The Intake Breathing system uses a two-part magnetic design that separates adhesive contact from structural tension. The adhesive tabs attach externally on either side of the nose, while the relief band connects magnetically to apply outward lift. 

This configuration avoids pressure on the nasal bridge and keeps the expansion force consistent throughout use. Airflow support is noticeable, particularly for users affected by mild congestion or restricted nasal passages.

Build quality feels solid, with the relief band designed for repeated use. The magnetic connection is stable once positioned correctly, and the included applicator helps with placement accuracy. Comfort is generally high, as there is no internal component and minimal adhesive surface area. 

However, adhesion performance can vary depending on skin type, preparation, and moisture, requiring careful application.

Ease of use improves after a short learning curve. The system is not fully passive like standard nasal strips, but it offers adjustability through multiple band sizes. Sweat resistance and overnight stability are strong points, though replacement tabs are required regularly, which affects long-term value. Skin sensitivity may occur for some users, particularly during removal.
