OSS Nasal Strips

A black nasal strip with OSS printed on it, made for training. The ends are rounded, so there’s no corner for a collar or a forearm to catch, and the adhesive holds through sweat.
30 single-use strips per pack.
Why Athletes Choose This
OSS Nasal Strips
$20.00
No corners to catch
Most nasal strips have square corners, and that’s where they start to peel. A collar grip or a forearm drags across your face, one corner lifts, and a couple of rounds later the strip is on the mat. Ours is rounded all the way around, so there’s nothing to get under.
Rounded edges
Nothing for a collar, a glove or your partner’s forearm to get under.
Holds through the roll
Wear it through a full class of crossfaces and collar chokes. It’s still on when you bow out.
Mouthguard in
You can keep your mouthguard in and still breathe through your nose.
Nothing to rip off
There’s no hard band or magnet. It bends with your nose when someone is grinding your face into the mat.
Why OSS
If you train, you say it all the time: bowing on, slapping hands before a roll, after a training partner hits a nice sweep on you. It seemed like it belonged on the strip.
If you’d rather wear something plain, Carbon Fiber is the same strip without it.
What's in a strip
Same mechanism. Different adhesive.
The spring band works the way a drugstore strip does: it gently lifts the sides of your nose. What changes is everything around it. Drugstore strips are made for a pillow. Ours are made for a hard round.

Built for the mats
BJJ, gi
Every collar grip and crossface drags the gi across your face. The adhesive is chosen to hold through that.
No-gi jiu jitsu
No gi means more sweat on your face. Put it on a clean, dry nose and it stays put.
Wrestling
Hand fighting and scrambles are rough on your face. The strip is flexible, so there’s nothing rigid to get torn off.
MMA
You can wear it with your mouthguard in and keep your mouth closed.
Boxing and Muay Thai
Works with a mouthguard. If you grease up before sparring, keep it off the bridge of your nose so the strip can stick.
Running and conditioning
It works for runs, lifting and conditioning too.

Set up in under a minute

Wash your nose and dry it. Any oil left on your skin and the strip won’t last the session, so don’t skip this one.
2
Put it on early
About five minutes before class, across your nose just above where the nostrils flare.
3
Press
Press both ends down firmly and hold for 10 seconds.
4
Train
One strip per session, off within 12 hours. Peel it slowly from one end. Warm water helps if it’s stubborn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a nasal strip stay on when I’m sweating?
Yes, that’s what it’s made for. The rounded edges don’t give anything a place to catch, and the adhesive is picked for sweat. Your part is putting it on a clean, dry nose and pressing it down for the full 10 seconds. If one comes off mid-session anyway, email us and tell us what happened.
What does it actually do?
It gently pulls your nostrils open, so breathing through your nose takes less effort.
What’s in the box?
30 strips in a resealable pouch that can live in your gym bag.
How long does a pack last?
About a month if you train five or six days a week. You use one strip per session.
Can I reuse a strip?
No. The adhesive won’t hold a second time. Use a fresh one each session, and don’t leave one on longer than 12 hours.
Can I wear a nasal strip in competition?
Rules vary by organization and event, so check with yours.
Is it OK for sensitive skin?
It’s hypoallergenic and comes off cleanly with warm water. If your skin is sensitive, try one on a lighter day before you wear it into hard rounds.
Nasal strip or mouth tape for training?
They do different things. Tape keeps your mouth shut and a strip opens your nose. You also can’t wear tape with a mouthguard in, so for training you want the strip.
Is it one size?
One size fits most noses. Put it across the bridge just above where your nostrils flare. If it hangs off the sides, move it up a little.
How fast does it ship?
Standard shipping takes 3 to 5 business days in the US, and it’s free on orders of $40 or more.
What if I don’t like it?
Email us within 30 days and we’ll refund you in full. You don’t need a reason.
