Equate Extra Strength Large Clear Nasal Strips, 26 Count

Excellent version of the no-longer-available Breath Right Advanced 26 count strips. Shocked to see any negative comments, let alone a majority. I never found these strips to be any more difficult to use than the less effective 'standard' varieties. There was a reason why Breath Right called these Advanced and it wasn't because they were inferior. Amazingly, these highly effective strips are difficult to locate (forget finding the Breath Right variety) and it is starting to appear that Walmart may also be dropping this product. Way more effective than ordinary strips with an impressive hold - however to access that level of hold requires some preparation. Hot water and soap are usually sufficient but for those extreme cases rubbing alcohol will ALWAYS do the trick. 'Wash' with rubbing alcohol and allow your nose to dry (or wipe with a dry towel) and then apply strip. Successful users know that proper application requires holding the strip in place a few seconds while the adhesive 'takes'. That's right, you have to hold the strip in place for 10 seconds or so to get good adhesion. Use care in removing it the next morning... might need to wet/soak strip a little to soften hold. Please Walmart, return these strips to online availability. Thanks.

These are obviously being manufactured by Clear Passage (the interior wrappings are identical) but are substantially improved over the CP strips I have. I commend WM for taking good second-tier products and improving them into excellent first-tier products. It looks like WM has been learning from Apple -- Apple buys many components from the same manufacturers that make commodity products for other manufacturers, (such as hard drive, SSDs, RAM) but Apple's higher standards mean that often the product for them is made on dedicated lines or in dedicated runs.

Equate nasal strips simple do not stick no matter how well you prep your nose. They come off in the middle of the night. Why has Clear Passage been discontinued and replaced with these useless things? CP worked very well... Equate does not work at all.

I purchased these because the local Walmart was out of Breath Right. I will find Breath Right somewhere else these are a poor substitute for the real thing. the adhesive does not hold and they do a poor job of keeping nasal passages open.

I have tried these the last 3 nights because my store stopped carrying the awesome clear passage brand. Well, they don't stick, and if they don't stick then they don't work. Walmart, please bring back the Clear Passage brand!!!
