Nasal Irrigation Device Adult Nasaline 1 ea Each

This is the best nasal irrigation device I have ever used. Because the neti pot relies on gravity to flush out your sinuses, it rarely worked for me as I almost always had partially clogged sinuses. The Nasaline uses positive pressure to clear blocked sinuses while rinsing. Also with the Nasaline you don't need to bend and twist your neck to use it.It's not as messy or as loud as using a nasal attachment onto your dental water-pik device or using a similar electrically powered pump device. You can also take the Nasaline into the shower and tilt your head up while irrigating if need be.The Nasopure system looks like a promising alternative to the neti pot but I feel the plastics are a bit on the cheap side and the Nasaline is easier to clean effectively. The makers of Nasaline suggest storing the Irrigator with its plunger installed in the syringe body to keep the rubber pump head from swelling.Some potential issues with Nasaline are the longevity of the device and the limited water capacity. The makers also recommend replacing the unit after 6 months of use, and neti pots and electric irrigation units last much longer. I'll be honest, I have kept mine much longer than that. The Nasaline does not hold a lot of water so you end up using 2 or more "plungers" full in each nostril.But for the price, portability, ease of use, ease of cleaning, effectiveness, etc. it can't be beat. It works well with Alkalol Nasal Wash too.

After my sinus surgery this summer, my ENT gave me an ineffective little syringe with a bendy extension to stick on it. What a waste of time that was! If it hadn't been drilled into my head that failure to irrigate would mean the surgery would fail, I would've given up. Instead, I went to Amazon and began researching!K. Houlding's review on page 1 pretty much says it all; I just want to add that if you've got a sensitive gag reflex as I do, there's a great tip for handling it. Before you start squirting, take a deep breath and slowly say, "Ahhhhhhhhh" the whole time the water is going up and through your sinuses. That does a pretty good job of keeping the salt water from running down your throat. Being an OCD shopper who always has to look for the best price, I searched all over for other sites selling the Nasaline. As far as I could find, NO brick & mortar giants have it--not Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Walgreen's, etc. The "free shipping" merchants on Amazon charge a lot more for the item than the ones who do charge for postage; since I was buying more than 1 irrigator, I chose one with a flat s/h fee no matter how many items were purchased. (It would have been annoying to pay $6 to ship one $12.50 irrigator, but for 3 of them it seemed okay.)

As a family who has sinus issues (2 have had the sinus surgery, all 4 have too-small passages, all used to get sinus infections 6-8 times a year), we've tried everything. And compared results. My mom has used a pricey electric nasal irrigator for the past 2 years and swears by it, and her sinus infections have been reduced by about half. I've tried out hers and used this Nasaline irrigator at home for the past 6 months, so let me compare the two for you:PROS to Nasaline over pricey electric:-you have greater control over the strength of the flow of water into your nose-non-plug-in so you can use it in the shower-smaller, easier to hide under the sink when guests come over-you don't have to clean it, you just buy a new one every month (the instructions make it clear it's intended to be disposable, not cleanable)-you can travel with itCONS to Nasaline over pricey electric:-you have to buy a new one instead of cleaning it (but at this price, who cares!)-you have to mix the saline solution yourself and the proper ratio is IMPORTANT, which would especially be a pain if you're going to use this several times a day, every dayTo solve the mixing problem, I just bought a clear Tervis tumbler and marked 8oz. on the side. The Nasaline lives in it, and the Tervis tumbler goes in the dishwasher every few days. Be sure to buy the pre-measured salt packets! (Each packet is for one use - it makes 2 full squirts per side of nose.)I don't use this 365 days/year, just when allergies are bad or a sinus infection is looming, although allergy season has been terrible this year. It has greatly reduced my dependency on Sudafed, and my sinuses definitely feel less pressurized and "cleaner" afterwards. I've always been dubious of spraying things up my nose (it took me years to come around to using Nasonex), so this was great "training wheels" for me to see if I could handle sinus irrigation. Great price, great control over the flow of water shooting up your nose -- I couldn't recommend enough.

I've used neti pots for years and I prefer this syringe. It works well. But there is a slight problem. After using a few times the syringe develops significant "stiction", that is, friction when it's not moving. That makes it hard to move it slowly. I did a lot of reading and the best solution I have found to that problem is silicone oil https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OBV1LMK/. That oil is FDA approved for food contact. As far as I can tell, it does not damage the rubber seal. Don't use vegetable glycerin, that degrades the rubber seal.About cleaning this device: I suggest not sharing yours with anyone. Get one per person. You'll probably never sterilize it but your nose isn't sterile either. Do disassemble it and rinse all parts thoroughly in warm water immediately after each use.You can easily make your own saline solution, it's very simple.One way to ensure the solution is the right temperature is to get a coffee mug warmer with adjustable temperature and set it to 102 degrees. Let the solution warm up in a suitable mug on the warmer for an hour or so before using.
