What I Can Tell You: They both do the same thing, it is simply a matter of choice. I used a Neti pot for the first time last year during a cold. I had seen Dr. Oz do it on the Oprah show and knew that it would take some getting used to.

The box recommends doing it in the shower which made more sense since the last time I did it standing at the sink, it dripped down my face and into my ear.

So, standing in the shower, with my squeeze bottle and Neti Pot which were filled prior to the shower with luke warm water, I picked up the Squeeze Bottle first. Tiling my head, I squeezed it into my nose. Umm..OK, too hard. It shot into my nasal passage along with a lot of air. After some sneezes I tried again. Make sure you have it tipped so the water is toward the tip and your head is tilted. It really isn't rocket science and if I were thinking about the review probably wouldn't have had any problem if I were using it for the first time.

Next, I grabbed the Neti Pot. I got this, the little One-Touch FlowControl Valve is easy and controls a lot of the water spill.

It seems like they both will do exactly what you need, it is simply a matter of preference. Personally, I think I like the squeeze bottle better. I felt like the process was quicker but maybe that means I rushed it. Who knows.

The box states you should not use if you have an ear infection, blocked ears, or if your nasal passage is completely blocked.

This is also safe for 4 years old and up, however as much as my kids thought it was fun to watch. No one wanted to try it.

Just as hand-washing is an important everyday routine, Ear Nose and Throat specialists (ENT) recommend a sinus wash for every day. In fact, 4 out of 5 ENTs have provided sinus wash samples to clients and 1 in 4 personally use it.  So why not grab a SinuSense for each member of your family this year. Who knows, maybe this will be the year no one catches a single cold.
