I have a neti pot and the squeeze bottle from Neil Med. Love them both. I use the neti pot when I'm clogged up to save myself the ear pain of the squeeze bottle. Everyone in the family has their own bottle, I'm the only one to use the neti pot. I like the little solution packets because it's one less step and less steps means more uses.

I do get the "drowning" feeling from the neti pot, which is why I go with the bottle more, as I don't have to bend. However, I get the drowning feeling from a glass of water as well (no joke) so it's not a surprise.
