This product is fantastic! It is not super duper strong, but from all that I’ve learned that is a very good thing. I worked in a Children’s Hospital and had to have extensive training for the really strong, super duper suction there. I found this aspirator to be wonderful as long as it was used with sufficient saline. If my daughter’s nose was too dry, nothing would happen. We have used this on many a night during her nasty colds. I cannot imagine how we would have survived without it. I’ve tried the bulb aspirators and they just don’t cut it. Plus, after a few tries, my daughter wouldn’t let me near her with the bulb. I recommended it to all of my friends who are having babies. One tidbit of advice, though…don’t lose the rubber ring in the head! They don’t sell replacements and once it’s gone, it doesn’t suck at all. Just take extra care when washing because it falls out easily.

Anything to relieve a baby’s plugged nose is a wonderful thing. Parents are often hesitant to use nose sucking devices and opt for tissue. Once you have a successful try with the device and feel comfortable you will never go back to simply wiping the nose. Its a little scary to get used to but it really helps clear out their blockage.

I like all manual aspirators better than bulbs, I tried this and Nosefrida too – you need a whole artillery when your kids are snotting all over you – and I find Nosefrida to be one step better. You could actually put a tissue in that too and not have to worry with filters.. my friend is a pediatrician and she never even uses the filter, I also like that Nosefrida has been around for a long time, I have heard of it for years…but all in all, manual aspirators are so much better than bulbs or silly electric ones.

Wow! I wouldn’t have guessed that a post featuring nasal aspirators (or “snot suckers” according to James) would have inspired such detailed comments. It just goes to show, anything that makes a child feel better or parents’ lives easier will be a hit!

Dear Dr MOZ; You may take a look at Cleanoz Nasal Aspirator. This amazing nasal aspirator is 100% hygienic as it uses disposable reservoir tips. In Europe, they also use Cleanoz in Hospitals for babies in incubators. My husband bought a CLEANOZ at babies”R”us: This snot sucker is quick, very easy to use and very hygienic. There is no cleanup necessary afterwards and no cross contamination risk! This aspirator is a must. I use it with Cleanoz Saline Preservative Free in single use applicators.

I had a similar experience to Erika. We had actually been using a similar swedish device – nose frida for a couple of years, It uses the same principle and we absolutely love it! But we got tired of having to buy the little foam rubber ‘filters’ all the time and besides, I wondered just how effective the large pore size of foam rubber is anyway. So we bought the BabyComfyNose before thanksgiving and find that it has few advantages over the swedish one. First of all, it’s easier to hold because it’s not a long tube, its easier to clean because it comes apart and most importantly, it uses regular kleenex tissue which is a great filter (large surface area, small pore size – my background is in biomedical). In short, two thumbs up for the babycomfynose, which we affectionately call the snot sucker. By the way – I contributed a testimonial and the nice people at BCN gave me a 15% discount code to share with my friends – 8463 – I don’t think they’ll mind.

Amazing coincidence! We just purchased a babycomfynose online a couple of days ago when Zachary (2) had a nasty, snotty cold (our pediatrician suggested it). I had no hesitation going right in there and sucking out the snot – and OMG what satisfaction! In about a second, a tablespoon of snot (that’s a lot) filled up the nozzle and the bottom of the unit. I didn’t even use the tissue like they suggest and the snot got nowhere near the suction tube – quite hygienic actually. Zach is still under the weather, but at least not completely miserable and plugged up. good-bye useless bulb aspirator.
