3.0 out of 5 stars Great, but DROPSHIPPED product.

2026-01-14    -Jared

I found out about intake through an instagram ad and thought it looked fantastic so I purchased it just to try it out. 20 dollars seemed reasonable, and I would say even for that price, this thing is pretty worth it.In terms of the product itself, it does everything it claims to do, it opens up my airway fantastically. The quality is great, the plastic is not cheap feeling, the magnetic applicator is actually very handy, makes it easy to apply, and it includes sizing for almost any nose size. The stickers themselves work great, and so long as you clean your nose beforehand, they won’t start to come off until you wear them longer than 24hrs. If I was rating based on the product itself, I’d give a perfect review.I like to wear mine before bed, which drastically improves my sleep quality. I’ve also worn it to the gym a few times which was amazing, but I’m not brave enough to show up with it on every day lol. Any situation where you need to open up your airways works great with this. Sometimes if I’m gonna be working from home, I’ll just stick it on the morning and leave it on all day!Positives aside, when I ran out of the adhesive magnets, I went and checked the price of the refills. Intake wants to charge $30 for 30 stickers. I don’t know how you can justify charging a dollar for a bandaid with a tiny magnet in it. Mind you, without those, the product is completely unusable. Since I didn’t want to pay the equivalent of 2 Prime memberships every month to continue using my nose strip, I went online to do some research to see if maybe there was a DIY solution or way to reuse the stickers…Turns out, I discovered THIS EXACT PRODUCT is on aliexpress, sold by the actual manufacturer for $2 dollars (for the same starter pack kit).Not a knockoff version, the exact same product. I have both kits now and besides packaging, the two products are literally indistinguishable. Same logo, same materials, same sizing, even the swirling pattern on the magnetic applicator is the same.Not only that, but the refill sticker packs cost $7 for 100 count… basically, intake is selling you a product that they didn't actually invent, don’t actually make, putting their own branding and charging you 10x markup for the kit and 15x markup for refills.So while I absolutely love the product, I can’t help but feeling like I’ve been duped into participating in someone’s get rich quick scheme by buying from Intake. I honestly wouldn’t even fault them if they sold it for a less ridiculous markup, since at least you have the convenience of avoiding international shipping and having prime overnight. But in my mind, selling a $0.07 sticker for 1 dollar is totally unjustified.Rating 3 stars, because despite the drop shipping scam, the product itself is perfect. If it weren’t for intake’s shady business model, I would have rated 5 stars.

تقليد

Fake product!!المنتج هذا تقليد غير أصلي ، أنا سبق وجربت الاصلي من الشركة الأم اللصقات ثابتة وهذا لما وصلني شكيت انه غير أصلي لأن بالرغم ان الكرتون نفس تصميم العلبة الاساسية لكن الطباعة غير احترافية ولما جربته فعلاً لقيت فرق كبير في الجودة نصيحة لا أحد يشتريه

Péssimo

2026-02-10    -Lucas S.

Muito ruim. Enganação. É muito difícil pregar os adesivos corretamente e de forma alinhada. Eu testei todos os tamanhos. Durante a noite o aparelho ficava caindo do meu nariz toda hora. Minha esposa disse que nas noites que usei continuei roncando. Sinceramente, não adiantou de nada, queria meu dinheiro de volta.Um dilatador barato de farmácia que usei meses atrás trouxe resultados muito melhores do que esse.

5.0 out of 5 stars It held up in Miami Humidity

2025-12-26    -Tania Aguilar

I wore this during the Miami Half Marathon (it was really hot and humid) and it stayed on the entire race no lifting, no slipping, no issues at all. I put it on before the start and it was still perfectly in place when I finished and got my medal. It felt comfortable, didn’t irritate my skin, and definitely helped me breathe easier while running. If you’re have oily skin or sweat a lot, this is a solid option that actually holds up.Photos included from the start line and after finishing to show it never moved.

Stickers do not stick

Been using Noctal nasal strips for a long time. Decided to try these magnetic ones for the first time. They do not work. Stickers don't stick.

4.0 out of 5 stars Work as advertised but very overpriced

2025-12-28    -Erik Stinson

Short version: they work as advertised, magnets are very strong, sticky pads stay on much longer than expected and i have sensitive skin and have worn these 18 hours a day for over a month with no damage to my nose. Very good quality but still very overpriced. If they were more reasonably priced would have been an extremely easy 5 starLong version:I have a deviated septum so these were very appealing, especially for sleep because normally I have like 40% of one nostril to breath out of always. Wearing these gives me 100% in one nostril and about 30-80% on the other, big improvement. My sleep has gotten better and when I’m congested it clears up.As some have said in other reviews you can just order the same thing on various cheaper Chinese websites like AliExpress, while this is true they do not come anywhere near the quality. I ordered 4 different starter kits and tried them all, all 4 have very weak magnets that will just fall off and the sticky pads are a different material that are much more uncomfortable and do not stick at all, stick to the paper they come on, or fall off very quickly. While they are much more affordable it’s for the most part a waste of money. Their sticky pads with intakes bands are semi viable.With all of that good being said, the price point is still egregious, especially for what it is. They are capitalizing on 0 competition and a great idea executed well. If you don’t mind the price it’s a no brainer purchase, if you mind the price either wait for competition to bring down the prices or get the starter kit and buy the sticky pads elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much better than anything else!

I've tried a lot of alternatives to this - both the various 'strips' that apply directly to your nose as well as the inserts that are supposed to open up your nasal passages. Given the design and ads pushed to me, I figured this was at least worth a try.First and foremost - this WORKS REALLY WELL! I sleep more sound as my nasal passages stay open and uncongested through the entire night. When I wake up in the morning I find I am still able to breath very clearly and fully through my nose. This also prevents the dry mouth and throat (as well as coughing) that would develop through the night without this. My wife has also told me that I snore much less now as well and I no longer wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I need to catch my breath.Once you get the hang of attaching the small adhesive tabs to your nose, they apply very quickly and easily (it takes a little practice). It's key to ensure the sides of your nose are clean and without oils. I apply them right after washing my face before applying any moisturizer or other product.Directions for use are included as videos that you can scan directly on your phone - make sure you pay attention for how to select the right 'spreader' - bigger is not better and you want to select the most appropriate size.Removing the adhesive tabs int he morning is simply once you get the hang of it. Washing with warm water helps and the residue from the adhesive washes off easily.Refills are reasonably priced if you buy in bulk and select the subscription option on Amazon.
