem.

    I have a deviated septum and decided to purchase the nose cones to help with nose breathing in the evening and night. They took a few days to get used to them, but I feel they help a lot. I don’t feel tired in the morning. I feel like I have more energy when I wake up.

  247. Tom (verified owner) –

    I have a slightly deviated septum. The cones really seem to help at night. The medium size was just a little too big. The small size was just right. After a few days, I don’t even feel that they are in. I really can feel much more air.
    I would recommend these over the nose strips.

  253. Christina Bartel (verified owner) –

    At first they worked great but slipped away overnight. IMPORTANT: They need to be blue or green pastel so you can actually see them when they fall out. I’d have to play where’s the cones in my bed or on the floor several minutes every morning. Over the past couple of days I can’t seem to put them far enough up my nose to be able to breathe. I have very pinched shut nostrils. VERY IMPORTANT: It would be more helpful on the website to have a copy of the sizing chart found on the side of the product box. We have no access to the official sizing chart until the cones arrive. That doesn’t really work for the customers.

    My sleep apnea dentist introduced me the nose cones. The minute she had me put them in my nose I could tell I could breath so much better. My dentist laughed and said she loves to watch our faces when we first put them in because everyone’s eyes get big and a huge smile comes because we can tell we are getting a lot more oxygen. I won’t sleep without them. Even when I am stuffy, I can still breath through my nose. whereas without the nose cones I could have to mouth breath. I am so thankful for the max air nose cones.

  267. Karen Young (verified owner) –

    I have wondered how they would be in the same design as the white cones. I tried using them attached, but finally separated them. Being attached just didn’t work. They are not as firm, so not so noticeable when wearing, very comfortable. With them seperated, I lose at least 1 during the night. I like the little nose clip on the white ones. With the use of the cones, I feel like I’m getting a deeper sleep as well as getting more sleep during the night. I don’t use Flonase or Vicks any more at night. No regrets in buying these.

    So far I don’t know what I think. Both the Medium and Large cones tend to fall out while sleeping, but they do work while they remain in the nose. I’ve tried cutting the cross piece to separate the cones but they still fall out and can be a pain to find at night.

    I’ve tried many different different nighttime breathing products and Max-Air Nose Cones have been my go-to for almost 5 years now. I only need one nostril opened (deviated septum) so I separate the cones and use one at a time. Each one lasts around a month, so I get about 4 months with each package. $7 a month for being able to breathe at night is well worth it. They stay in my nose really well until they start to flatten towards the end of their life. That’s how I know to switch to a new one. They are very comfortable and soft to wear all night. Sometimes I even forget to take it out after waking up. I would highly recommend these if you have any sort of trouble breathing at night.

    I bought the Max-Air Nose Cones on the advice of my sleep doctor, and am happy with them. I wear an oral appliance and hope to get rid my nighttime oxygen by wearing these.

    I find them comfortable to wear and the only ‘complaint’ I have to date is the need to soak them in hydrogen peroxide every day. That and the fact that they need to be replaced every 6 weeks. But it’s still cheaper than renting an oxygen concentrator, and much more convenient to travel with….

    So far I have worn them as they came, but tonight I am going to separate them and see if I can get a slightly better fit with them not being attached to each other.

    They were delivered within a few days of ordering them, and my order was exactly as I had submitted. Impressive!

    These simple but easy to use nasal cones do a very good job of keeping your nasal passages open during the night. Similar in effect to nasal strips but better without the adhesive and more effective opening of the passage. I have left mine connected rather than cutting apart.

    I have used the nose cones for a couple of weeks and think that I’m sleeping better; however, I’m not sure since I wake up several times a night to readjust the nose cone that tends to fall out. I have not separated them and also wonder if a smaller size might work better but don’t want to send back the medium size in case that was the right choice. I feel that I do breathe better during the night, and think the nose cone works better than Breathe Right strips. I don’t think I have had enough time to evaluate properly.

    I don’t notice any effectiveness difference between the 2 types of nose cones. Regarding the sinus cone I cut off the clip to get a little more penetration. Both styles work for me equally as well. I can not get enough air thru my nose without some help. These both work to assist in that.

THE FACT THAT YOU REPORT DISCOMFORT AND AN INABILITY TO KEEP THEM IN PLACE, INDICATES THAT YOU HAVE THE INCORRECT SIZE. THE DISCOMFORT INDICATES THAT THEY ARE TOO LARGE. WE OFFER A FREE SIZE EXCHANGE WITHIN 30-DAYS OF YOUR PURCHASE DATE, SO WE RECOMMEND YOU RETURN THE SIZE MEDIUM THAT YOU ORDER FOR THE SIZE SMALL. IF ADDITIONAL HELP IS REQUIRED PLEASE CONTACT OUR TECH SUPPORT AT 1-800-797-0361 MON – FRI 8am -6pm EST. VERY BEST REGARDS

    My dentist recommended them and they seem to work well

    This product did not hold up. Four nose cones were ordered at the same time. Each lasted approximately one week each before splitting apart at the weld seam which is a verticle seame on each nose cone. HI ALTON. WE HAVE NEVER HAD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE. WHEN RESEARCHING YOUR ORDER, WE SAW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING OUR PRODUCTS FOR 4 YEARS WITHOUT ISSUE.

    THANK YOUR FOR LETTING US KNOW THAT YOU CHANGED BOTH YOUR CLEANING PROCESS (NOW USING SOAP TO CLEAN THE CONES, WHICH WE DO NOT RECOMMEND) AND THE ADDITION OF A NASAL EMOLLIENT GEL (WE ONLY RECOMMEND A WATER-BASED MOISTURIZER SUCH AS K-Y JELLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE SOAP AND NASAL EMOLLIENT ARE CAUSING THE CONES TO DEGRADE AND SPLIT. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU CEASE USING THE SOAP AND USE ONLY A WATER-BASED MOISTURIZER AND LET US KNOW IF THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. VERY BEST REGARDS.

    Ordered the cone size using the suggested method. Cones did not work because they seem to be too small.
    Max-Air Nose Cones – Size Medium,

    HI – A REPLY TO YOUR NOTE ABOUT SIZING; CORRECT SIZING IS IMPORTANT FOR CORRECT FUNCTION.

    There are many different type noses and many nasal abnormalities, so sometimes a little experimentation is required. This is the reason we offer the free exchange, so that you may exchange your Cones for a different size.

    If you think a larger size is standing between you and successful relief and a good night’s rest, by all means return them for an exchange. If you don’t think that it is worth a little experimenting for a good night’s sleep, please return your Cones for a refund.

    Please see our guarantee for details**.

    While i do feel i am getting a lot more air thru my deviated septum while I’m awake…unfortunately it does not seem to be helping my breathing issues at night…it seems to make it worse.

    – Hi Melea = thanks for your feedback. It sounds as though you would benefit from using our slightly firmer Sinus Cones, since airway obstruction is generally worse during sleep because gravity plays a role in causing more collapse or obstruction. Please see our free exchange policy on our guarantee page.

  323. Vince Clancy –

    Better than other similar products in that they are not so restrictive and they do help with breathing. Thanks!

  324. Charlie Cormier –

    As discussed w/your advisor, after buying both sizes & determining that neither stands up to my deviated septum, both were returned (together) in exchange for your strongest vesrion, size large. Am still waiting for the replacement to arrive.

    Very effective,comfortable,easy to use. I even forget I have it in my nose. I highly recommend Max-Air Nose Cones-Size Medium,Clear.
