ABSTRACT:
A clearing nasal passage product is made of a flexible sheet or the like having a hypo-allergenic adhesive back that is designed to be applied to a user's face. The product has a chin support portion that fits on a user's face underneath a user's mouth, and a first and second cheek attachment portion which adhere to the user's face above the user's mouth. The product is configured so that the chin support portion supports the user's lower lip upward against the user's upper lip to keep the user's mouth naturally closed while the user is sleeping. However, the product does not significantly cover the upper lip, and does not significantly restrict movement of the upper lip. A user is therefore able to cough or otherwise expel air or phlegm through the mouth while sleeping. When the product is in place, a sleeping user instinctively and naturally breathes through his nose, thereby helping to keep nasal passages clear and promoting restful sleep. The product can also help reduce or eliminate irritating snoring noises.
