Nasalcease FirstAid Nosebleeds, 5-Count Box

Very good as an emergency stopper, surprised by material but not a problem they worked and quickly which is the main thing with nosebleeds. Also handy for helping bleeding stop on awkward parts of body like elbows or round a broken nail being so flexible.

excellent

My son suffered numerous and heavy nosebleeds during the space of two weeks this year. In the end, he had to have his nose cauterized. I came across this product after his cauterization and ordered it. The delivery was good and product arrived within two weeks.One morning he woke up with a nose bleed and I used this product. Yes it did stop the bleeding but I had to use two of them and still had to pinch his nose. This is the only product that I have come across that helps although I do think that it would not work so well for heavy nosebleeds. I now have two packs of these and as another reviewer has mentioned that especially in the case of children these help in lowering their anxiety as it does free up the hands. In my son's case as the bleeding subsided he could play the ps3 with his friends.

Doesn't work better than cotton or toilet paper, it also leaves loose threads on your nose

I suffer from HHT which causes me very severe nosebleeds. I was hoping as they are marketed at sufferers that they would be good. They did stem a medium level bleed but not a medium-fast bleed, that bled through in seconds. My problem with these is that they are very scratchy on the top an bottom end, to the point one did scratch my nose and make the bleeding worse. The advice is to twist or fold them before insertion, however I have small nostrils so they hung out massively and would not fit in when folded or twisted in a way which would fold the top over to prevent the fibres scratching. The major downfall however is that they claim to not stick inside your nose and advise you leave them in for 30 minutes. They stuck on the 3 attempts I could keep it in, one which was only left in 20 minutes stuck so badly i had to tear it out which caused a horrific bleed! I wouldn't use these again.

Handy when having a nose bleed on a motorway

The product itself works very well but be aware that you will be clobbered with a large customs bill as Nasalcease is imported from the USA. This almost doubles the price.
