My neti pot is going to be gathering dust
Generally speaking, I've been happy with my neti pot, but it's not something I can take with me when we travel or camp.  This looked as if it might be a good alternative, and I  believe that it is.  Being plastic, it's not going to break.  I didn't realize that I was going to love that I can close the nasal applicator tip and shake it up to make sure I dissolve the salt, but I do.  Having used a neti pot for a very long time, I was also surprised by how much easier and more comfortable it is not to have to lean way over in order to have the solution flow through my nasal passages – I'd just gotten used to doing it.  Being able to squeeze the bottle also allows for changing how fast it flows in.  Being able to see how much is still in the bottle, so that I can stop halfway, and switch sides is also extremely helpful!  The only thing it doesn't have, which I wish it did, is a stand to hold the bottle upside down when drying it.<br /><br />The salt packets are hard to empty, as the slit for opening them is badly placed:  lengthwise, and in the middle, so they just tear down the middle, leaving a pocket on both sides which is hard to empty by pouring (as a nurse, I'm not going to stick it in the bottle and shake it, for sanitary reasons).<br /><br />This is definitely a keeper!<br /><br />Thank you very much for reading my review.
