Wig tape turns a 15-day pack of magnetic nasal strip tabs into 45 days

An update to an old post I made a few months back. I use magnetic nasal strips (the ones with steel discs that open your nostrils from outside). Game changer for breathing if you haven't tried them. But if you have oily skin or sweat a lot, the tabs fall off really quick. The 30pcs for a 15-day use lasted me 5 days max.

So I tried different ways to deal with the tabs losing adhesion:

1. Remove steel disk then 3M tape + hole puncher method. Works, but way too time-consuming for the negligible amount saved. Not worth it.
2. Pros-Aide / lash glue. Decent hold, but the residue is annoying. Tried lash glue (gentler version of pros-aide) and still didn't like the cleanup.

What actually works:

Wig tape. The roll kind you get for like $4. When the tab starts losing stick, cut a small piece of wig tape and press it on. Tab easily lasts another full day. I do this twice before tossing the tab, so a 15-day pack now lasts ~45 days.

The other thing nobody talks about is the original tabs use a sandwich method where the steel disc sits between two layers so when the strip pulls, it lifts the skin with it instead of tenting up. When you use 3M tape alone, you lose that. Wig tape restores it because it adds that second contact layer.

$4 roll lasts 3–6 months. Took me way too long to figure this out. Hope this helps
