These are definitely good for congestion. I've always had to use Zyrtec-D, which I can't buy where I currently live, and the off the shelf decongestants just don't work for me. This combined with regular Zyrtec isn't perfect, but has definitely been better than most other things I've tried. They feel a little weird at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. My issue with these is the color. Maybe I just got a darker batch, or maybe they recently changed the color, I don't know, but "discreet" is not the word I would use to describe them. I understand what they were going for when they chose the dark tan/light brown color, but I feel like clear would be better. Part of the problem is it's the end of winter, so I'm currently very pale--not everyone will have that problem. But even if clear wouldn't "blend in" to skin tones, it also wouldn't look like you have a booger hanging out of your nose all the time. I'd be ok with it looking like I had a nose ring, but that's not what this color looks like. I will continue to use these at home, but will not be wearing them out for this reason, which is disappointing because they really do seem to help with seasonal allergy related congestion. I'd also like to see them come in an orange/citrus scent. Read more

I got these to wear while I am studying. I super excited about these and even bought some more to wear while I'm sleeping. I have used one the other pack and like them. But then I found a black hair in my other sealed pack! Not happy about that at all! I just want to send them all back now! Read more

I honestly did not know what to expect when I ordered these. I suffer from daily congestion and when I ordered these I was in a desperate state of pain and wanting to put an end to the sinus pain I was experiencing. This was one of the items I chose. So... the little box arrives and inside is a blister pack of little silicone-type U-shaped things. On each end is a little ball that is inserted into your nose and there's a strip that goes across your nose to keep them together. When I punched it out of the blister pack, I immediately smelled peppermint. I put it in my nose, inhaled deeply, and I could breathe. The peppermint essential oils release into my nostrils, opening up my nasal passages. The tiny balls help to open my nasal passages up a little more, for air flow. I walked around my house and no one could even tell I had anything in my nose until I told them. In fact, right as I am typing this, I am sitting in my office at work and no one can tell I have them in. The strip that goes across your nose is so small, you can't hardly tell. Last night I slept with one in. It stayed in all night and it wasn't uncomfortable and didn't hinder my sleep in any way. For me, it helped me sleep since I could breathe easier. So now I want a set of every scent - the Lavender, the cinnamon and I think the other one is Wintergreen. I want to have these always in hand for congestion, or to help me sleep, or both. I can't wait to try the other scents. Thank you, Vapor Soothers. I'm now a big fan! Read more

I've been suffering from allergies for as long as I can remember, my sinuses are terrible and I constantly get sinus infections. These last few years have been especially terrible, I wake up with sinus headaches and everything seems to aggravate my allergies. I also seem to have a nose like a dog, I always seem to smell things no one else can and these things easily trigger migraines for me. I've tried many things over the years. I take my prescription nasal spray and an antihistamine religiously, use nasal rinses and saline sprays. I sometimes wear a mask to defend against allergens and have air purifiers running constantly. I even started using a nasal spray with cayenne (hot pepper) to aggressively clear out the congestion. I am so grateful I came across these Vapor Soothers and gave them a try. It gives me such long lasting relief and has drastically cut down on the other remedies I normally resort to. After trying the first one, I was finally able to rest well throughout the night and woke up without even a trace of a headache. My husband woke up sniffling and blowing his nose as usual. I took a deep breath through my nose and showed off to him how completely clear it was. So he decided to try it too and was amazed at how soothing it was. The clip is really easy to put in and take out, but stays in good once it's in. It's also very comfortable, I often even forget I'm wearing it and I'm usually sensitive to things like that. It's truly discreet as well, I hardly ever notice it when my husband's wearing one. I notice it a little more on my nose for some reason, but I just like to pretend it's a cute little nose ring and don't mind at all. Sometimes if we're already congested when we put one in, the congestion will break up and we'll have to take it out to blow our nose a few times before it clears up. That just shows how well it works, and once it's clear it remains clear for as long as we keep the clip in. Soothing is a perfect word for it. I got the peppermint one and it blends very well with the menthol to keep my breath feeling cool. As an added benefit, I've noticed the peppermint does work well to stave off hunger so I snack less in-between meals. I take mine out before eating anything. When I do feel like taking a break from it, I store mine in a small plastic bag so I wont lose it and to keep it fresh and lasting longer. It does slowly weaken over time but easily lasts the advertised 14 hours, usually longer for me. It starts out strong and occasionally it does sting the underneath of my nose a bit, but only for the first few minutes and because I have very sensitive skin. It's still not bad at all and certainly beats spraying extract from hot peppers up my nose. I'd say it's well worth it. And finally, I don't have to suffer other strange smells anymore. When the clip is in, that's all I can smell and it's such a relief. Overall I'm in love with this product and can't wait to try out the other scents too. I'd also like to add that ScentTech's customer service is awesome. They responded quickly to my problem and more than made up for the little mistake. So I'm a very happy customer. Read more
