Growing Up with Asthma

If you’ve had asthma for as long as you can remember, it’s not just a condition — it’s part of your life story.

You might remember the school trips where you had to hand your inhaler to the teacher “just in case.” Or the nights you sat upright in bed because lying down made breathing harder. Maybe you were the kid who couldn’t finish P.E. or who quietly panicked at sleepovers without your preventer.

And maybe, over the years, you’ve learned to live with it — but never quite feel comfortable owning it.

Asthma has a way of shaping your habits and, sometimes, your confidence. Even as an adult, those old feelings of embarrassment can linger. You keep your inhaler close, but out of sight. You use it quickly, discreetly. And maybe, sometimes, you delay using it altogether — not because you don’t need it, but because you’ve spent a lifetime feeling like you shouldn’t have to.

But here’s the truth: You’ve done something incredible. You’ve managed a lifelong condition, every single day.And that deserves to be recognised — not hidden.

You’re not the same person you were when you were first handed that blue inhaler.

You’ve grown up. You’ve built a life. Maybe you’re a parent now, or someone others rely on. You’ve navigated school, work, relationships — all while carrying the weight of something invisible to most people.

That kind of resilience? It’s rare. And it deserves to be celebrated.

At The Inhaler Tailor, we hear from so many people who’ve had asthma their whole lives. Some tell us they used to feel ashamed. Others say they were simply tired of the medical look of their inhalers — tired of feeling like a patient first and a person second.

So we set out to change that.

You’ve lived your life on your terms — now your inhaler can reflect that.

Our cases aren’t just for kids or newly diagnosed adults. They’re for people like you: People who’ve lived with asthma long enough to want something better. Something that doesn’t remind you of hospital visits or early mornings coughing.Something that feels more like you.

Whether it’s a case that matches your handbag, your personality, or your sense of humour — it’s a small but powerful reminder that asthma doesn’t define you.

💬 “I’ve had asthma since I was 7. I never thought something so small could make me feel seen.”

💬 “It’s a little thing, but it’s changed how I feel when I use my inhaler — especially around others.”

You’ve done the hard part — you’ve lived with asthma. Now it’s time to feel a little more proud, a little more confident, and a lot more like yourself.
