Unlike traditional nasal strips, Intake uses a magnetic Band and adhesive Tabs to support your nostrils from the outside.<h2 id="how-does-it-work">How does it work?</h2>Intake has two main components:<ul><li>Adhesive Tabs: Single-use Tabs applied to each side of your nose, just above the nostrils. Each Tab contains a small steel disc.</li><li>Magnetic Band: A reusable Band with magnets on each end that connects to the Tabs and gently pulls your nostrils open to improve airflow.</li></ul>Nothing goes inside your nose! The magnets are located in the Band, not the adhesive Tabs.
