Breathing through your nose might seem like a small detail—but for elite athletes, it’s a performance enhancer. In a recent video, CrossFit Games athlete Abbie Domit shares how AIRWAAV Nasal Strips help her stay calm and efficient in the middle of high-intensity training.

“I like to wear them during workouts to help keep me breathing through my nose and stay relaxed.” — Abbie Domit

Let’s break down why that matters—and how you can benefit too.

So, why use nasal strips?

AIRWAAV Nasal Strips help physically open your nasal airways, increasing airflow so you can breathe easier through your nose. It’s a simple way to improve oxygen intake without relying on stimulants or complicated routines.

When to use them:

• During training: Keep your breathing smooth and efficient under pressure.

• Before sleep: Support nasal breathing at night for better recovery and improved sleep quality.

• On the go: Great for travel, hot weather, or anytime you feel congested or restricted.

The result?

✔️ Better airflow

✔️ More controlled breathing

✔️ Improved recovery and performance

Think of it as a small upgrade with big impact—whether you’re hitting a hard session or winding down for the night.

"Put the new AIRWAAV Nasal Strips to the test with some Z2 miles. Can surely say I’m a fan and will be using these A LOT moving forward. The field is so good these days that you’ve got to find little things that help maximize every bit of performance. The AIRWAAV Mouthpiece has already innovated and helped my training tremendously, but this is another level up right here!!!"- James Sprague

Best Practice: Pair with Your AIRWAAV Mouthpiece

To get the most out of your AIRWAAV Nasal Strips, pair them with the right mouthpiece based on your goal:

• During Training → Use the AIRWAAV Performance Mouthpiece (PX1 or PX2)

  This combination helps increase airflow, reduce respiratory rate, and lower cortisol levels—supporting better endurance, strength output, and composure in tough sessions.

• During Sleep → Use the AIRWAAV Recovery Mouthpiece (RX1)

  The RX1 guides your jaw into an optimal recovery position, reducing clenching and activating the parasympathetic nervous system. When paired with nasal breathing, it promotes deeper, more restorative sleep.

By combining tools that support both airway efficiency and jaw positioning, you’re stacking the benefits for both performance and recovery—without adding complexity to your routine.
