VicksAdvanced Soothing Vapors Waterless Vaporizer with Night Light and VapoPads to Help Relieve Discomfort from Colds and Flu , 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Must have for sick babies! This was a life saver when my 9 month old was super congested and couldn’t sleep. I use it everytime she’s sick now and she can sleep through the night! The only downside is you have to put a new tab in every night and if they’re sick for a week the pack goes by quickly and you have to buy refills which aren’t the cheapest! But it’s still definitely worth it!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The best helped my toddler that was congested!

Helped with my allergies and sleep.

These used to be a lot stronger. They still helped but really didn't seem strong enough.

It helps a lot to be able to breathe better when you sleep

I bought this while my wife and I were suffering from congestion from a head cold. We got tired of smearing Vicks under our noses every night before bed and I remembered when I was a child that my parents would put Vicks in a "vaporizer" that would fill the room with that smell of eucalyptus and gun grease and greatly relieved breathing difficulties caused by a stuffy nose. A little on-line research revealed this little plug-in device that, ostensibly, would provide the same relief but without the mess and hassle. Well, we were both sorely disappointed. We even bought an extra pack of the little strips that go in this thing. The directions say "DO NOT TOUCH" the exposed strips (after removing them from the wrapper) with your fingers. I don't know what happens if you do (Do your fingers fall off?) but that in itself makes this difficult to load and refill, which has to be done every night, by the way. After the first night's use, we did not notice any difference. There was no smell of Vicks in the room-- the only way to smell anything was if you put your nose very close to the unit where it was plugged into the wall outlet. The second (and several consecutive) nights I doubled-up on the strips (which the directions say you can do) but neither of us noticed any difference. It was, in my opinion, a complete waste of money, except that I used Amazon points to buy it. The extra strips, on the other hand, we paid cash for at our local pharmacy and they were expensive, considering they don't really work, as near as either of us could tell. We've gone back to the tried and true method of smearing Vicks under our nose whenever we have nasal congestion.

Overall product is great and the smell is Awesome the menthol helped feel like you could breath better instantly! But unfortunately the pads burn out to fast! (Up to 8 hours) You will have to keep changing them. It came with 4 and I need more already and only used 2 nights. I think I'll do better with the vicks vape steamer for my sons sinuses issues!

Toddlers get sick ALL the time. This is great for opening their sinuses. The tab lasts a long time. I haven’t even used the first one up and my toddler has gotten sick a few times. Smells like Vicks and worth the money.
