nasal strip

Snore-reducing adhesive

A nasal strip is a small adhesive bandage worn across the bridge of the nose to widen the nostrils and improve airflow.

Athletes wear them during competition, and people use them to reduce snoring or relieve congestion: I slept better after putting on a nasal strip.
