Nasal Strip brand used by alcaraz and ruud

[Sabr_india]

I've tried nasal strips and they seems to really help me not get breathless when I'm playing singles. I'm curious if anyone has identified the brand that ruud and alcaraz are using (pink and black strip).

There seems to some conjecture it's Breathe Right but I'm sure its not because
a) they are terrible in sweat (literally couldn't play more than 15mins without it coming off b) they don't come in these colors

I've moved to the magnetic ones as they are much more durable but I'd love to try the ones the pros are using as they seem to be stable in sweat.

Ruud called them "Breathe Easy Strips" in this video:

Actually listened to this closely and the commentator, Jason Good all, used the term breathe easy strips. Ruud says it's not from **** but a 'shady' site.

Did a quick search and there is no brand called breathe easy (think Jason used it asa generic term)

Maybe a brand called HiStrips - looks similar and it comes in black/pink.

Hard to imagine airflow is an issue for Carlos.

Histrips looks to be the one and they also call it out on the site, histrips.com . Thanks for that @socallefty - Will check it out

I tried out Breathe Right to help with my sleep. They had some impact, so I bought the cheap knockoffs above from Amazon. My suspicion is that the Breathe Easy on the internal packaging is generic and will be found in a lot of brands. These performed very similarly to the Breathe Right, but within a few days I had a rash on my nose. I do have sensitive skin... but it's probably fair to say that the cheap adhesive wasn't hypoallergenic.

Once I'd recovered, I tried the magnet option. Night and day difference - they open the nose so much more it's not even comparable. I use the Intake brand. I did consider trying the cheaper replacements, but a combination of reviews saying they didn't stick and my previous experience with the cheap glue meant I stayed with what I knew works. It's quite expensive for what it is, but I'm sleeping considerably better so it's worth the price to me.

You can tell he's a mouth breather

I think its kind of intimidating. Let me try it and maybe I can figure out how to make a bane mask.
