    Alternatively you could use an ultra thin ST or panty liner (depending on how big your nose is:eek:) an fix it the length of your nose:Dstarpads.jpg

    The one on the left looks like a bigger version of the 'stop snoring' strip [STRIKE]I[/STRIKE] my OH sometimes uses. :rotfl:

  • The nose warmer idea is so strange. How does the wearer breathe?

    If you have an OH and children, then order them onto the sofa under a blanket with you. It's all in the training. :D

    It could also double up when you have a cold and save on tissue use as they are so absorbant!!

  • BTW have you considered learning belly dancing? I've found that when I'm feeling particularly cold, there are a few moves that I practice for a couple of minutes, and they really warm me up!

    Well, the design I was thinking of was more a triangle so that the nostrils were left clear. I'd be worried that the furry ones in that BBC clip would be very hard to breathe through.

    Your idea sounds more, well survivable. I don't tend to consider oxygen an overrated luxury. :)

    Oh, Aliasojo, I have a small halogen heater. It has two heat settings, 200 and 400 watts. It's economical and it's surprising how well it heats up a room if the door is closed.
