I agree that keeping our cilia “fluffy” is a good idea! And like Sue, I sometimes use Arm & Hammer Simply Saline. Dr. Falkinham tested it years ago and gave it his seal of approval as far as NTM is concerned. But, when I’m home, I often use the Squeezie by NeilMed. I like the Squeezie because unlike their bottle, you can get in there with a little brush and clean it out and I have even popped it into my baby bottle sterilizer without any issues. I also prefer it to a traditional neti pot because you don’t need to tilt your head from side to side which can make me dizzy. I purchased mine on Amazon.

Best,
Linda Esposito

Funny, Linda, that's what I settled on as well! I think I tried everything, and found it easiest to use and maintain. As with everything else related to Bronchiectasis, making things simpler to use/clean means we are more likely to keep up the routine.

NeilMed suggests replaces the NeilMed Sinus Rinse bottle every 3 months. @becleartoday Do you happen to know if the recommendations are the same for the Squeezie?

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
