NeilMedNasaflo Porcelain Neti Pot, 50 Count (packaging may vary)

I have suffered from nasal allergies since i was a child. I'm 37 years old. as a child until i was a teenager, i required weekly allergy shots to keep my nasal passages clear. Once i became a teenager, doctor switched me to claratin-D, once daily. Now, that worked really well for me. fast forward a few years..then the drug addicts out there figured out they could cook the Clartin-D tablets down to get the drug to make speed. then congress regulated these types of medicines (that contain Pseudorine) essentially, limiting you to 14 pills for 30 days) well anyone suffering from allergies KNOWS that if you don't take it daily, your going to be in for a hell of a time when you run out). well, you guessed it, after 14 days and my pills ran out, i would be RIGHT Back to the misery until i could get a refill.i found other OTC medications that seemed to work without the Pseudorine. So, for a period of several years, i had my allergies under control, (or so I thought. recent research has shed light that it's not healthy to use pseudorine daily due to side effects (elevated blood pressure, etc).in early march of 2018, i had one of the most SEVERE allergy flare ups of my life. severe nose and chest congestion. never in my life had i ever had it this bad. So, i went to doctor and got some Flonase and zrytec.after about 3 weeks of continued misery, I started asking friends about what i could do that would actually work. co-worker suggested the netti-pot. I've never in my life been a fan of having something up my nose, i can't stand nasal spray and saline rinses. just don't like the feeling, but after all this misery and suffering i was willing to do anything to get some relief.i came online and ordered the ceramic netti pot. wanted to go with the cermaic over the plastic verison because this is something i need to use daily. and i have seen POOR reviews about the plastic version.I reside in virginia, and this product ships from California. much to my disappointment. took about a week to get it.It was packaged nicely and arrived un-damaged. you get 1 netti pot, instruction booklet, and 50 packs of the saline solution.I ran some hot water through the netti pot to clean it before use.very easy to use. here are the steps.1. fill netti pot with FILTERED OR DISTILLED WATER. NEVER EVER use straight tap water, (unless you want your nose to feel like it's on fire).2. pour in the Pre-Measured saline solution. make sure you stir in the solution!3. microwave netti pot for 45 seconds to a minute. water should be LUKEWARM. not cold and NOT hot. this is very important.4. go to sink in bathroom.5. tilt your head to the side and lean forward. insert neti pot into one of your nostrils.6. tilt netti pot slightly forward,into your nostril. you will feel the solution start going up your nose and eventually come out the other side. it feels strange at first for about 10 seconds it causes a drowning sensation.7. keep your mouth OPEN!8. empty half of the netti pot into one nostril, then do the other nostril.9. watch all kinds of green and clear junk come out of your nostrils and fall into the sink.10. when all soultion is gone. rinse netti-pot out really well and make sure you let it dry throughly.11. blow your nose very Gently to remove all saline and mucus.that's it! watching all that junk come out of your nose is bittersweet. you willl INSTANTLY feel much better. instructions indicate you can do this 2 or 3 times a day as needed. immediately, after the first time i felt like a new person. didn't realize something so simple could be so effective. the less than 15.00 price tag really sealed the deal.i have had this product less than a week, but didn't want to wait any longer to write a glowing review. this thing is nothing short of MAGICAL. by far the best purchase i have made in several years.if you suffer from allergies, order this today. you will be glad you did!! i know i was!

Ceramic pot is so much better than plastic. My plastic one leaked and never felt like it was clean.This one works great.

I love it. It is sturdy. It has a large spout so that it really stays securely in your nostril. I wish it didn't say the name of the product on it, though. It just looks tacky. But it is otherwise very nice.

This ceramic pot is way nicer, is built strong, and flows out smoothly. Helps clean the sinuses. Holds the right amount of water for a thorough clean.

Doesn’t smell. Rinses nicely in neddie pot. Very thick quality. Solid. Would recommend

I thought that a NetiPot was the weirdest idea until I was really sick one time and someone finally convinced me to try it. I thought it would feel like when you inhale water by mistake through your nose when you are swimming (that's the worst!). But it didn't. It's very easy to do, if you just exactly follow the instructions. This one is nice because it is porcelain and I am anti-plastic personally. Little bit more of an investment, but they work.

The lid doesn't fit the top securely and can fall/slide off. Gaps where the lid doesn't fit causes water to leak and spill out of the top when you try to pour the saline solution.

On the one hand, the neti pot is easy to use and provides a convenient way to clean my sinuses. The pot's design is also well thought out, making it easy to control the water flow and ensure it goes where it is needed.On the other hand, I found the neti pot to be uncomfortable to use. The water can sometimes get into my throat, causing me to cough, and the sensation of the water flowing through my sinuses can be unsettling. I also need to use the neti pot several times a day to achieve the desired effect, which can be time-consuming.In terms of performance, the neti pot effectively cleans my sinuses. I have noticed a reduction in the amount of mucus in my sinuses and an improvement in my overall sinus health. However, I have also found that the neti pot can be messy and difficult to clean, which can be challenging.Overall, I would give the neti pot a neutral rating. It provides a convenient and effective solution for cleaning my sinuses, but it can also be uncomfortable and messy. Considering a neti pot, weighing the benefits and drawbacks is important to determine if it is the right solution for you.
