From the manufacturer
Turbine Sports Breathing Aid
Endorsed by doctors. Worn by professionals
Turbine is a breathing aid (nasal dilator) worn and endorsed by leading professional athletes.
It has been clinically proven to deliver 38 Percent more air (rhinometry test), with an instant feeling of increased airflow when fitted correctly.
Turbine Sports Breathing Technology
Clinically proven* to increase airflow by an average of 38%
Breathing is a compulsory part of everyday life, but we tend to complain when our breathing is laboured, rather than engaging in ways to make it more comfortable.
That’s where the Turbine comes into it’s own. It’s a soft, pliable polymer stent that dilates your nose in a way that nasal tapes can only dream of. It not only increases the amount of air you can inhale through your nose by an average of 38 percent, it reminds you to breathe in a more controlled and efficient way.
- RunningNW: "very dramatic difference in my breathing and my approach to it. I am definitely seeing increased airflow (that’s immediate)".
Chris Froome - Tour De France winner
"Great piece of equipment. Less energy and distraction with breathing means I can use more energy in other important parts of my riding, like focussing on power, cadence and keeping my head in the game."
Clinical Trial

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My dentist recommended this device to me. I sleep on my back and my mouth drops open, tongue falls back blocking my airway, which causes snoring and, more seriously, long periods of sleep apnea. I tried a cpap machine but didn't like it at all. The relief it gave was outweighed by the discomfort and "too much-ness" of the entire bunch of equipment I had to wear every night. I tried these little things and took time to work out how to get the most from them. It's worth taking some time with them--they took a bit of fiddling to get the fit correct. (The video they have now is very much more clear than when I first found these things).
The other thing I do is that I use paper "wound care" tape across my mouth to keep it from falling open. I apply lip balm, sort of 'roll' my lips together and apply the tape, then relax my lips. The tape stays on just fine and when I take it off in the morning it doesn't pull the sensitive skin on my lips.
Some people apply the tape vertically, some horizontally. You have to try it a few times to get the right method for yourself. And use the paper tape that's made for changing dressings often. It has the least amount of adhesive. I had to get past the weirdness of having my mouth taped shut but that wasn't too bad. And it's not like I can't just open my mouth if needed. (It's not like I'm duct taping my whole mouth shut!!! ) It just keeps the mouth closed and the tongue from falling backward the way it does if my mouth falls open in sleep, and it makes sure I'm breathing through my nose. I live in a kind of dry climate, at about 2100 ft. altitude, so I always run a humidifier while sleeping. I try to keep the humidity around 40-45% and that helps a lot. (Side-note, some folks have mentioned scabs and bleeding...I've never had that from these devices, but as I said, I live in a high, dry climate and used to get nosebleeds. I have learned that I get fewer nosebleeds when I'm well hydrated by drinking plenty of water *and* running the humidifier)
I really recommend that you try these two things together--the tape WITH the nasal dilators has made ALL the difference and I no longer use the cpap machine.
A note on care of these devices; I take the little things out every morning and clean them right away, before I brush my teeth. Don't just put it on your nightstand...I've lost about 4 of them this way! I forget about them, then they get knocked off somehow and they're hard to see... I think they just got vacuumed up. The yellow ones are easier to see if you drop them, too! To clean it, I use a very soft toothbrush (like the kind you get after having oral surgery). I wet both the device and the toothbrush, drag the wet brush across a bar of unscented soap, and scrub the entire device gently. Then I rinse it well and set it on a special tiny dish I keep on the bathroom counter for this purpose. Then at night, it's always right there, clean, dry and ready to use. Sometimes I soak it in Hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes after washing but it never foams up like it would if there were lots of bacteria left on it. I have used these for WAY longer than the recommended 10 days. They're silicone! They're quite durable and can last a good while.
Good luck!
Breathing - It opens up your nose by basically creating a firm "ring" of plastic that supports your nostril from the inside. It opens your airways and makes it easier to breathe through your nose. I've been able to stop breathing through my mouth as much because of these, and my sleep is improved when I use them.
Sizing - I used the medium size. There is an adjustment on the "arms," but I found that these just collapsed or clicked shut in the process of putting them in my nose, so I eventually just got used to using them fully "collapsed." I would recommend the company just try to make more options for firm sizes instead of using this adjustment system.
Comfort - The top of the hoop inside the nostril has a softer material (silicone/rubber of some kind) on the "wings" that stick up against the top of your nose. I feel like these (and the whole unit) could maybe be a little softer. After an adjustment period, I tolerate the device pretty well. But after a full night of use, your nose can feel a little "raw" - especially if you move it around or adjust it much.
Grossness - Sorry to be gross, but basically an FYI - if you're exerting yourself and have allergies like I do, you may find some snot collecting at the area at the base of the nose where the connecting arm sits. Having the item in can make it hard to wipe that away without also irritating your nose. This isn't a huge downside, but it can bug you if you're spending a lot of time with these in and have that issue. Just keep an eye out for it, and be prepared to remove it once in awhile to clean things up.
Suggestion - I wouldn't mind some of these in skin tone colors. I'm not really going for that punk rock look, so having a more "discreet" color option than bright yellow would be nice.
Overall, the issues I've mentioned are minor in comparison to how much these have helped me with my breathing. I'm grateful for them, and I hope the company will continue to iterate on their design.
Although the nasal dilator might work well in enhancing nasal airflow during sleep, it's worth noting that it's not ideal for individuals with nose piercings. As someone with a piercing, I found the design uncomfortable and potentially irritating.

Reviewed in Brazil on February 22, 2024
UPDATE: I've been using the same dilator for three months now and it's standing up really well. I haven't even opened the other two in the package yet.
UPDATE #2: Have been using the same dilator for almost six months and it continues to perform well although the sizing ratchets have worn out which doesn't matter as I use the large dilator and keep the ratchets all the way in anyway.
NOTE: I've read how some people find these uncomfortable and wanted to remark that when I first got mine I mistakenly tried wearing it upside down which was incredibly uncomfortable and even painful but when it's in the right way I almost forget it's even there.
NOTE 2: I also don't understand how anyone can say these don't work as they work amazingly well for me but for all I know it might depend on a person's physical characteristics.
dopo innumerevoli chiamate ho aperto a z con amazon ma tergiversano senza accettare il rimborso. consiglio mio NON COMPRATE QUESTO ARTICOLO PERCHE' LO BLOCCANO IN DOGANA PER QUESTIONI SANITARIE. si tratta di un semplice divaricatore per il naso che probabilemnte viene venduto in italia tramite amazon senza le dovute docuemntazione sanitaria.... in aggiornamento
La taille M me convient (homme européen avec nez long)
Grâce à ça je dors sans m’étouffer, je suis en forme le matin, je revis !
J’ai testé d’autres marques mais elles ne me conviennent pas, elles font mal et étirent trop les narines.
Je conseille cette marque, chaque taille peut être ajustée par un deuxième réglage, vous trouverez forcément ce qui vous convient.
También la uso para no roncar en la noche y sí ayuda, aunque no al 100%. Lo bueno es que los pequeños ronquidos que me llegan a salir son casi imperceptibles.
