Woot® : One Day, One Deal™

We have one of these, and we have a different one we bought in Europe that hooks up to a vacuum cleaner.

They both do a good job of catching the snot, and they're easy to clean as long as you clean it right away.

The vacuum one works 1000x better than the mouth powered one. But they are both better than the bulb.

I own 2 of these and they work wonders when sucking boogers out of your children.

The best part is watching the massive amounts of green and yellow snot go into the tube when your child has a cold. There's something oddly satisfying about actually clearing your baby's nose that well, something you can't do with the bulb syringe very well.

My wife is the Nosefrida evangelist. She's bought some for her friends, and they all love it over the bulb.

And yes, snot will not go into your mouth... unless your son likes to remove the filter thing which mine likes to do.

When somebody promises you won't get any in your mouth, you can always believe them.

So, if you use it on yourself - does your head collapse?

I'm telling you - this is the BEST baby gift we received. Snot won't get in your mouth. We were grossed out at first, but the bulb syringe didn't work and we tried the NoseFrida. We are now evangelists, too. I give them to everyone I know who has babies. This is so worth getting over the gross factor.

One more thing - how is this more gross then your child hugging you with snot running all over his or her face? That is actually a lot more gross then using this.

If you sneeze while using this - will the baby's eyes pop out?

Add me to the list of people who say this is awesome

I'll just stick with the ShopVac.

I'm fine with the Nosefrieda...

...it's your gratuitous smackdown of Mr. Meat Loaf, one of the best vocalists ever to grace this planet, that I take issue with, Toon!

(humpf) ...overweight third-tier rock star...


grumble, grumble.

If you are not grossed out by this product, you may want to consider becoming a respiratory therapist.

I think they should rename the product to Noseferatu

Add me to the converted! I have many friends having babies this summer and they are all getting one of these. It works a zillion times better than the bulb - you get snot that is deeeep inside with a good slurp...ahuhu.

I know ppl who upon disappointment with the bulb and no other options at hand, suck it out with their mouths. I love my child, but if I can avoid that.....

The image is titled bad_hair_mom2 which makes me believe there are other interestingly named photos - like :

Whose spoiled?

With that said: I'll be looking for one.

I saw this picture and all I could think was "Brainsssss".

Rejoice! Happy users say you really won't inhale snot!

It's a good thing that those invisible cold/flu/etc germs don't spread by airborne transmission...

Sometimes I wish I had one of these for myself.

Can you imagine what ordinary people would use to suck boogers out of babies noses say 100 years ago?

Just a mouth.

Just get a compressor.

The adaptor for Schrader valves fits most babys.

Being the curious type, and after learning that parents in other countries and in earlier times had simply resorted to the device-less method, I found myself caring for one of my younglings who was stuffed up more than a carry-on coming back from a tourist destination with a great bazaar. I tried to comfort the child (I can't remember which one it was--it was many years ago), tried to sleep, tried to comfort the child, tried to sleep...

Let's just say that the old-fashioned way works. Convincing myself to do it was the hard part. I'm not suggesting that it be the norm, but it will work in a pinch.
