Frequently asked questions

Everything you'd want to know about aira: how it works, the kit, sizing, sleep, sport, and shipping.

How it works

aira uses a lightweight magnetic strip that gently opens your nasal passages from the outside. Two small adhesive tabs sit on either side of your nose, and the magnetic bridge connects them, creating a soft, outward pull that widens your airway instantly.

No drugs, no intrusion, no discomfort. Just cleaner, more comfortable breathing from the moment you put it on.

Standard nasal strips use adhesive alone to pull your nose open. That works early in the night, but the adhesive weakens over time, which is why they often peel by morning.

aira separates those two jobs: the magnetic strip handles the structural opening, and the tabs just hold it in place. Stronger hold, gentler on your skin, and breathing that stays consistent through the night rather than fading.

If your snoring starts with a blocked nose, it can. When your nose is properly open, your body defaults to nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing, and it's the mouth breathing that causes the soft-tissue vibration behind most snoring.

We hear from a lot of customers that their partner noticed the improvement before they did.

The kit & materials

Four magnetic strip sizes (L1–L4), a pack of 30 adhesive tab pairs, and an application guide. The strips are reusable, you only replace the tabs as you go. Your fit, your first month, and the guide: it's all in the box.

The magnetic strip itself lasts months: it's reusable. What you need to replace are the adhesive tabs, one pair per night. Order 30, 60 or 90 pairs at a time, so your ongoing cost is just the tabs, not the whole kit every time.

The adhesive tabs are medical-grade and specifically designed to minimise irritation. They come off cleanly in the morning without pulling your skin. If your skin is particularly sensitive, you can do a small patch test on your first night, but most people with sensitive skin have no issues.

Sizing & fit

The kit includes four strip sizes: L1–L4. A good fit means the strip's ends rest just on the outer edges of your nostrils without pressing them inward. If you're in between sizes, some people size up for workouts and use a smaller size for sleep.

Using aira

Clean, dry skin is the one thing that actually matters: it's the step most people rush, and it's why tabs sometimes don't hold. Stick one tab on either side of your nose, on the flat area just outside your nostrils, then connect the magnetic bridge between them.

The guide in the kit has visuals, and most people get the hang of it within the first two or three nights.

Most people stop noticing it within a few minutes of putting it on. The strip is under 2 grams and sits flat against your skin. The adhesive is medical-grade, designed to hold through a full night, including if you move around a lot.

If it shifts, it's almost always a skin-prep issue: the tabs need clean, dry skin to grip properly. The kit comes with an application guide that covers this.

The opening in your airway is immediate: you'll feel it the moment you put it on. For snoring, give it a few nights. If you've been a mouth-breather for years, your body takes a little time to settle into nasal breathing as its default. A week is a fair window to judge it properly.

It's almost always a skin-prep issue. Make sure your nose is completely clean and dry before applying: no moisturiser, no sweat, no residue from a previous strip. If your skin is naturally oily, a quick wipe with a dry tissue right before application will help. The tabs are medical-grade adhesive, so when the prep is right, they hold reliably.

Yes, and it actually works particularly well for this. The tabs are sweat-resistant and stay put through running, cycling, or anything high-intensity. Nasal breathing during exercise is worth getting right: it improves oxygen uptake and helps regulate your heart rate.
