A nasal plaster only helps if it stays in place. Anyone who has ever found a plaster coming off in bed at 3 a.m. knows the problem. The good news: Apply nasal plasters correctly It's not science - but a few details make the difference.
Step 1: Prepare your nose
- Wash with mild soap, remove make-up and care cream
- Thorough dry — Moisture is the most common reason for poor grip
- For very oily skin: dab briefly, optionally use a matting cloth (unscented)
- For beard hair in the nose area: Plaster sticks more poorly - trim the area if necessary
Step 2: Size and Position
The plaster sits over the movable nostrils, not too high on the nose bone. Place in the middle of the bridge of the nose, press the ends outwards onto the wings - hold for 10-15 seconds. This is how the flexible strip develops its tension.
Step 3: Sensitive Skin
In case of irritation:
- Remove the plaster slowly in the direction of the shower, do not tear it
- Care for your skin in the evening, don't use a rich cream before gluing in the morning
- Allow a day break between applications
Material and quality play a role - more on this in What is in a CE-certified medical device?
Typical mistakes
- Plaster on damp skin after shower without drying
- Press too lightly - the ends need pressure
- Pinch your nose or wrinkle while gluing
- Reuse plasters - always single use
Remove in the morning
Moisten with warm water when showering and peel off slowly. Remove remaining adhesive with mild washing gel. If redness occurs: take a break and, if necessary, consult a doctor.
