This saline spray has been a lifesaver for my daughter’s nose piercing. It’s gentle, easy to use, and really helps with healing without irritating her skin. The spray is fine and even, so it gets the piercing area well, and it keeps everything clean and comfortable. After a few weeks, her piercing has healed faster and with less redness or discomfort than I expected. We keep it on hand for daily care, and it’s super simple to use. Definitely a must-have if you’re dealing with piercings or just need a reliable saline spray. Read more
***WARNING: Amazon no longer accepts returns on this item as of 03/22/14.*** This is the best saline spray product on the market for nasal irrigation (I've tried them all). Why? Because of the "Large Volume Rinse Tip" included in the package. The unique shape allows you to do a full nasal rinse, just as you would with a Neti pot or NeilMed's Sinus Rinse Regular Bottle Kit , while other brands just allow you to moisturize your nasal passages. This is much more effective for removing allergens and gunk, and way more convenient than a Neti pot or a Sinus Rinse bottle. You can take it to work and rinse on the go. Ocean makes a similar product for nasal irrigation, Ocean Complete, Sinuse Rinse for Irrigation & Mist 1 ea , but the irrigation tip does not make a seal, and doesn't work nearly as well for irrigation. [Edit: this is no longer true. Ocean got wise to the competition and now includes a tip that makes a seal.] Since it comes in a sealed, pressurized bottle, there is no need for preservatives that can cause irritation for some people (me). Also, you don't have to boil any water to get rid of the brain-eating amoeba or other wee-beasties that could (if you are very very unlucky) be in your tap water, as you do with the other options. That said, this product has a few drawbacks. First, it is very expensive in comparison with a Neti pot or Sinus Rinse Bottle. Using the "Large Volume" tip, I only get about 10-15 uses out of it. The amount of water it holds is about the same as a single Sinus Rinse Bottle. I use it as a convenient alternative when I'm away from home or don't have time to use my Sinus Rinse Bottle. Second, about 1/3 of the cans I've bought (and I've bought quite a few) have been defective. Either they lack water pressure, or lose it quickly because the cap seal is bad. One even shot water into my nose like a machine gun (ouch). I've always been able to return the ones that were defective. Despite the flaws, I still buy these regularly. I'm giving it 4 stars because it is an innovative new product, and because I have hope that with time NeilMed will figure out a way to improve quality control. If enough people buy them I expect they will get cheaper as well. UPDATE 11/07/13: Since I wrote this review, the quality control seems much improved. It has been a year or so since I've received a defective can from Amazon or my local Walgreens. I'm upping my rating to 5 stars. UPDATE 03/22/14: Quality control seems to have slipped again. I have received defective cans from both Walgreens and Amazon in the past two months. Also, Amazon no longer accepts returns on this item, so I will no longer be ordering from here. Read more
I have written several reviews about different saline sprays and neti pots as I am a regular user and tend to buy them all on Amazon. However this is a real game changer. It is great for travel if you don’t want to bring distilled water and a neti pot or if you are feeling to ill to go through all the other preparation but know you need a deep clean out. It is expensive, but worth it for travel and back up at the house for when I’m too sick or too tired to use a real neti pot. Whoever invented this is a genius! Read more
During the worst of my seasonal allergies this does the job clearing my nasal passages and giving me the relief i desperately need. The multiple nozzles are helpful although i figure most people will pick one(like i did) and just use that one. Bear in mind there is a lot of fluid under pressure and getting the nozzle on and off can be slightly tricky at first without wetting the room and or yourself. Maybe try it in the shower the first time. Super easy to use, and powerful if you use the largest nozzle. Convenient for travel. Read more
Been having the worst congestion for more than a month! This stuff does the job and is a lifesaver. I've been sick on and off for more than 2 months and using this even just one time made my nasal passages more clear than it has been in a long time. Just a word of warning be careful when you put on the attachments (the pressurized water will spray everywhere!!) Read more
I want to start by saying that the solution itself actually works well and does exactly what it is described to do. However, the design and the actual amount of product you get make this a terrible value. You will get a maximum of one full application per can (maybe two times if you are incredibly lucky). The directions instruct you to allow the solution to flow for one to two seconds between nostrils. The reality is that by the time it actually takes for your nostrils to open up, you have already consumed most of the can. I saw previous reviews warning about how quickly this runs out, but I was skeptical. Now that I’ve experienced it myself, I am in full agreement with those complaints. Bottom line: No matter how well it works, getting only 1 or 2 applications per can is just way too cost-prohibitive. Save your money and look for a different solution. Read more
Love the product and would buy it again. The previous one had a defect in the can and the seller said he would send me another one- I didn’t receive si I ordered another one and I received it yesterday. Read more
