Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I moved into a new house over a year ago and suffered months of long and sleepless nights due to congested, stuff up noses that made it impossible to breath through my nose and made it hard for me to go to sleep because of how prominent the blockage felt (A doctor friend of mine guessed that I have a deviated septum as well as Chronic congestion/sinusitis).
I tried manual solutions (breathe right strips); electric mechanical solutions (humidifer and air purifier) and chemical solutions (pills)--purchasing many of these on Amazon. Though I felt they alleviated the situation some, it was not sufficient to reduce the discomfort and free up nose breathing so I could get to sleep easy.
One night I literally went through almost two boxes of tissues, blowing my nose constantly only to go to bed, fill stuffed and uncomfortable again, and have to get up and blow my nose again, time after time. The next day I searched for a better on the spot solution than the nasal spray I had been using and came across this spray and one Xlear saline nasal spray.
I find both are effective at immediately ceasing congestion and opening up my nose passage ways so I can breath through them and not have to deal with the discomfort of blockage. Between this and Xclear, I prefer the Simply Saline first. With both, it's easy to "overdose" with them as when my nose is blocked, I can't initially feel the mist/spray in my nose (and thus, would keep squeezing or spraying more than I should).
With the simply saline, I did not feel any effects from accidentally spraying continually. But from the Xclear I did, my one nostril felt really dry (that it needed moisture) and irritated. It went away in 15 minutes and I could breathe through the passage but the irritation was quite noticeable.
For me, what works is to press down or squeeze and count to nor more than "a thousand two" (starting with a thousand one) and then pull out, releasing my squeeze or pressing down as I pull out.
I keep the Simply Saline in the house and the Xclear in my car. I would have no trouble using either. But my habit was become to use Simply Saline because of the overdose experience and that, once the feelings do kick in, the Simply Saline spray feels soothing while the Xclear seems to provide no feeling (unless you overdose). Just your nose will suddenly be clear/mostly clear and breathable.
I will be putting up an article of the different products I tried in fighting my sinus/nasal congestion, blockage.
