Will it restrict my breathing on the job?
Will it restrict my breathing on the job?
No. BreatheX is designed to allow natural airflow while filtering particles. Most users forget they’re even wearing it after a few minutes.
Can I wear them for a full 12-hour shift?
Can I wear them for a full 12-hour shift?
You can comfortably wear BreatheX for several hours at a time during high-exposure activities like commuting, traveling, or spending time outdoors.
How does it actually catch dust and fumes?
How does it actually catch dust and fumes?
BreatheX sits discreetly inside the nostrils and helps filter incoming air before it reaches your nasal passages. It’s designed to reduce exposure to pollen, dust, and airborne irritants — so you can breathe more comfortably.
That black stuff? It would have been in your lungs.
Left: new filter.
Right: after one shift of grinding.
Now multiply that by 250 working days a year.
Your mask has a gap at the nose bridge. Dust slips through. BreathePads sit inside your nostrils and seal that gap from the inside.
How BreathePads work.
Like a HEPA filter. Inside your nose.
1. Find your fit
3 sizes. Check our Sizing Guide. Most start with Medium.
2. Insert and forget
Slide them in. After about 30 seconds, you won't feel them. Weld, grind, cut, lift. They stay put.
3. Check the filter
Pull them out. See what they caught. That's your proof.
Your nose has built-in filters: tiny hairs and mucus. They handle normal air fine. They were never meant for hexavalent chromium from stainless steel, zinc oxide from galvanized, or silica from concrete cutting. BreathePads add the filter layer your nose is missing.
Black boogers after every shift? That's your lungs losing.
Every time you blow black, that's metal fumes and grinding dust that made it past your mask. Your respirator covers your face. But dust slips in through the gaps around the nose bridge. BreathePads sit inside your nostrils and seal that gap from the inside.
✓ Catches metal fumes, grinding dust, hexavalent chromium particles
✓ Fits inside any welding hood, half-face, or full-face respirator
✓ No fogging your helmet lens. No "hot as hell" face seal.
✓ MIG, TIG, stick, flux-core, grinding, cutting, gouging
Silicosis has no cure. It has prevention.
Concrete cutting. Core drilling. Demo. Drywall sanding. Silica dust is so fine you can't see it. But it's scarring your lungs every shift. Your N95 gaps at the nose bridge and it's around your chin by lunch. BreathePads seal the gap from the inside and stay put all shift.
✓ Catches silica, concrete dust, drywall dust, lead particles
✓ No soggy mask. No nose-bridge gap. No chin strap by noon.
✓ Wear inside your N95 or standalone on lighter-dust days
✓ Comfortable from first pour to last sweep
You mask up for the big cuts. What about the other 50?
The quick rip on the table saw. The fast sand before stain. The miter dust you walk through 20 times a day. You're not putting on a respirator for those. But that's the exposure that adds up over years. BreathePads sit in your nose all day and catch it without you thinking about it.
✓ Catches fine sawdust, MDF dust, sanding particles
✓ No fogged safety glasses at the table saw
✓ Invisible when clients walk through the job
✓ Layer inside your respirator for spray and finish work
Strapped to your face. Fogged up. And still not sealing.
If your respirator actually protected you, you wouldn't have black stuff in your nose at the end of every shift. See why the filter belongs inside your nostrils, not over your face.
Your lungs don't get a second chance.
One pair per shift. $0.67/day. Less than the coffee you grab on the way to the site.

A welder showed me his respirator pre-filter after one day of hard facing. It was black. Then he told me most guys don't even wear one. Too hot. Fogs the helmet. Doesn't seal over their beard. So they breathe in everything and blow black into a tissue like it's normal.
I built BreathePads to fill the gap. Not a respirator replacement. An invisible filter that sits inside your nose, seals the gap your mask leaves, and actually gets worn because you forget it's there.
Your lungs are the one tool you can't replace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear these under my welding hood and respirator?
Can I wear these under my welding hood and respirator?
Yes. BreathePads sit inside your nostrils and add zero bulk. Wear them under your welding hood, hard hat, or any respirator. They catch particles that slip through the nose bridge gap.
Are these a replacement for a respirator?
Are these a replacement for a respirator?
No, and we won't pretend they are. In heavy fume environments, wear a proper respirator. BreathePads are an additional layer that catches what slips through the nose bridge gap, or standalone for lighter dust exposure.
Do they rescrict breathing during heavy work?
Do they rescrict breathing during heavy work?
No. Zero resistance. You breathe normally while welding, grinding, lifting, climbing. The filter catches particles without restricting airflow.
Will my crew laugh at me?

They won't know you're wearing them. BreathePads sit inside your nostrils and are invisible from the outside. Nobody sees them, nobody asks.
What about facial hair?
What about facial hair?
They sit inside your nostrils, not against your face. Full beard, mustache, 3-day stubble. Doesn't matter. You'll never have to shave for a fit test.
