Hold your nose

What verb is used to say "hold your nose"? The translator gave me "sostener". My understanding is sostener is to hold up or support. Can it be used to express the idea of holding your nose? ¿Se puede sostener la nariz?

We say Taparse la nariz to keep from smelling or to keep out water, etc.
