Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you wanted to know about Red Nose Factory noses — fit, color, care, shipping, and more.
How does a “self-attaching” clown nose work?
Red Nose Factory noses are handmade with our exclusive built-in attachment: the Funny Bone™. It’s a tiny, flexible horseshoe with rounded tips that rest inside your nostrils and apply gentle pressure, holding the nose comfortably in place. Carefully contoured shapes help the nose hug your face for stability. No fishing line. No glue. No fuss.
Your noses include measurements. How do I choose a nose that fits me?
Noses are like feet — they come in all shapes and sizes. A snug fit is key for comfort and ease of use. Some designs are petite and may not fully cover wider nostrils; others are larger and can feel loose on small faces.
- Measure your nose width (across the outer edges of your nostrils) using the guide on each product page.
- Compare your measurement to the nose’s listed maximum width.
- If you’re between sizes, our soft silicone usually makes a near-fit work well.
Still unsure? Contact us — we’re happy to help you pick your nose.
Can my nose be a color other than red?
Yes. Custom color requests are welcome. We offer a full range of skin tones, Deep Red, Clown Red, and specialty shades like blue, purple, green, pink, and lavender — plus glitter finishes. Share your preferred color at checkout or send a digital reference, and we’ll do our best to match it.
Do you ship to my country?
Yes — we ship worldwide. Orders typically leave our studio within 3–5 business days. International delivery is usually 2–3 weeks, depending on location and carrier. Use the shipping calculator at checkout for rates to your country.
How durable are your noses?
Our noses are cast in high-grade silicone rubber and finished by hand. They’re built for rehearsals, travel, and performance. With proper care, your nose can last for years.
How do I care for my clown nose?
- Rinse gently with mild soap and water if needed.
- Pat dry with a soft towel.
- Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sun and heat.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Because each nose is handmade to order, returns aren’t typical. If your nose arrives damaged or the fit isn’t working, contact us within 7 days — we’ll always do our best to help.
Can I place a bulk order for a troupe, school, or hospital program?
Yes. We regularly support clown troupes, theatre and circus schools, hospitals, and workshops. Send us your quantities, timing, and any custom needs for a quote.
Do you make custom designs or special shapes?
Custom shapes and specialty finishes may be available depending on our schedule. Share your concept, and we’ll let you know what’s possible and the timeline.
How long will my order take to make?
Most noses are made to order. Production time is typically 3–5 business days before shipping. Large or custom orders may require additional time; we’ll confirm after you submit details.
