I'm currently suffering through post op sinus surgery recovery hell. Rinsing is the only thing that brings me joy right now. Started with the bottle, then few days in, I wound up going electric because I was curious if I'd like it better, and for long term use. At the end of the day, they both get the job done but tbh I prefer using the bottle as instructed safely.. My surgeon sent me a video on how to use the bottle properly, and I'm following it to the T, because 1. I'm not trying to pressure wash my sinuses, and 2., post op is no joke; I want to heal quickly. I alternated the last couple days between the two, and the bottle just makes my sinus cavities feel like they fill up more, and it feels nicer, and I like that. Both used as directed are effective, so it's just personal preference. Thanks for the video. I found it entertaining because I'm comparing the two myself, non scientifically of course. I appreciate the unintended humor and made me smile, during a time where I'm counting the hours until these stints and packing get pulled out of my face. Happy Sinuses
Yeah... So about this. I've used both. Obviously the sinugator is more expensive due to the constant low-pressure electronic pulse. I've completely blown my skull and ears out using too much power on the bottle while sick/dizzy from the sinusitis. To each their own, but the sinugator has less opportunity for injury.
It don't matter how high it go in the air....you don't want alot of pressure squirting in your nose.. because it's put alot of pressure on your ear drums...
Well one is a constant pressure up into the Nasal Cavity (Sinugator) and one is variable. If you apply too much pressure (manual squeeze bottle) when using any flush to the nose you will damage tissues hence why the Sinugator is much more effective at flushing out the sinuses.
I have been using various versions of a Netti Pot on and off for the past 20 years and the Sinugator is by far the best implement I have used for flushing 😊
The whole point of the exercise is LOW pressure, high volume, PULSATILE flow. The nasal sinuses are within 3 inches of the nostril. Therefore the machine is designed to only use that amount of pressure and spray, to improve ciliary motility and function. The 3 foot squirting bottle is not needed and may even be detrimental.

If you go manual, get a neti pot if your afraid of this. Some people need the pressure of the bottle. I couldn't use the bottle. I just got a sinugator. Don't know how well it's going to work for me. Wish me luck.

if you squeezed the bottle that hard, you would shoot the liquid down the back of your throat. I have the squeeze bottle an I don't use anywhere near that much pressure.
kitteekatti this actually doesn’t matter, what you are essentially doing is filling up the sinuses with solution. It doesn’t matter if one goes higher up than the other eventually the sinuses will be completely filled with the solution
You can pulse the squeeze bottle on your own. I've done both, but I haven't used the neilmed one, I bought sinupulse and it's ok. Still thinking of going back to the bottle. Way easier to use.
I would say, that depends on the two-and-a-half-year-old. If the child understands to tilt their head and not breathe for a little while.... You don't want the child to swallow or breathe in any of the saline solution. I would think that most children would NOT be able to use the device as it would freak them out.

I hope you heal quickly!!

That has to be the most unscientific experiment I have ever seen.
🤣🤣🤣👍
Good thing this isn't a science channel.

Actually, I tend to be all or nothing, so I've went back to the old Netti pot to protect myself.

Low pressure doesn't clear out my gooey deposits.
....Good point, although there are sinuses as high as the forehead.
Thank you. Saved me 20 bux! I'll keep using the bottle.

Thank you for posting this! The rinse bottle is WAY too strong for me and now I see why haha
You're so welcome!
Wow, was waiting for you to actually use the product!
If you go manual, get a neti pot if your afraid of this.
Some people need the pressure of the bottle. I couldn't use the bottle. I just got a sinugator. Don't know how well it's going to work for me. Wish me luck.
GREAT COMPARISON!!!
Well done demonstration. Thanks! Please ignore the trolls.
Adding “Sinus Serum” to my saline rinse seems to be the best thing for me for getting rid of and preventing sinus infections
Be great if you told anyone what that was.
What is this "sinus serum" you speak of....🤔
Thank you I was considering buying the Sinugator but will stick with the bottle

Thank you for the demo. You saved me a lot of misery.
if you squeezed the bottle that hard, you would shoot the liquid down the back of your throat. I have the squeeze bottle an I don't use anywhere near that much pressure.
The stream completely unimpeded goes pretty far. As soon as it hits the nasal passages, not so much.
You miss the point. It was to compare power and you don't have to squeeze that hard if not needed.
Please help which one do I need I only breathe out of one side of my nose and my other side has been clogged for a whole year
🤔Sinugator!!!! I have both ....
The left one could brain wash as a bonus point, considering the height it can reach.
This was recommended to me by my ent doctor. But when I do it water doesn't come out the other nostril
If your sinus are completely blocked, this is not useful..
lol worst "experiment" ever! The point is one pulsates which is more effective than a direct stream no matter how hard it is....
One goes higher, one pulses. It all depends on what you need.

How high are your nostrils? Are you trying to do this on an elephant?
Can I use this for 2 and half year old???

You don't want the child to swallow or breathe in any of the saline solution. I would think that most children would NOT be able to use the device as it would freak them out.
fyi the bottle cost like $5, the electrical bottle cost like $25 lol
It is only one best treatment for sinus sufferers nothing else
well one goes into the nose the other doesnt,,, so seems the same
Okay, and are your sinuses six feet long? Use your brain...
Lol!
