Found both of these a month and ~400 miles apart. Holds or leashes for something?
Nose plugs for kayaking and similar activities

This is correct, I’ve lost many a pair cause I don’t like how they feel though soooo
Wild that people wear them while doing physical activity...
Like, it would fuck my breathing up.
Can you not do that thing where you seal your nasal cavity at the back of your throat? I imagine it's like wiggling your ears or making your eardrums "rumble", you can learn it's just hard to explain to someone else how to do it.
And on top of that you look like a character from the movie Battlefield Earth
Holy shit, I forgot about that... What a disaster of a movie, Hubbard was such a hack.
"mAn aNiMaL!"
I think for a lot of people, myself included, water in the nasal cavity feels terrible no matter what. I feel it's less about preventing water from entering your throat and more about keeping water out of your nose entirely.
Eh, blowing air out after is kinda the same reflex. And decent seawater is basically netty potting yourself everytime you go under. I was in a situation to go to the beach every day for a year straight, and it was the best my allergies have ever been because at least once a day I was flushing it out with warm seawater.
Keep in mind, the alternative here is wearing nose plugs during prolonged physical activity. Restricting breathing during physical exertion is going to rub a lot more people the wrong way.
So I'm surprised people would deal with that, over the chance of some water going up their nose.
I don't understand either, I can't do it manually my brain just does it anytime I go underwater. I can jump in water with my mouth open and nothing enters my body 🤷
Yeah, I can do all three. And you can also stick your tongue up your nose from the inside of your mouth, I can do that too. I was quite bored as a child.
