  • Seals the nose gap in your mask

  • Invisible to your crew

  • No fog. No heat. All shift.

  • "These fill the gap I didn't know I needed"

    I wear a half-face respirator every day on site. Thought I was covered. Then I tried these underneath and pulled the filter out after one shift of concrete cutting. Still black. All that was getting past my respirator through the nose bridge. Not anymore.

  • "No more black boogers after my shift"

    Been welding for 14 years. MIG, TIG, grinding, the works. Always blew black into a tissue on the drive home. Figured that was just part of the job. First day with these in, I pulled the filter out and it was pitch black. My tissue was clean. Wore them every shift since.

  • "After 10 hours, pulling them out felt like breathing new air"

    I do structural steel. 10-hour shifts, sometimes 12. Forgot they were in by the second hour. End of the day I pulled them out and the filters were brown and gray. My nose was clean for the first time in years. My wife noticed before I did.

  • "I never realized how much sawdust I was still breathing"

    I only mask up for the table saw and router. All the quick cuts, sanding, cleanup — I just breathe through it. Put these in for a week in the shop. Every single filter came out tan and dusty. That was eye-opening.

  • "The amount of particulate they caught on one site visit was crazy"

    Did a walkthrough of an active demo site. Just 45 minutes. Pulled the filters out in the truck and they were gray. I wasn't even doing the work, just inspecting. Ordered a box for every crew lead that week.

  • "Nobody on my crew knows I wear them"

    That was the whole point for me. I'm not the guy who wears the mask. But I've got a kid now and I'm thinking different. These go in, nobody sees them, and I'm not breathing in fumes all day. Simple as that.

    This is what one shift looks like.

    The filter on the right spent 8 hours inside a welder's nose. Everything on it would have gone straight to his lungs.

    That black residue is metal fumes, grinding dust, and whatever else was in the air that day.

    Now multiply that by 250 working days. Then by 20 years. That's 5,000 shifts worth of metal fumes, silica, and grinding dust.

    All going straight to lung tissue that doesn't heal.

    Three steps. Under a minute.

    Step 1: Find your fit

    Slide them in. After about 30 seconds, you won't feel them. Weld, grind, cut, lift. They stay put.

    Step 2: Insert and forget

    3 sizes. Check our Sizing Guide. Most start with Medium.

    Step 3: Check the filter

    End of shift. Pull them out. Look at what they caught. That's what would have been in your lungs.

    Think of it like a HEPA filter inside your nose. Your nose has natural defenses: tiny hairs and mucus. They handle normal air fine.

    But they were never built for hexavalent chromium from stainless steel, zinc oxide from galvanized, or silica from concrete cutting.

    BreathePads add the filter layer your nose is missing.

    Why I built this.

    A welder I know showed me the inside of his respirator pre-filter after one day of hard facing. It was black. Clogged.

    One day. Then he told me most guys don't wear a respirator at all. Too hot. Fogs the helmet.

    Doesn't seal over their beard. So they just breathe it in and blow black into a tissue at the end of every shift. Normal day.

    I looked into the data. Welding fumes are classified as a Group 1 carcinogen. Same category as asbestos.Lung cancer rates are 5x higher in retired steelworkers.

    Construction workers are getting diagnosed with silicosis in their 30s. And the guys doing this work every day? Most of them have never heard any of this.

    The protection exists. Respirators work. But if nobody wears them because they're miserable, they're not protecting anyone.

    I built BreathePads to fill the gap between a full respirator and nothing. Not a respirator replacement.

    An invisible filter that sits inside your nose, seals the gap your mask leaves at the bridge, and actually gets worn because you forget it's there.

    Your lungs are the one tool you can't replace.

    Straight answers.

    Is this a respirator replacement?

    No. For heavy fume work like galvanized welding or confined spaces, wear a proper respirator. BreathePads go inside your respirator to catch what slips through the nose bridge gap. For lighter dust like grinding or sweeping, they work on their own.

    Yes. BreathePads sit inside your nostrils and add zero bulk. Wear them under your welding hood, hard hat, or any respirator. They catch the particles that slip through the nose bridge gaps.

    They won't know. BreathePads sit inside your nostrils and are invisible from the outside. No explanation needed to coworkers. One user said his crew thought the bridge piece was a nose piercing.

    Built for shop heat and summer job sites. Sweat doesn't affect the fit or filtration. They stay put through 12-hour shifts of heavy physical work.

    Yes. Zero breathing resistance. Not like sucking air through a cartridge respirator. You breathe normally while welding, grinding, lifting, or climbing. The filter catches particles without restricting airflow.

    BreathePads sit inside your nostrils, not against your face. Full beard, mustache, three-day stubble. Doesn't matter. No fit tests. No shaving required.

    One pair lasts one shift, up to 12 hours. Replace daily for best filtration. Your monthly subscription includes 30 pairs. Pull them out at the end of your shift and look at what they caught.

    $16.99 per month. That's $0.57 per day, about the cost of a disposable N95. Except these are invisible, don't trap heat, don't fog your glasses, and you'll actually wear them. Free US shipping, cancel anytime.

    Yes. For heavy silica exposure like dry cutting concrete, wear them inside your respirator as an extra layer. For general site dust and sweeping, they work on their own. Independent lab testing for specific capture rates on silica-size particles is in progress.
