Its in the cold & allergy med isle...usually its higher up, around the same area as the spray nasal decongestion like Afrin...I just bought some Thursday night- it comes in a pale olive green box with white lettering and yellow accents. Ayr also makes a saline spray so don't grab the wrong type by mistake. WalMart also carries another brand called Little Noses that is with the kids cough and allergy stuff, since its used for babies....its the exact same thing so either will work as long as you don't mind the brand name. Forget asking the greeters...the pharmacist will known exactly were its at if you can't find it on your next trip.

Does anyone think big stores like WalMart should have computers were you could type in what you are looking for to get its exact department and shelf location? No one person can know were every little item is and so many times I've been sent on a wild goose chase from one end of the store to another when an associate got mixed up on where something is. Most of the time I find other shoppers know what stuff is in what departments more so then employees.

To Margaret, Thank you for the encouraging post re: not being too aware of wearing the Swift. I will report later on in this post how the Ayr Gel and the Swift are working for me. CareS

I say they need to forget the different color plastic 'bows'
for the CC and make different thickness cheekpads...but what do
we know...we're only the people who have to use these things
night after night

You hit the nail on the head, christine!

I've recently acquired another Comfort Curve to try - with the improved headgear.
Tonight I'll give it a whirl and begin lab-ratting with some sharp little scissors, too.
Thanks for the tip on what type of scissors might be safest to attack it with.

The first Comfort Curve I tried out was with the original headgear. Also, it was a
borrowed CC, so I didn't want to mutilate it and send it back in shreds.
Those huge cheek slabs were just awful on me. Felt like my face
was clamped in a vise. Leaked every time I turned onto my side.

This one, though... I can gnaw it to pieces, as lab rats tend to do.

Christine -

Hear, hear for having a number of computer terminals at ANY big "BOX" store to find what you want and where . This is a great idea!

Hi all,
I finally, finally, finally found a box of Ayr gel (on the bottom shelf, no less) but at least I know now why I couldn't locate it before. I was definitely looking in the wrong department! I bought a box and it came with a nifty tube of metholated vapor inhaler that could come in handy during cold season. Anyway, I tried the Ayr gel last night. It made a huge difference in how my nose felt all night. So much better than what I was using (which I won't mention here). Thanks for the help (and directions).

for those that can't find Ayr, good sustitutes are Castor Oil, and KY (not the new heating kind, that would be an experience ).


As to the Walmart suggestion, I will pass it on, my brother is a VP in Bentonville. I think it's a good suggestion.

Our Wal-Mart doesn't carry Ayr. I found mine in the grocery store with the Afrin and nose sprays. As someone said, make sure to get gel and not spray.

I found a generic kind of the "old fashioned KY" that R&R recommended at the local Marc's pharmacy. Bought a BIG tube for about $1.00 which I've barely put a dent in since the end of June. After the first few weeks, the times I've needed to use it have lessened....Must say w/the humidifier, the occasional saline spray or generic gel, my nose is much happier than it would have been this time last year!
