Super easy to use.Great for use if you have a sinus infection.I usually love Amazon reviews and find them very useful in helping me decide whether a product is worth buying, but I bought this product largely blind because so many of the reviews here and on other neti products were not useful. By that I mean most of them talk about how great neti is for you. Can you imagine going to buy a saucepan and seeing all the reviews talking about how awesome it is that we can cook stuff and therefore this saucepan must be great and must get 5 stars, or seeing reviews for vacuum cleaners where every product gets 5 starts because vacuuming is the bomb! The result was I found far too many neti pots, salts, etc that were all rated too high for the wrong reasons. What is more useful if if reviewers only review the product and not the lifestyle behind it, especially since most of us coming to buy them already know the benefits of neti.So... get to the point, right? It's a good travel neti pot. I took mine on a road trip that included camping, an inn, a motel and a B&B. It got carted around a lot and took no damage and worked just as well as any other neti pot I've used. The point was comfortable for the nostril and it's easy to handle. The lack of a lid is both a plus and a minus. I did accidentally spill water all over the place once, but I say I just need to be more careful because the flip sides is lids get lost, especially when travelling.It's not rocket science. My ENT told me that nasal rinses were good, but also that he thought all nasal rinses are pretty much the same thing. Of course he told me this after I'd already spent $80 on an electric nasal rinse machine. :PIt's a bit pricey for a hunk of plastic, but so is everything seen as trendy, but it was exactly what I wanted from a travel neti pot.Lightweight, doesn't break, doesn't muck up like the ceramic ones. I use a netti pot half a dozen or more times a day every day and have for years. I wanted a plastic one without the fiddly lid. This one works well. Expensive for a bit of molded plastic. But it works well and should last for years. I've had this one for over a year now. I recommend it.I don’t know what the heck they mean by warmth and thickness on a “ Neti Pot” but it is a made out of plastic and comes witha “ few” packets of salt to put in it with my filtered water. Then I put it up to one of my nostrils and it flows through the other one. So this procedure opens up my sinuses and this product does that.I use one everyday. The nedi pot is really helpful with fighting germs . I am happy that I found one for traveling that is dishwasher proof.i dreaded using this thing; waited months to muster up courage... now, sorry i waited. while it is not a pleasant thing to do, it is a VERY helpful thing for my sensitive sinuses. i have painful trouble with dry sinuses any time of year due to dry weather or air conditioning/heat, and allergies to boot, and i do get a lot of relief with this. pretty sure if i have any problems now it's because i skipped a day of using it. sometimes feels like when you jump in the pool and get water up your nose (same uncomfortable pressure) and more painful on super clogged days, but if i don't skip a day it seems to be a golden tool. i did not want 2 laying around so i returned porcelain one (unopened for months)~ hate plastic but i needed it for travel on a 6 week trip, which only landed me with problems if i skipped a day or 2, and that says A LOT with camping, hotels and motorcycling cross country~ i begrudgingly say i love it!Very practical neti pot that I use for travel. Sturdy and works well. Since I use a neti pot on a daily basis to help with allergies and such, I like having one that is light-weight and compact for travel.
