Fitting a nasal dilator is straightforward. Generally, you position the nasal dilator so the flares rest just inside the lower part of your nostrils.
Steps to Fitting a Nasal Dilator
-
Identify the Flares: Locate the small, outward-facing parts of the nasal dilator; these are the flares.
-
Position the Flares: Gently place the flares just inside the lower edge of your nostrils. Avoid pushing them too far in.
-
Check the Placement: Ensure the flares are comfortably situated within your nostrils. The septum band (the part that connects the flares) may hang slightly below your nose – this is normal.
-
Adjust as Needed: If uncomfortable, try slightly readjusting the position of the dilator.
Important Note: The provided reference image shows the placement of a SleepRight Intra-Nasal Sleep Inhaler, which appears to be similar in fitting to other nasal dilators. The precise fitting instructions may vary slightly depending on the specific brand and design of your nasal dilator. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your particular device.
