Your favourite nostril

This might sound a bit silly, but I somehow prefer the left nostril. I mean I always snuff with both, but for some reason its much more likely to get some snuff in my throat when I use my right nostril. So Im curious, do you have a favourite one too?

Quite the same in my case, except the fact that the right nostril is the one I prefer.

LMAO I was thinking this SAME THING! I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem… I have to be more careful with my right than my left for some reason… and I always end up snuffing more with my right because sometimes it just goes to my throat

Left nostril works better for me too because my right nostril clogs easier. Often I just pass the right and snuff with the left nostril.

I’m the same way. Usually what I do is most of my pinch goes in my left nostril. Then I use my right nostril to ā€˜clean’ off my fingers. I read on here how even though you’re thinking about using whichever nostril works best, your brain still takes in air through both. When I’m feeling adventurous and try to use my right nostril. I just pretend I’m getting ready to use my left nostril and don’t concentrate at all on the ā€˜bad’ nostril.

Right nostril. With age my hands have gotten spastic. Left hand + left nostril = tobacco all over my shirt, all over the desk, all over one of the cats, etc.

I’m quite happy to say that since I kicked the nasal spray I can use both just about all the time. I’ll never touch that stuff again.

It bothers me a lot of one nostril is plugged and I can’t snuff in both. I end up taking pinches of ā€œirritatingā€ snuffs and blowing until they are both open.

LMAO my middle.

@Snuffhead LMAO…My cravings are so bad at times I wish I had a middle then.

Left first, always!!

@snuffhead *grin*

I’m a lefty…I thought I was the only one who had this problem.

Same here, by Zeus! Although I’m in the ā€˜preferring the right nostril’ brigade. Using the back-of-the-hand method, I often tend to hoover up most with the right, then ā€˜finish off’ with the left.

Right

I’m ambi-nostrilled. I use both about the same.

Left nostril works better, nose has been broken a couple of times and the right one is just not what it used to be. Nose leans that way a bit now and makes the right one a bit smaller. :smiley:

left

Great thread @nunoH – Pinches are with the right-hand fingers, begin with a wee whiff in the right nostril, followed by a bigger snort in the left–from the same pinch, repeated as necessary; tap boxes are held with the right hand and snuffed from the left hand, into the right nostril first and cleaned up with the left; bullets are held with the hand and twisted with the right, then the bullet is shifted to the right hand, and will hit the right nostril, repeated at alternating nostrils as necessary. (At least that’s how I did all these as I just now tried.)

Left. Right one seems half clogged more times than not these days. I think I need to neti pot more often. I’ve gotten out of the habit of using it daily.
