    Wicks Sweat

    Intake was originally designed for athletes, so the Tabs are made to withstand even your sweatiest workouts.

    Flimsy

    Nasal strips rely on your skin for leverage, so they can collapse as soon as you inhale.

    Falls Off

    Usually ends up sticking to your pillow, not your nose.

    Causes Irritation

    Nasal strips use an aggressive adhesive to stick to your nose, and can damage the delicate skin there over time.

    cancel
    Won’t Stick Around

    Nasal strips can’t withstand moisture, so they’ll split as soon as you start to break a sweat.

        About

        Finding Your Size

        Everyone’s nose is different, but we have found that the best way to find the size that works for you is to hold each one up to the width of your nostrils. The one that barely touches the widest part of your nostrils to the insides of the Band is usually the best size for you.  

        • Too Small

          The inside of the Intake Band are inside the width of his nostrils. This Band will fit and open his nose, but it’s not going to be as effective as a larger Band. 

        • Perfect Size

          The inside of the Intake Band are just slightly touching the outsides of the widest part of his nostrils. 

        • Too Large

          The inside of the Intake Band aren’t even close to touching the sides of his nostrils. This Band will open the nose too much, likely causing the Tabs to pull off.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          What problem are we solving?

          Most people struggle to breathe through their nose, and many don't even realize it. Habitual mouth breathing negatively affects snoring, oral health, stress levels, and even athletic potential.

          What makes our products unique?

          Intake opens your nose to its widest capacity and will not come off during sleep or sweat. Intake's design pulls from the Band, not the skin from the bridge of your nose and won't damage the delicate skin & blood vessels inside your nose.

          Why do we love what we do?

          We enhance the breathing experience and empower people to improve their lives.

          How does Intake work?

          Our Intake Tabs attach independently to each side of your nose allowing for precision placement. The steel disc inside each Tab attaches to the magnetic ends of the Intake Band, instantly opening your nose.

          How to get started with Intake?

          The Intake Starter Kit provides everything you need to get started, including 15 or 30 Refills (Uses) of disposable Tabs. We then offer a variety purchase options for Refills to fit your routine.

          Will it help my snoring?

          There are many different reasons why one might snore or have trouble sleeping, so we hesitate to definitively say yes to this question. However, we have thousands of users report incredible benefits to wearing Intake to sleep, including huge reductions or complete silence from snoring, deeper sleep, and, in some cases, even relief from sleep apnea*.

          * Note: you should always consult your doctor when seeking medical or health-related advice. Intake does not recommend that you stop the use of any doctor-recommended products that may be helping you breathe, such as a CPAP machine. If you would like to try Intake to replace any current doctor recommended or prescribed breathing aid, please check with your doctor first to be sure it is safe.

          What about for my workouts?

          Absolutely!

          Nose breathing during activity is more important than you may think. Nose breathing has been proven to boost oxygen absorption, lower your heart rate, optimize performance, and so much more. Intake is suitable for the vast majority of sports, activities, and training regimens. We designed Intake specifically with both athletes and the average gym-goer in mind, and we’re happy to say that we hold up exceptionally well for everything from football to yoga to motocross. The only sports that might compromise Intake’s wear time are those with substantial facial contact, such as grappling or boxing, and water sports. To learn more about the importance of nose breathing, we recommend checking out our science page or simply googling "the importance of nose breathing". You may be surprised how much you learn about why it's so essential to your health!

          How Long Does It Take To Work?

          Give your body some time 

          Exercise: 

          It takes time for your body to adjust to a new breathing method. We’ve found that 3 to 4 full workouts with Intake seems to be the magic number for the body to begin adjusting to nasal breathing. After that time, you’ll see a substantial difference in your endurance and recovery. You’ll reap the most benefits with continued use. It helps to practice first without Intake: try incorporating nose-breathing into a couple of workouts to build physical recognition of nasal breathing, and then try it with Intake. If you’re trying Intake, it’s probably because you have been mouth-breathing your whole life. Give your body a chance to adjust and be patient! 

          Sleep: 

          Similar to our advice for exercising with Intake, seeing results with your snoring or sleep quality can also take some time. Some people see results after the first use, and some may take several nights to see the difference. This is because your body has been used to breathing through its mouth for so long that it may need some time to adjust to an open nose. Our advice is to keep it up! The more you let your body adjust to nose breathing, the less it will mouth breathe. 

          What is the Shelf Life of Intake Breathing Products?

          All Intake Breathing products have a 2-year shelf life from the date of manufacture. That means you can store them unopened and unused for up to two years without worrying about loss of effectiveness.

          Here are a few tips to help maximize product longevity:

          Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

          Keep the packaging sealed until you’re ready to use

          Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity
