After decades of sinus problems including frequent infections that often required multiple bouts of antibiotics to clear up, I was finally referred to an ENT specialist who prescribed sinus surgery. The partitions between my sinuses were all broken out in endoscopic surgery to allow better drainage. This bottle, in a kit with at least 50 premixed salt/baking soda packets, was required for use after the surgery 3x a day for two weeks and then 2x a day for a few more weeks, to keep the nasal cavities moist and wash out any crusts that had formed.
The sensation of having your sinuses filled with salt water takes a little getting used to, as well as learning how to breathe so as not to inhale the water. I never did get to the point of the other reviewer in letting it wash through my mouth -- ick. I bend over the sink and gently squeeze the bottle until the solution starts running out my other nostril, take the bottle away and snort it out, repeat with other nostril. Takes 3 squirts each side to empty the bottle. I've found I must tilt my head the opposite direction to fully empty that sinus -- i.e. if the bottle tip was inserted in my right nostril, I tilt my head to the left and blow. Have a tissue handy if you lean over later on, because some liquid may accumulate in your lower sinuses and run out when you bend sideways to look under the desk, for instance.
I still use this 2-3x a day whenever I get a cold along with the usual OTC cold meds and since the surgery I have never had to be on antibiotics, even though my sinuses still occasionally get infected I have been able to get over it on my own. The saline is very soothing to inflamed tissues (I also gargle salt water if I have a sore throat due to sinus drainage) and helps rinse out the gunk that causes infection.... Read more ›

When my allergist told me to use this product, I'll be honest. I had no intentions of using it. It wasn't until all of my coworkers started doing this & my little sister started using it & telling me how awesome she felt afterwards that I finally decided to try it. (Well, that & I had the beginnings of a bad cold.)
The product came with a few packets of the solution as well as a pre-filled bottle. After a few starts & stops, I finally managed to use the product. (I'm a wimp, what can I say?) The relief from this was quite noticeable. I was partially clogged in one nostril, not to mention congested & this helped immensely.
I don't think I'm likely to love the sensation of the solution going through my nasal passages, but my nose was far less clogged afterwards & I was able to ease my congestion a lot. I also liked that this was a squeeze bottle- I don't know if I'd have done this if I had to use the netipot version. (Did I mention that I'm a wimp?)
If you are debating whether or not to use this, get it. It really does help out a lot & as long as you are using it correctly it is very safe! If you are nervous about using it, don't be. This sinus rinse stuff is worth bolstering your courage for.

I've owned this for a year or so, and it's easier to use and more efficient than a neti pot, because you can apply a bit more force than a neti pot's gravity feed provides. The design is simple and works well, and it's easy to use and clean. I don't use it regularly (although I should), but I always turn to nasal lavage when I feel a cold or sinus infection coming on, and the procedure really seems to lessen the length and severity or the illness, or stope them altogether... I used to suffer for weeks with sinus infections in the winter, and now I use this twice a day for a few days when I feel one coming on, and it usually stops it.

This product really is a blessing to allergy sufferers, or at least this allergy sufferer.
For years I've had to load up on Claritin, Allegra, and Zyrtec, just to make my life tolerable; I have often resorted to using two of these medications at once, just because my body has developed a tolerance for them.
While I still need to use medications like Zyrtec, there days where heavy pollen or pollution require more than a conventional medication; this where the NeilMed Sinus Rinse comes in to play.
This kit only comes with a few packets of a sodium bicarbonate/saline powder that you mix with water, if you like the system you'll definitely need to buy more; if you don't like it, well then your out a few bucks and you're not stuck with 50 or 100 packets like the other kits. More importantly, this kit comes with the essential tool, the Neil Med Bottle. With a tube that almost touches the bottom of the bottle, the slightest pressure forces saline water through the nozzle like a little geyser.
Allowing the saline water to actually shoot up your nose and course its way down your nasal cavity and into your mouth takes some acclimation; it's definitely a weird sensation. But, its worth it. Somehow the solution is able to break down and flush out mucus and allergens stuck up there. After your nose dries out in a few minutes it's usually easier to breath through your nose.
Another benefit of the saline solution is that it makes life difficult for microbial residents in your sinuses. Especially those that cause sinus infections.
One word of warning: Some people might experience burning from the solution, it is a salt mixture after all. I haven't had this problem, but I figure everyone deserves a fair warning.... Read more ›

Really Helps!
This always helps me when my sinuses are all stopped up and I like the fact you are not using drugs, but simple salt water.

Must use daily
I would give it 5 stars BUT anyone that has used this OR need to use it daily like I do can relate to not giving it 5 stars! Helps me keep my sinuses open and infections reduced.

Better than the pot
I used the netipot for a while before switching to the rinse kit. The rinse kit does a better job of flushing all of the congestion and keeps my sinuses from drying out. Read more

It works
This sinus flush system seems to work well.
After I use it, my nose and sinuses feel like I just went swimming in salt water.
