Helpful or Hype?
When I first saw the NoseFrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator I thought “yuck!” And who wouldn’t? At first look is seems like you will be accidentally suck the baby’s buggers. But, the NoseFrida has disposable filters that prevent any bacterial transfer.
The tube is placed against the baby’s nostril, not inside. Caregivers use their own suction to draw mucus out of the child’s nose. The makers swear it is superior to the bulb aspirator, and presents no risk or harm to internal nasal structures and is dramatically more efficacious.
NoseFrida is easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and BPA and Phthalate free. You can always buy more filters separately. Click links above or below to purchase your own NoseFrida.

I love it! I too was a bit icked out by the idea, but have found it to me much more gentle and clean than a bulb syringe.
