Neti Pot

Posted by harrynsc @harrynsc, Aug 20, 2023

Has there been any studies on using a Neti Pot in combination
with everything else to fight MAC? I'm thinking if I can keep
my upper airways clear, the cilia have an easier time getting
the MAC out of my lungs?

Thank you, Linda. I want to get a squeezie, but have not been able to find one locally. When I look on the web, I am confused by the fact that some suppliers use the label "Squip" squeezie, although they show the NeilMed box. Is this a "knock-off" of the real Squeezie? I see that I can order it directly from NeilMed. Any advice? Donna

Thanks, Sue. I went to the closest Walgreens yesterday and even asked the pharmacist, but no luck. I will probably have to order one from NeilMed. Donna

I ordered what @becleartoday ordered from Amazon, Squip Näsakleen Squeezie, 7.8 Ounce . Her link takes you to it.

While we're on the topic of safety with nasal saline products, I want to report a recent experience I had with other-than-NeilMed saline packets. I purchased some equate brand saline packets in Walmart. While the rinsing felt the same as NeilMed packets, the salt in the equate packets was clumpy and difficult to empty into the squeeze bottle, almost as if they'd gotten wet or damp. Equate brand was made in India, not sure where NeilMed ones are made but from now I'm sticking with NM for saline packets as quality seems much better than equate.

I also prefer the NeilMed packets. I tried CVS brand, but the packets were bigger and I’d have to shake the saline to one side before opening or it would spill as I tried to put it in bottle. It was a small issue and I made it work after first few spills, but the savings didn’t seem worth the aggravation.

I ordered the Squip Nasakleen Squeezee from Amazon because it showed the NeilMed box and also said, “Visit the NeilMed store.” It is the NeilMed box and instructions look similar to their bottle.

I’ve only had it a couple weeks and I much prefer their regular bottle, but am trying tbis because it’s easier to sterilize.

Thanks! I ordered one last night from the NeilMed store and even got 20% off because it was my first order. I got an email today that it has already been shipped. I haven't used their regular bottle. What did you like better about it?
