OK, you Nose Frida sickos.

I've officially joined your ranks.

When I'm not actively dry-heaving into the tube, I'm not having much luck sucking the snot out.  (Gah, this is so disgusting.)  I don't know what "speed" and "pressure" to suck with.  (That's what she said.)

What am I doing wrong?  


Re: OK, you Nose Frida sickos.

  • It took me a few times using it before I figured out how to use it right.  I think it really depends on how your child reacts to it.  I have to do so quick because Mason hates it and tries to move away.
  • I usually had to really stick it in there and suck really hard in order for it to work. (ha!). DH would scream "You're going to suck his brain out!!!!" So gross. But ya gotta do what you gotta do.

    Do you let C kiss you when he has a runny nose?  You're more likely to get more snot on you doing that then when you're using the nose frida...just sayin'

  • Um...we have these new fangled things called klenex so I wipe my kids nose.

    We also used the battery operated nose sucker and that thing worked really well and I didn't have to manually suck the snot out of my kids nose.

    ha, ha, ha

    It takes 2 of us to pin lyra down to use the bulb, I can't imagine trying to have a hose going from her nose to my mouth,         she would have that thing ripped out in seconds, excuse the bad typing she is helping me. 

  • This thread literally made me dry heave.

    I dont think Audrey would tolerate it, either.

    Ride there with you. Gross.

  • People! You don't get any snot in your mouth! There is a filter thing that stops it. And it never even reaches the filter to begin with.

    And besides, I'm sure all of you have had a certain other bodily fluid in your mouths before! It's no different. Stick out tongue

  • I find the Nose Frida way easier to use while wrestling my kids than the bulb.  For me the trick is to kind of move it around (like in a circular motion) until find "sweet spot."  Also, I start exhaling before they actually see it.  That helps because I can swoop right in and start sucking their snot.
