Nasal Gels

Dear Forum,

I have seen a variety of names mentioned over the 2 months I am here, for nasal creams/gels that soothe sore noses and help with adjustment to nasal pillows.

I have used Ayr Gel, this often is recommended.
I remember KY Gel.
I have been following the debate over Vaseline.

If anyone uses other appropriate products, can you post them here, too. I would love to see and "exhaustive list" of what the nose can try.

THANKS, as always,
AII with a red right nare.

Secarius, Roezit are two others that I know about. I have tried the Secarius and liked it but I understand the Roezit to be excellent as well.

secarus is only available in canada and it has the exact same formulation as k-y jelly for "warming."

Lansinoh (ultra purified lanolin) It is marketed for use by breastfeeding moms, so you will find it in the baby department.

Cann-Ease Nasal Moisturizer, like Ayr Gel but without the fragrance, recommended by hospital sleep tech. Available many places on the Internet. I prefer it to Ayr Gel. Designed not to harm silicone nasal pillows.

Simply Saline makes a saline-based gel similar to Ayr. Also contains Aloe Vera. In addition to travel and dry sinuses, they market it specifically for those on "oxygen therapy."

Hopefully I won't add fire to the "great vaseline debate" but the reason I prefer the saline gels over vaseline is that they are easier to wash off/clean up in the morning. Also not as messy if it gets on bedsheets or clothing.

Another good way to use the vaseline....

It works great for taking tape residue off skin. I learned this years ago with my dogs. We tape ears to get them to stand properly and muct change tape. Vaseline is one of my favourite products. I now use it for my own tape residue (mouth)
