Breathe better, improve your results

It is a selling point, not a footnote. OxiStrip nasal strips and OxiStrip mouth tape are Class I medical devices, CE marked under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. Every pack includes instructions for use, and the intended purpose and contraindications are stated up front. Read them before first use. This is a medical device. Use it in accordance with the instructions for use or the label.

Nasal breathing activates nitric oxide (NO) production — a compound that dilates blood vessels and improves oxygen delivery to working muscles. Even with a mild cold or mucosal swelling, the strip helps keep your nose open. The result: easier heart-rate control, lower perceived fatigue, and better recovery during and after effort.

Yes! It is especially recommended for low- and moderate-intensity efforts and Zone 2 training. Most people need a short adaptation period, but the longer you hold nasal breathing, the more economical your run becomes — you keep a lower heart rate, avoid a dry throat, and bounce back faster.

Yes. Athletes across many sports increasingly reach for nasal strips — from distance runners, triathletes, and cyclists to CrossFit, HYROX, and combat sports. They use them to control breathing in training, prevent airway drying, and bring heart rate down more efficiently between sets.

Yes. OxiStrip Sport uses a reinforced sport adhesive that resists sweat, moisture, and dynamic facial movement. The strip stays stable on the skin and keeps the nose open for the full training session or race without peeling at the edges.

Wash and thoroughly dry the sides and bridge of your nose — the skin must be free of oil (sebum) and sweat. Center the strip about 1 cm from the bottom of the nose and press it down firmly once for a few seconds. Ideally apply it 10–15 minutes before your warm-up so the adhesive bonds before you start sweating.
