Super necessary article

Se los recomiendo 💯 este producto me ha servido demasiado con mis hijos es buenísimos

With my first child almost 3 years ago, I purchased FridaBaby Nasal Aspirator with 20 Extra Hygiene Filters. It worked a lot better than the bulb aspirators. With the bulb aspirators, you have to repeatedly use it to fully get whatever is up in the nose out. Add that to a crying baby (who hates it) and you have a stressful situation while trying to pin the baby down AND suck each nostril out several times. So when I used the Nosefrieda, just a couple of sucking actions fully got out whatever was in the nose. As a parent, I was pleased.However, with our second child, I noticed a lot of these oral suction aspirators are now on the market. Not wanting to contaminate two babies with the same aspirator, I thought about getting another Nosefrieda for my 2nd child. But my primary complaint with the Nosefrieda (my wife agrees) is that it's hard to suck with the Nosefrieda sometimes. Especially when the mucus is thick or the nasal cavity is really congested.With that sole complaint, I decided to go with the NeilMed Naspira. I can say without a doubt that this device is 5000x better than the Nosefrieda. My reasons are:1. The oral sucking is MUCH EASIER with the Naspira. Not sure if it's because the tube is larger, but the suction isn't as hard with the Naspira. Easier suction means getting the mucus out without it being a laborious process.2. Cleaning is EASIER. The Naspira disassembles in multiple parts. Typically all I have to wash is the bulb and tip and because it all comes apart, it makes it effortless. With the Nosefrieda, the chamber was 1 piece. Hard to clean because the mucus would stick to the wall of the Nosefrieda.3. Doubles as a traditional bulb aspirator! Pull the tube out and put the cap on, you have a regular aspirator (in case you have to leave it with someone else, aka a babysitter).4. Filters are much "better" and easily replaceable.

This thing is waaaaaaay better than the nose Frieda!My baby got my seasonal allergies and all you can really do is squirt saline up their nose to loosen stuff and then suck it all out.The Frieda tube is rigid and babies hate having their noses sucked at, so when he would thrash his head around to avoid it, it seemed like the tube would hurt the inside of his nose. My son would cry and really hate it.This is firm but still flexible and while my son doesn’t enjoy this one it doesn’t seem like it’s hurting his nose which makes him thrash around less and makes everything easier on everyone. It can also convert from a tube you suck in to a bulb you squeeze, it’s freaking ingenious.I’m fine sucking on it to get those boogers but grandma who is grossed out by it can pull out the tube and plug it and use it as a bulb.It all comes apart for cleaning, though I will say it’s hard to get inside the large bulb part. It’s too small for a bottle brush but too big for a straw brush to effectively get at the sides. I kind of try with a small brush but mostly just put some hot soapy water in there, cover both openings with my hands and shake it really hard, give it a good rinse and the put it in the sterilizer. I want to buy another one so that if one is in the wash I will have one handy.

Good

I LOVE this product. I've used the bulb suctions, Nose Frida, electric suction, and this is the best out of all of them for my toddler, in my opinion.I didn't have to use as much suction force for it to work, which is great because I'm over 9 months pregnant and my breath control isn't what it usually is lol. With the nose Frida, I would have to use so much force that I would begin to feel light-headed. I love that there's a one-way valve that keeps you from blowing air back into baby's nose, and it just feels like a sturdy, quality product unlike the Nose Frida, which feels pretty cheap compared to it. It's also easy to clean, and you don't have to change the filter every single time you use it AS LONG AS it hasn't come into contact with any mucus.Funny enough, I only bought this product because my daughter was sick last night and her nose was so runny, but I couldn't find our Nose Frida at homr, so I came to Amazon to order the Nose Frida, but Amazon only had one-day shipping. I saw the Naspira had same-day shipping, so I ordered it just as a temporary replacement and planned to order the nose Frida for delivery the next day because I really thought the Nose Frida was the best, especially since the Naspira costs less, so I expected it wouldn't work as good. Imagine my surprise when it actually worked BETTER! And my daughter could breathe finally and had a great night's sleep. I ended up cancelling my Nose Frida order and ordered the extra filters for the Naspira.Long story short, I high recommend this product over any other.
