Comments about WaterPik SinuSense Neti Pot, 1 ea: I ordered the Waterpik Neti Pot as a part of a [$] online promotion they held a couple of months ago. I planned on giving it to my boyfriend because the idea of purposefully putting salt water up my nose just did not appeal to me. Last week I came down with some type of cold/allergy induced sinus problems including sore throat, coughing, and congestion. It was then I remembered the Neti Pot sitting, unopened, under my bathroom sink. I was so miserable at this point that I decided to dig it out and give it a go.The instructions were clear and helpful. I used lukewarm water (too hot and it can hurt!) and one packet of provided saline. You tilt you head to the side and slightly forward and let the water run in one nostril and out the other, by way of gravity. If you're very congested (as I was) it may take a minute for the water to come out as a steady stream. It will drip until it finally breaks through the mucus causing your congestion. While the solution is working it's way through your congestion it may also go down the back of your throat a bit, because of all the blockage in your nose. Just tilt your head forward a little more and spit it out. It just tastes like the ocean haha. Without going into too much graphic detail about what comes out of your nose with the use of the Neti Pot... I definitely recommend this product! As someone who was originally creeped out by the thought of the whole process, I've been converted! I'm now finally getting over my sickness but still have bouts of thick mucus I can feel coming down the back of my throat. When this happens the Neti Pot comes to my aid and cleans it right out! It really is a miracle, and a great alternative to steroid nose sprays (but those are amazing too...)Try it out, you won't be disappointed! Pros

Comments about WaterPik SinuSense Neti Pot, 1 ea: I suffer from seasonal allergies and wanted to try something besides the usual antihistamines and nasal sprays. I decided to give this a try although it sounded gross. I read the directions carefully and got the hang of it almost immediately. As long as you breathe through your mouth you shouldn't get any of the solution down your throat. I noticed an improvement in my symptoms after 2 treatments. I skipped using it the next day and my symptoms started again, and I go relief when I started using it again. However, if you have any stuffiness in your ear don't use as it will make it worse. It is made of cheap plastic but it serves the purpose. Displaying reviews 1-2 ![]() |
