Instructions & care

Please find here instructions for wearing and caring for a Red Nose Factory clown nose.

Putting on your nose

The Funny Bone Septum Clip is simple and while it may take a moment to learn you will soon find it quick and easy to put on and take off. Hold the nose with both hands between your thumbs and index fingers like it’s a little sandwich. Being careful not to crease the rubber, turn it partly inside out so that the Funny Bone sticks up and out of the nose. Each nose design needs a little different technique. Take your time and find the most gentle way. Once the balls are sticking out enough, insert them into the front of your nostrils one side at a time and use your index fingers to guide the top edge of rubber onto the bridge of your nose. You should clearly feel the septum clip comfortably inside the tip of your nostrils. Voila! For video instructions on how to use your nose visit our Youtube channel, Red Nose Factory.

Caring for your nose

Your new nose is made out of natural latex rubber and if you have chosen the gloss finish it is coated with a clear, UV protective barrier that both gives it a shiny gloss and makes it easy to clean. Oil or grease from your skin, sweat, make-up or dirt can deteriorate the rubber if left on it for long periods of time so be sure to wash it after each use with cold or warm soapy water. Do not use any alcohol-based cleaners. Also, for the same reason, wash your hands before handling it whenever possible. Lastly, excessive sunlight and heat will compromise your noses integrity. Be sure to store your nose respectfully whenever it is not in use. We recommend keeping it in its box and out of the sun. If you follow these steps you should have no problem using your new nose again and again for years
