Common Questions

Sit upright and lean slightly forward. Tear the pouch open, wipe your hands with an alcohol wipe, gently insert a nasal plug (or folded gauze) into the bleeding nostril, then pinch the soft part of your nose for 10 full minutes. Release, check, and clean up with the second wipe. The same steps are printed on the back of every pouch and explained in full on our How It Works page.

Yes. Nothing in the kit is liquid, gel, or flammable — the wipes are small sealed towelettes that fall well under carry-on limits. Keep it in your pocket, your carry-on, or your checked bag; it doesn't need to come out at security.

Sealed and stored away from extreme heat, a kit stays ready for several years. The alcohol wipes are the first thing to age, which is why each one is in its own sealed packet inside the vacuum pouch. Our rule of thumb: replace an opened kit right away, and swap a sealed kit after about 3 years or a summer left in a hot car.

Yes, with an adult helping. Kids get more nosebleeds than anyone, and the kit is built for exactly that: an adult opens the pouch, places the plug or gauze, and does the pinching and timing. Keep kits out of reach of small children when not in use — the plugs and wipes are small items.

The kit works the same way — plug, pressure, and time — but bleeding can take longer to stop if you take aspirin, warfarin, or another anticoagulant. Use the full 10 minutes, repeat once if needed, and if it's still bleeding after 20 minutes of steady pressure, get medical care. Talk to your doctor about frequent nosebleeds if you're on a blood thinner.

It's designed for common nosebleeds from dry air, altitude, exercise, allergies, or a minor bump. For a nosebleed that follows a hard hit to the head or face, comes with trouble breathing, or won't stop after 20 minutes of pressure, seek medical attention — the kit helps you manage it on the way, but it's not a substitute for a doctor.
