I don't know if others have seen this or not, but it's a first for me, as I almost never look in the OTC med section of any store. But I've been having some serious sinus issues this past week and finally decided it just wasn't going away on its own like it normally does. So I went to Walgreens to see about buying a nasal mister that I could pry the cap off of and fill with CS
To my surprise I found the BEST sprayer. It's called SinuCleanse Kids Mist. It was developed by a children's doctor. It is extremely sturdy, the fill part being solid clear blue plastic. It has a pump on top with a long tube mister attached. The tube snugs down into a small clamp like device to keep it from moving around if you are carrying it in your purse. You unclamp the tube so that you can unscrew the top to refill it. The tube can actually be bent upwards at the end to angle it better into the nose. It came with 3 containers of 'non-drug' liquid which is, of course, saline solution. The main part of the container holds 100 measured sprays, so enough to last a long time before needing to refill. It can be thrown into a purse or pocket and it won't leak. The spray comes out as a very fine mist. The spray end is small so that it will fit into a child's nostril, but that just makes it easy to put inside an adult nose without feeling like it's filled your whole nose like you do with an adult spray bottle. I've filled it with CS and sprayed my nose and my throat and inhaled into my lungs. Very nice, very handy. It cost $10 and I think it will prove to be worth it, as it's going to last a very long time before a part wears out. The Afrin I was looking at, walgreens own brand, was $5 for a bottle that I would have had to force the top off of, and it's large to carry around, plus (because I did buy it too) it does not mist anywhere near as good as the Child's Mist.
