Review on NoseFrida Saline Mist: All-Natural Nasal Softener For Optimal Snot Removal by Ryan Rea

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great, but prepare to get sick

First off - this thing can run circles around the bulb aspirators. Baby hates it, but at least it's effective and over quickly. Can't really clean the tubing, though, and if you put a few drops of rubbing alcohol in like it recommends, that's what you inhale next time you use it. We made sure to change out the filter every time we used it (even bought extras), but it's literally just a little piece of synthetic sponge. It keeps the snot out of the tubing (which, as stated earlier, is basically impossible to clean), but the germs still get a fast pass into your mouth. We've never been more sick than we were after using this. Would I do it again to help my baby breathe and be less miserable? Maybe, if I couldn't find a suitable alternative.

Pros
  • Pediatrician recommended
Cons
  • Can be difficult to use on young children who are uncooperative or unaccustomed to the process
