i got a neti pot today im hoping it helps more than the bulb syringe about half the water would come out of the same side i was using it gonna keep my nose moist and well cleaned and hope it improves my smell

The thing about a neti pot is that you must use it with some consistency. (Ideally, every day.)

The only thing you have promoting the water flow through your sinuses with a neti pot is gravity.

Neti pots come in various sizes. I started with an 8 oz. and then got a 16 oz.

For a clean rinse I had to use my 8 oz. pot at least twice.

If you are really plugged up solid, you might want to try a NeilMed Sinus Rinse squeeze bottle.

You can save yourself a fortune on the additive packets if you just go down to the supermarket and buy some sea salt.

Yup I use my neti pot before I sleep or sometimes in the morning.also I save money by buying some kosher salt in bulk from a health food store and add some baking soda.
