Nampons debuts at Walmart
Nampons, a consumer brand for the treatment of nosebleeds, is expanding its retail availability with the launch of Nampons and Nampons Kids at select Walmart stores nationwide.
This expansion comes just in time for allergy season—a time of year when nosebleeds are especially common, the company noted.
Nampons and Nampons Kids are designed to stop bleeding quickly by gently expanding inside the nose while applying light pressure. "Unlike traditional methods such as tissues or tilting the head back—which can worsen the situation—Nampons provide a safe, fast, and effective solution trusted by medical professionals," the company said.

“For years, people have relied on outdated and ineffective nosebleed remedies,” said Tonia Farmer, board-certified otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon, and chief medical advisor for Nampons. “Nampons offers a great solution used by thousands of doctors, school nurses, athletic trainers, and first responders to stop nosebleeds quickly and effectively.”
More than 65 million Americans experience nosebleeds each year, with children between the ages of 2 and 10, as well as adults between 50 and 80, being the most affected.
Nampons contain a proprietary, patented micro-dispersed oxidized cellulose that has been used in hospitals and by first responders for over 50 years to control mild to moderate bleeding, the company said. Each Nampon is individually packaged to ensure cleanliness and is non-stick for painless removal.
“We’ve seen overwhelming demand from parents, athletes and nosebleed sufferers looking for an easy-to-use, effective solution,” said Joshua Lippiner, founder of Nampons. “Nampons has become one of Amazon’s top-selling first-aid products, and we’re thrilled to expand our availability at Walmart to help even more people find fast relief.”
