Neti pots!

Since it's the time of year (for those of us in the northern hemisphere) when everyone has colds and flu and clogged sinuses, let's talk about neti pots.

Who's got one, who's using one, who recently improvised one out of a squeezy travel-size shampoo bottle and feels much better for it? *g*

Advice, tips, experiences?

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.
