Your child's nose is a hotbed of activity, meaning there's always something coming out of it. So, having a system to efficiently and effectively maintain the nose drain is super important. And this tool right here is an absolute must to having your SNOT management toolkit. So let's talk about what it is and what it does. Hey, this is John with FatherCraft. First, thanks for taking the time to join us as we work away through this admittedly gross endeavor. Before we get too far into it, please go ahead and subscribe to this channel if you like what we're doing and want to see more of these videos. And while you're doing that, go ahead and hit that like button if you like this video. Like it if you don't like it. Like it just to like things because you like to. So today we're looking at why the Oogie Bear should be added to your SNOT cleaning toolkit and how it can maximize the efficiency at which you clean the SNOT from your child's nose. So for my experience, it's excellent at attacking and capturing those hard dried out bugs that nose wipes and even the nose free to struggle to wrangle. It has a tip at both ends that are designed for use against different types of SNOT. So here's the loop end. The loop end is designed for the stickier, runnier type nasal discharge. It cleans to that SNOT and basically just pulls as much of it out as it can. The panel end is designed for those crusty, hard dried out bugs that have set in overnight and created some type of weird crust over your child's nose. This thing attacks those types of bogers wonderfully. So the Bear Buss, I called them at either end, are there to provide some sort of stopgap measure to make sure that you're not sticking this thing too far up your child's nose, which is great. It's also got this nice rubbery grip on the handle to keep your fingers from slipping when you are attacking said hard, crusted, set in, congealed, crust like gross bogers. So I've been using this thing for a couple of weeks now and without a doubt it's one of the first things I actually reached for when attacking SNOT. Those of us intimately familiar with nasal discharge understands that not all SNOT is manufactured equally. On one end of the spectrum you've got the dried hard books. Again, I've been bringing those up quite a bit. On the other end you've got the constant SNOT drip that seems to require 15 tissues at least to effectively and efficiently get that nose of your kid's clean. And then there's everything in between. So it's important to have tools that can handle any one of those scenarios. And while the Oogie Bear is really good for those, again medium to hard SNOT, it's not a one size fits all tool. Okay, let's take a break for a second because at this point you're probably fairly grossed out. And I get it, but SNOT management is a skill that all parents must embrace with open arms. Otherwise your child can struggle to breathe without clear nasal passages. Also, your child basically becomes a walking biological weapon, potentially contaminating anything and everything in its path. All that said, we have developed what we consider to be the most effective regimen in maintaining your child's nose to make him and everyone around him happy and it's not free. So the first step in this regimen is SNOT wipes. Either the boogie wipes that we've talked about before in other videos or these free the wipes. These guys are infused with chamomile and aloe plus vitamin E. Also, it releases these eucalyptus vapors to refresh those sore snippers, according to the package. So step two in this regimen is the nose-reader SNOT sucker toolkit. You'll first use this saline spray, spray it up each nostril of your child. Let it sit there and do its thing for a minute to soften up everything that's in there. While that's happening, go ahead and take the time to chat with your baby and let them know how gross it is to have to constantly clean boogers from their nose. So after it's done its thing and loosened everything up, you take the nose-reader, put it up your child's nose, they'll suck up the snot and you'll be done with it. Now step three that you're going to add to this regimen is the oge bearer. So after using it for several weeks I've discovered that this thing can be used anywhere in this lineup, either lead off or batting clean up if you will. If you're really good, you'll have one on each hand and do both nostrils at once. I'm just kidding, I don't recommend that. Who's going to hold your baby? And that's it. You've now got four tools at your disposal in which to clean your child's nose. Use one, use all four, but we highly recommend that you have these things available for use. At a moment's notice, especially when you see that snot start to drip. Before you go, there is a subscribe button as we mentioned before right here, somewhere down below, go ahead and click it.
