Step 3: Standing in front of a sink, bend forward to your comfort level and tilt your head down. Keeping your mouth open, without holding your breath, place the tip snugly against your right nasal passage or nostril. Press the blue power button until the solution starts draining from your left nasal passage. Depending on the head position, residual solution may drain from your mouth. We suggest to spit it out, however, there is no harm, if accidentally swallowed. For a proper rinse, keep pressing the power button until at least 1/4 to 1/2 (60 mL to 120 mL or 2 to 4 fl oz) of the solution is used for one nostril. Stop pressing the power button if you feel any discomfort, pain or pressure during the irrigation.

Not Very Portable: You must be near a power source because this one needs to be plugged into an outlet for power. NeilMed Sinugator relieves any symptoms of nasal allergies and nasal dryness. It is effective for treating sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic asthma, post nasal drip, nasal stuffiness, sinus pressure, and symptoms of cold and flu.One note, I forgot to add the sachet for the second process and oh my goodness it was uncomfortable and sore, so remember to add it! Uses Gentle Suction: This proprietary unit uses gentle suction rather than force to wash your sinuses, which makes it easier and more effective. Soothing, No Burning or Stinging, Large Volume & Low Pressure™ System for Saline Nasal Irrigation, Moisturization & Daily Nasal Hygiene Two options for irrigation wands: The stream wand is for a full power rinse, and the mist wand is nice for a gentler rinse (basically to moisten your nasal passages.) For your safety, do not use tap or faucet water for dissolving the mixture unless it has been previously boiled for five minutes or more as boiling sterilizes the water.

The benefits seem to be the pulsing of the water as it is pumped out of the nozzle, which fits and seals well to my nostril, as it then gets forced up into your nasal cavities with a pulsing sensation. In fact this pulsing is for more intense than it is with my other machine. The vibrations from the hand held device is also noted due to the pulsing, not unpleasantly though. Also with the Sinugator only holding 250ml it means that you have to do one side ( I pre-mix a 500ml solution ready in a glass measuring jug) and then whilst that side is dripping open it up and pour another 250ml in the device to do the other side. Only use previously boiled water that has thoroughly cooled. Do not use tap water unless sterilized. Wash hands and fill the clear blue reservoir with 240 ml (8fl oz) of distilled, micro filtered (0.2 micron), commercially bottled or previously boiled & cooled down water at lukewarm or body temperature. Do not use tap or faucet water for dissolving the mixture unless it has been previously boiled and cooled down.Navage Nose Cleaner: A Gentle Nasal Irrigation System that Cleans your Sinuses in Under 15 Seconds Flat (My Review)

I no longer need to use any regular prescribed treatments, not very effective, and I’m doing much better for using regular daily nasal irrigation. I would be wary about doing this too often, when I’m in a bad way I might increase this up to three times in a day at most, as over use might lead to producing excessive mucous. Also I only use povidone iodine if I am experiencing an infection, again good bacteria up the nostrils is needed to keep things in balance.Neilmed Sinugator Cordless Pulsating Nasal Wash NeilMed is a patented, Doctor recommended system providing natural relief from the symptoms of allergy and various nasal conditions. Medical research into positive nasal irrigation solutions has shown to provide the most relief to users suffering from allergies and sinus conditions. Pulsating Nasal Wash is an easy to use saline application administered with positive and pulsating pressure to clean and irrigate the nasal passages thoroughly. Low Water Pressure: Perhaps the biggest complaint is the weak motor not producing enough water pressure to do much good. One Nostril at a Time: Unlike the Navage, you have to rinse each nostril separately because it doesn’t push the water all the way through your sinuses. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.

Repeating the process for each nostril is fine except, as mentioned, this machine has to be kept upright to ensure that all the contents goes where it is needed. The build quality of the Sinugator seemed adequate for the job. It is a little heavy and cumbersome, but that is because I'm used to holding just the "wand" (tip) of the Sinupulse machine I also have. Being an "all in one" type device it is also a little restrictive in how you can position your head and lean as the machine itself has t o remain upright to ensure that all the liquid is used when it is running. Tipping it sideways will leave liquid still in the blue water container. Always use distilled or micro-filtered (through 0.2 micron) or commercially bottled or previously boiled and cooled down water at lukewarm or body temperature. Low Quality: Some customers complain that it feels like it’s not made well, such as with cheap plastic; and that it only lasted for a short period of time. (I must note that the manufacture does provide a 5 year unconditional warranty.)It can also be used to control nasal dryness and irritation caused by house dust, fumes, grass, pollen, smoke, or animal dander. Benefits for you Cleaning Direction: Clean the Sinugator® by running plain water and dry with a clean lint free towel and then air dry the unit by keeping it open to the air. The nasal irrigator tip, blue reservoir and white soft tube can be disinfected by placing in the home microwave for 60 seconds. (Read additional details in enclosed brochure.) Clean the entire unit with a few drops of dishwashing liquid and water every three days to keep the unit clean. Please make sure to run enough water during each wash so no soap is left behind. I am very used to the sensation and method to use these types of devices and this one is very similar to what I have used.
