Mine lo...I have had a neti pot for quite some time. Mine looks more like a genie bottle thing and is white ceramic. I also have a little tub of neti pot salt to just mix in. You can find them at Whole Foods and some drugstores. <BR/><BR/>They are awesome, if I could just remember to do it daily!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see someone else using one! Most people I have recommended it to just sort of wrinkle their nose at the idea!

It is really gross when he uses it, gags, chokes and carries on. But, it seems to be helping. Good luck with yours.<BR/>CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16683310.post-15053288782112635322008-02-21T12:55:00.000-05:002008-02-21T12:55:00.000-05:00I'm sorry - I don't know which sounds worse - lab...I'm sorry - I don't know which sounds worse - labor or Netu Pot!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16683310.post-6928293282304723142008-02-21T11:53:00.000-05:002008-02-21T11:53:00.000-05:00It's not as bad as you'd think.

It actually feels really good when the water's nice and warm and with the saline, it doesn't burn at all. <BR/><BR/>It feels a little funny as it starts to enter the sinus cavity and out the other side, but then it gets easier.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16683310.post-38786435096666563672008-02-21T11:47:00.000-05:002008-02-21T11:47:00.000-05:00Flash's teacher was telling me about this.

I'm SO glad you found some relief! <BR/><BR/>I used to put hot water in the sink and soak my sinuses with hot wash rags before bed. Also, a steaming shower before betime seemed to help. Lots of energy exerted for that when preggie, though! <BR/><BR/>Love you, sis! Hang in there! (Not that you have any choice.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
