OMG it seems so easy, i bought this product a few days ago after my aunt convinced me to just go and get the netipot, it is so gross, but i went to the store and looked for it, and I seen this product next to the netipot. The bottle seemed easier so I got this instead but still hesitant to use it. But now that I watch this, it doesn't seem as bad! I'm gonna go try it now thanks! I been having stuffy nose and couldnt sleep for the past week, I hope this works!

Hope it worked for you!

Too bad she didn't start washing before her surgery, she may have prevented going under the knife. Hindsight:) Great to see her irrigating. I recommend you let her try it on her own. If she can brush her teeth by herself she can surely learn to wash her nose on her own. Great video!

Oh ya, just wanted to let you know that she does do it on her own sometimes now that she is older. She usually wants me to do it for her and by now I can tell pretty well if one side needs more saline than the other. It will be nice when she completely takes over the sinus-rinse duty someday! :)

At first I didnt wanna do that to my nose so my dad showed me this video and it made me feel better

[sydneybugsmom]

Glad it helped! I know it seems strange to flush water up your nose but for many people it feels good and really helps!

What's the difference between this bottle and the neti pot?

[TheSexyDoctor]

The pressure it causes damaged my ears! I really wouldn't suggest using it if you value your ears.

@steponmythroat I bought the NeilMed kit yesterday and used it for the first time. It is very easy to use. Keep the mouth open and everything should be fine.

its gross but cool at the same time

both myself and daughters are prone to stuffy noses (i've had 'post nasal drip') and have been on allergy meds all my life. my kids take allergy meds every day of the year to try to "prevent" infections. i've always felt guilty of this but then the guilt that comes w/them getting sinus infections immediately even if they miss ONE day makes me feel even worse so i just have continued the meds against my better judgement. question-is there any way they can choke on this? swallow it?

Does this help for allergies

God is good to actually have that little angel see another day! A child with Cystic fibrosis is more prone to actually dieing at the age of 3-8 months!! I was just diagnosed with it, but I'm just a carrier of that heinous disease! So keep doing the good work!!

My doc gave me one of these and I'm so oogy about water in my eyes or nose so I'm kind of dreading it! It's comforting to know that a 5 year old does this regularly and is so chill about it. I'll have to man up and just do it!
