 Don't put Vaseline in your nose Dec 01, 2009
By Patrick M. Mcmullen
This is in response to the reviewer's suggestion to put vaseline in your nose instead of this product. You can not buy the Ayr products, I don't care, but don't use vaseline instead - it can get into your lungs and cause a respiratory problem, lipoid pneumonia. Run a web search for "vaseline in nose" and you'll pick up plenty of articles. And the vaseline package specifically warns against putting it in your nose.

PREVENTS NOSEBLEEDS Jan 28, 2011
By Boiler29
Before finding Ayr Gel I would get daily nosebleeds no matter what I would do during the winter. Tried humidifying the air at home, but the dryness outside and at work were enough to cause cracking and serious bleeding from November till March. I didn't want to stick Vaseline or vicks up my nose because I hear that causes more problems with the petroleum. And using nasal sprays too much will rot out your passages because they constrict the vessels and limit blood flow. I was contemplating getting a cauterization procedure done because the bleeding was so bad and embarrassing.
Thank goodness I found this gel that can be applied in the nose. I did find that the way you apply it makes a big difference. Best way is just to take a 3/4 rice grain size dab on the tip of your finger and wipe it right at the entrance of your nose. Then massage the outside of each nostril to spread it all over the inside evenly. It lasts all day unless you have a runny nose and are blowing all the time. If you just stick the dab way up in your nose it doesn't get spread around and you'll likely just blow it out nor cover everything that needs to be protected.
Once I got this figured out I have not had ANY bleeds by applying the gel just once a day (in the morning).. I am truly amazed it has worked as well. No more having to carry a wad of kleenex around in my pockets!
I average about one tube per 2-3 weeks. Obviously in my case a few bucks is worth not bleeding to death every day!

Best product for dry, stuffy noses Apr 17, 2005
By A. J. Shea
"eclectic extraordinaire"
Saline nasal gel is longer-lasting than just plain saline. The humidifying effect reminds me of a cool, misty, spring morning. Usually lasts all night; in extremely dry environments you may need to use a bit more than one application during the night.
This gel is also very useful on long airline flights where your nose gets overly dried-out -- just apply a little dab under each nostril every few hours and you'll breathe more easily the whole flight!

Ayr Saline nasal gel Mar 11, 2009
By Diannekelsey
If you are on a CPAP or Oxygen this gel helps keep your nose from drying out. It's better than a humidifier for me because I was always getting sinus infections from the moisture. This gel works great.Ayr Saline Nasal Gel, With Soothing Aloe, 0.5-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 4)

Better than a humidifer Sep 09, 2005
By Linda Wojciechowski

This is far better than a room humidifer. The gel lasts longer and works better in keeping your nose moist. Has helped reduced that dry stuffy feeling.
