First Defense Nasal ScreensLarge Size - 7-Sets Per Pack

These nasal filters are great! As someone who suffers from allergies, I keep these in my purse ready for cleaning, yard work, or any project that puts me into contact with an allergen.. They are easy to put on, discreet and convenient to carry around! They also stay in place perfectly until I remove them. I suggest ordering large only though because I accidentally ordered size small one time and they seemed to restrict my airflow.. but I've never had that problem with the larger size. I think the smaller ones are just for kids.They claim that these help 'alleviate respiratory suffering by comfortably filtering inhaled air and removing airborne germs, allergens and/or noxious particles'- knowing that makes me feel better to use these when viruses are going around and during flu season..A wonderful article I read (g16, No.6) gave some great precautions to take to prevent spread of diseases. It mentioned these suggestions below...'Do not share personal items, such as razors, toothbrushes, or towels..... And do not underestimate the benefits of washing your hands thoroughly and frequently. It is perhaps the most effective way you can stop the spread of infection.If possible, stay home when you are sick... cough or sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve, but not into your hands.An ancient proverb states: “The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.” (Proverbs 22:3) How true are those words today in a world plagued with potentially dangerous diseases! So inform yourself by consulting local health services, and conceal yourself from danger by practicing good hygiene. Bolster your defenses, and reduce the risk of disease!'Such great suggestions!!!UPDATE:(6/10/21)I still like using these nasal filters although I do wish they were a little cheaper🙂 Also, I've noticed with the last ones I've received that it itches alot around where the nasal strips stick to my nostrils.. I'm not sure if it's the glue causing the itching or what. But maybe my skin is just real sensitive to the glue being used.. 😏 they might not affect your skin though so worth trying it out👍🙂UPDATE (3/15/22)I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND BUYING A LARGER SIZE THAN YOUR NOSTRILS BECAUSE WHEN I ORDERED THE SMALLER SIZE NASAL SCREENS THEY DO RESTRICT SOME OF MY AIR FLOW.. BUT ANYTIME I USE THE SIZE 'LARGE' I SEEM TO HAVE GREAT AIRFLOW.Hope this helps you😊👍

I was highly skeptical about this product but I thought I'd give it a chance. My allergies are so bad that I'll try just about anything. I should have trusted my instincts. First Defense is supposed to help alleviate the itchy nose one gets from pollen. Ironically, these bandaid-like patches actually make your nose itch. In other words, the cure is as bad as the illness. I attached these goofy little suckers to my nostrils and hoped for the best. For the first hour the only effect I noticed was a bit more difficulty in inhaling through my nose. Into the second hour my nose started to itch, not from allergens but the nasal screens themselves. Imagine having a sticky piece of plastic attached to your nose. After awhile the plastic expands or contracts and your nose flesh is pulled this way and that. It's not dramatic, but enough to be really irritating. It started to drive me nuts so I removed the nasal screens and felt immediate relief. So if you want a distraction from your allergies, buy these. They'll take your mind off the pollen and focus it on the itchy plastic stuff on your nose.

Whenever I flew before, I'd always end up sick with a virus/cold. I am not exaggerating about this either. Before a long trip to S. Korea I was looking at masks, but I knew masks can get hot and feel claustrophobic. I came across these nasal screens as an alternative and decided to get them. Yes, they were hard to apply, and I had to get rid of one pair because I just couldn't get it right. The next pair I put on in the bathroom with a mirror, and it was easier. This was the FIRST time I flew where I didn't get sick!! It's a big deal to me, because I've had many a vacation marred by illness. Of course I used them on the way home too with the same positive result. My next trip was from Houston to Seattle. I ordered the nasal screens, but the box they were in was open and there were none there. Sure enough, I got sick in Seattle and was miserable. This past April, I ordered them for another long trip. Put them on easily without a mirror.Again, no sickness. Yes, you have to get them on just right for them to work. Yes, up close people will notice you have them on, but I'd rather look strange than have a 2-week vacation ruined by the flu. No, they don't hurt when you remove them, and yes, you have to remember to breathe through your nose for them to be the most effective. They are a must for me for every trip!
