Sinugator?
Sinugator?
I was just wondering if anyone has used the Sinugator & what your thoughts are on it.. I am trying to find something that is different from the neti pot. There is a new product out that I can't remember the name of, but if anyone has different ideas please let me know. Any suggestions will be much appreciated

Re: Sinugator?
I have no experience with it, but wasn't this the product that is a Water-pik for the nose (at least that's what it seemed like to me)? I would be scared to use it myself, but then again, I think the Netipots are like water boarding. I know that those who use the Netipots though swear by them

Yes I suppose you could call it a water-pik for the nose . I have tried the netipot & hate, but I have to do something. I am just trying to see if there might be something better maybe a little easier.

There is the WaterPik SinuSense. It is like the bottle but it uses battery-powered pressure and I can say that it definitely works.

DJ_Boxer:: If I understand your post, you have used the WaterPik? I might just try it...Thank you for your response.DJ_Boxer wrote:There is the WaterPik SinuSense. It is like the bottle but it uses battery-powered pressure and I can say that it definitely works.
Re: Sinugator?
I use the Neils Rinse. It is a soft plastic bottle instead of the neti pot. I really don't like using it at all but it definitely helps.
Keep smiling it makes people wonder what you are up to.

Re: Sinugator?
I use the squeeze bottle one myself, and love it over the neti pot. I find the neti pot is a little uncomfortable to have to tilt the head to the side. A battery operated one sounds awesome, I might just have to go out and get one.

SleepingBear: Do you have a link to the one you use?
Thanks

Re: Sinugator?
The ''NeilMed" sinus rinse is a soft bottle which is filled with saline solution (buy or make your own) and is squeeable. Seems to work better for me over the meti-pot, which I used for years. I bought mine at a Publix super market. $14 and change.

Thank you Pap4life.
Re: Sinugator?
I've never heard of the Sinugator, and had a hard time using a Neti pot. I always felt like I had a good tumble in the ocean when I used it. I have used the NeilMed Sinus Rinse with ease. I've even come to enjoy the clear feeling in my nose. I call it "swishing my nose." They recommend that you do it at least an hour before bedtime, but I have found it works best if I do it 3-4 hours before. I also use it immediately after yardwork or anything that evokes a sneezing fit, like dusting.

Napstress: I checked out the NeilMed Sinus Rinse. I think I will try that before the Water-Pik one, it just looks safer. I made a few liners for my Mirage Liberty also..hopefully I will get a more comfortable sleep!!
Thanks
Thanks
Re: Sinugator?
I use a WaterPik and an attachment similar to http://www.amazon.com/Sinupulse-Elite-R ... B001CWRH2E.
A good, inexpensive solution if you already have a WaterPik. Earl

Re: Sinugator?
I have the original version of this (an attachment that goes with a regular old WaterPik, but it looks nearly identical to the one you show). I've been using it for probably 15 years. It's nice to be able to fine-tune the pressure, and I find it a lot more comfortable to use than my Neti pot is.poppi2 wrote:I use a WaterPik and an attachment similar to http://www.amazon.com/Sinupulse-Elite-R ...

Re: Sinugator?
Here is the link to what I am using: http://www.waterpik.com/sinus-health/pr ... r-pulsator. I have never used any attachments for the Flosser so I can't comment on that. I have also tried the Neilmed Sinus Bottle but have a preference for the SinusRinse and the Netipot.
