Product Description
The more you can lean on nasal breathing, rather than mouth breathing, in training and racing the better. However, everything gets harder before it gets easier. Your body isn't used to it. The nasal valve — the narrowest point inside your nostril — creates resistance, and that resistance makes your brain want to bail back to mouth breathing before the benefits ever kick in.
That's exactly where a nasal strip earns its place. Open the passages mechanically, reduce the resistance, and suddenly nasal breathing at threshold feels possible instead of punishing. The habit builds faster. The adaptation sticks.
Pneuma PowerLite SmallFit is the same 2-bar organic silk performance strip as the standard PowerLite, sized specifically for small-to-medium nose bridges — the same training-day airflow support, dialed in for a better anatomical fit.
Sized for a Smaller Nose Bridge — Better Fit Means Better Hold — A nasal strip that's too wide won't seat correctly across narrower nose bridges, which means reduced lift and a higher chance of peeling mid-effort. SmallFit closes that gap with a narrower strip profile sized for small-to-medium anatomy — so the adhesive makes full contact and the bars lift where they're actually needed.
Organic Silk on Skin, Not Plastic — While most nasal strips use synthetic materials, Pneuma's strips are made from natural silk with a hypoallergenic adhesive. Silk is breathable, flexible, and skin-friendly — it moves with your face through sweat and exertion without peeling, slipping, or leaving residue.
Comes with a Travel Mirror — Apply Anywhere — Each tin includes a built-in travel mirror for fast, precise placement before a race, a morning run, or at the gym. No fumbling, no guesswork. It's a small detail that matters when you're dialing in your pre-workout routine.
What does nasal breathing actually do for performance?
When your nasal passages are open, your body can maintain nasal breathing longer into a hard effort. Nasal breathing activates nitric oxide production — a molecule your blood vessels use to dilate and deliver more oxygen to working muscles — and keeps your nervous system from flipping into the stressed, fight-or-flight state that mouth breathing triggers. The result is better oxygen efficiency, more controlled breathing cadence, and less perceived effort at the same output.
How to Use Pneuma PowerLite Performance Tape
Before training: Clean and dry your nose bridge. Use the included travel mirror to center the strip across your nostrils and press the edges firmly to secure.
After training: Peel gently. Single use; dispose after each session.
Pro tip: Start using PowerLite on easy and moderate training days to build your nasal breathing habit before relying on it in races or hard intervals.

Pneuma PowerLite Performance Tape - Women's FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Pneuma PowerLite Performance Tape - Women's.
PowerLite Women's is Pneuma's daily training nasal strip sized for small-to-medium nose bridges. Same twin-bar design, same organic silk construction, same medical-grade hypoallergenic adhesive as the standard PowerLite — just a narrower profile so the strip actually seats flush and stays there. Comes in a 15-pack.
One thing: sizing. The lift, the materials, and the adhesive are identical. The Women's version runs a narrower profile designed for smaller nose bridge anatomy, which means full adhesive contact and a strip that won't peel at the edges mid-effort. If the standard PowerLite has ever felt too wide or started lifting during a hard session, this is the fix.
It's designed for small-to-medium nose bridges. If a standard nasal strip has ever felt oversized, gapped at the edges, or started peeling before you finished your workout, that's your answer — PowerLite Women's is built for your anatomy.
Absolutely. The "Women's" label describes the sizing, not who can wear it. Anyone with a narrower nose bridge will get a better fit, better adhesive contact, and more reliable lift from this strip than from the standard PowerLite. Fit is what matters.
Yes — the medical-grade hypoallergenic adhesive and organic silk construction are safe for overnight wear. That said, Pneuma also makes a 1-bar Original strip designed specifically for sleep if that's your primary goal. PowerLite Women's will work, but there's a purpose-built option if you want it.
