This is amazing for colds hay fever etc. My little boy had an awful cold I kept using this through out the days and by the fourth day his cold had gone. It’s easy to use, easy to clean and also comes with a plastic storage box and a second filter.
We’ve used this many times and it always helps to clear baby’s airways in an easy and fast manner. Only issue is that it’s a little hard to clean and if the filters are not 100% dry it will not suck up as much.
I totally forgot we had this until my little one woke up full of snot this morning (in the middle of June!).
Personally I think it’s an essential piece of kit. We originally had one of those hand pump ones but it just really didn’t work, this on the other hand is brilliant! Simply put one end up the babies nose (the end where the filter is) and the other end in your mouth (don’t worry the snot doesn’t go anywhere near your mouth).When you suck out the snot you can see how much you’ve cleared out and instantly baby can breath so much better!
You do need to make sure you clean it after each use though because if not it can get clogged by the drying snot and it won’t work anymore.
It comes with a spare filter which is good because they are so tiny it would be easy to lose one. My only negative about this is that the filters are abit fiddly to put back in, you also need to make sure they are completely dry otherwise it won’t work.
Oh it also comes in a nice little storage case too so you can take it out and about whilst keeping it clean
I love this and wish I had it from birth! Its by far the best nose sucker for a baby, without being crazy expensive! It truely gets out all the blockage, allow baby a clear nose to breathe easier! Cleaning it is super simple, and it comes with two filters which is handy. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and its still going strong! I buy this product for every pregnant friend, as its that good" Much better than a bulb one.
This is definitely a baby essential! I went almost a year without this and wondered why I’d never got it sooner.
It is really effective at removing snot from your baby or toddlers nose before they are able to blow it themselves, and helps them breathe much easier and is way more convenient than sitting in a room with the shower on etc! It comes in it’s own plastic case to keep it all together, the tube and two filters.
You basically pop the end with the small snot chamber on up the baby’s nostril and suck up the other end on the mouthpiece. It’s painless but I found both my babies had a dislike for it, but that’s to be expected really.
The filter which goes inside the chamber stops anything going up into your mouth, but I’ll admit I was nervous the first time I used it! It’s easy to clean to. All you do is twist the chamber open and pop out the small disc filter and wash it all out with hot soapy water. This does need doing after each use though because obviously the snot will harden and block it up.
Definitely recommend! And if you’re worried about getting snot in your mouth, do not worry!! It really doesn’t happen.
Used this when my son was poorly and it helped so much! Do it just before bedtime it Helped him sleep so much better because he could breath comfortably without is nose being so blocked.
I recommend this to everyone with a young baby that has a cold
Fab nasal aspirator to get rid of mucus from babies nose , filter ensures doesn’t go in your mouth , small so perfect size for baby nostrils . Comes in case so can take out and about . Only downside quite hard to clean
This works so well, clears babies nose quickly and easily but she screams blue murder when she sees this come out. She hates me using it in her. But the second I'm finished she is happy and full of smiles because she can breath and feels better again. So worth it.
This item is a god send!! A friend told me about it and I wouldn’t be without it! Still use it on my two year old.
So easy to use. Easy to clean. Easy to store. Easy to transport.
Before my 2nd child was born I saw this in a shop and was disgusted at the thought of using it. However, fast forward several months and my baby was screaming her head off through the night, struggling to breathe through her nose and was just so miserable with her first cold. I tried plug-ins, steam, baby vapour rub and she was still bunged up. In desperation I asked my partner to pick up one of these, and when he brought it home I used some saline spray to loosen everything up in her little nose, then put the valve slightly into one of her nostrils, and sucked on the mouthpiece. So much snot came out, she cried but when she calmed down she didn't sound anywhere near as snuffly. It isn't the most pleasant experience, and cleaning makes me gag, but it gave my baby enough relief that she could finally get some sleep. It isn't possible to suck too hard and hurt baby, if baby is very congested it will get clogged and you'll have to stop to empty it but all in all it is a good little piece of equipment to have.
I bought this before we went on holiday in case lo came down with a cold. We actually used it before going on holiday and it was great. I was a bit reluctant at first and thought the idea of it was quite gross. But one I used it, it was fantastic and sucked all the mucus out of my los nose. She had instant relief. Best couple of pounds I’ve ever spent, and such a clever and simple invention. Definitely a must have.
I love this it helps so much when my little girl is ill and finding it hard to breathe it works so well and brings loads off stuff out so she can breathe I would definitely recommend it to all new parents it’s definitely a must have to all mums.
Such a simple little gadget to use and clean. Honestly it's one of the must have items when you are a new mum. It has been a life saver for my little boy and me!
I have used this for my second baby when he caught a cold at 3weeks old. It is so easy to use and baby gets so comfortable after getting rid of the boogies. Very handy.
I enedee up trying multiple aspirators and this is the best one I’ve found. It fits in small noses unlike some of the others. The price is reasonable. Once you’re over the idea of sucking to clear the nose you wont be disappointed.
My boy had really bad snot all the time as a new born. Fortunatly i found this at my local boots. It was a life saver. My baby could breath alot better altogether. He doesnt like his nose being messed with so it can be difficult to actually use it. However it is a very easy to use just depends on the baby. I still use it now alongside nosel spray
We bought this aspirator a fews days ago when our 5 month old was suffering with a cold and a LOT of sticky snot. I didn't want her swallowing it or getting it on her chest and as she's too young to blow her nose this seemed like the perfect solution. I was right! From the very first use it sucked out so much thick snot I was equal parts disgusted and impressed!
It's easy to put together, comes with a spare filter piece to stop you sucking the mucousy bogies down the tube to your mouth and you can adjust the level of suction yourself by sucking harder or gentler. I did find that I needed to suck on the other end of the pipe fairly hard to get the best results and this wasn't the easiest (I had to keep gasping for air between sucks, but maybe that's because by this point I'd also got the dreaded cold and couldn't breathe through my own nose!). If I hadn't already caught her cold then having to suck on the other end of the tube would most likely result in more than a little germ sharing too.
I would have thought the noise and the suction would have startled my little lady but in fact she giggled and smiled as I did it each time, probably just thrilled not to be having her little nose wiped repeatedly any more which she hated!
It really did help to clear her nose to make breathing and sleeping more comfortable for her. Results were instant and as it's so easy to clean it was ready for use again really quickly for her. The smaller nozzle size compared to some of the alternative brands was much better for getting good access too. It states that it's suitable from birth which I'm sure it would be.
I'd recommend using in the morning after overnight build up and before bed to clear airways at least, although it says on the instructions not to use it too much as it could irritate the lining of their delicate nose. It's helped us get our smiley girl back rather than the grumpy/cranky baby full of snot that had replaced her so I'd definitely recommend having one of these in the house ready to combat colds and congestion whenever needed!
My son recently had suspected bronchiolitis. There's nothing a Dr can give you except saline spray and tell you to use a nasal aspirator. For a week I was using a nasal bulb and trying to suck the mucus out with my hand but as soon as I purchased this and started using it I was getting out a lot more.
Weirdly enough, if you can get your baby quite sleepy at the time of doing it, they actually enjoy the sensation.
I used this alongside Sterimar nasal spray.
Really helps to clear child's nose when they cannot blow their nose
Weaknesses:
The little silicone filter is so tiny you have to be careful not to lose it

Fantastic product. Helped my daughter breath countless times. It's easy to use as long as your child let's you. Easy to clean as it can be taken apart, just keep an eye on the little silicone filter. It's not the most pleasant idea but you don't get anything in your mouth and it is 100% worth buying for when your little one is a bit bunged up.
Easy to use, perfect for clearing out baby’s nose and helping them to breathe again my son got a cold when he was month and half old so this was a absolute god sent since there isn’t many products to help a 2/3 month under baby out with colds ect...
Easy to use, great for kids who are bunged up and makes life alot easier
Weaknesses:
Could maybe bring them out in different colours

This is an absolute life saver, especially when children are poorly and have bunged up noses. I've used this on both my children and it helped alot when they were too young to blow their own nose.
Can be abit of a pain to clean, scares baby from sound.

This was a great little gadget used in the early stages. You simply put one end of the nasal adapter up the baby’s nostril and the other bit goes in your mouth and you simply “suck” the snot out - although it does go into a filter and doesn’t go no where near your mouth! :) works great but the sound of a vacuum like suction used to scare my little one and would cry. Nether the less, it does a great job.
Thus has been a life saver for my baby. He is rather snuffly at the best of times so we use this often. It is a bit hard to clean down the pipe and I personally find it sucks better without the filter on but there is a risk of inhaling snotters! Really clears my babys nose but he doesn't really enjoy it being used which I can't blame him for!
This is a must have for tiny noses getting sniffly, babies have a hard time bringing up mucus by themselves and need help from us. I originally bought a bulb syringe but found it very difficult to use and couldn't get the hang of it, I was so happy when my husband found this! It allows you to control the suction and so you can keep sucking until you get up the mucus up. Don't suck too hard though, it can hurt or damage their little sinuses!
