NoseFrida the SnotSucker

The NoseFrida is a total lifesaver for congested babies. It works incredibly well and clears little noses quickly and gently. The suction is strong but controlled, and the hygiene filters give great peace of mind. My baby could breathe easier almost immediately, and sleep improved the same night. It’s easy to clean and much more effective than bulb syringes. Every parent should have one of these.

The NoseFrida is a must-have for parents dealing with a congested baby. It effectively clears nasal passages, helping babies breathe and feed more comfortably. The design is hygienic and easy to use, with replaceable filters to ensure safety. It’s simple to clean and durable, making it reliable for repeated use. Overall, a high-quality, effective, and indispensable tool for baby care. Highly recommended for keeping little ones comfortable during cold or allergy season.

I absolutely love this snot sucker! As gross as it sounds it does the job! I’ll spare you the details by submitting a picture but truly it works! I was a bit nervous to use it for the first time being it just sounds so nasty. But this simple tool is made a certain way where nothing goes in your mouth. My baby doesn’t like it very much but you can see the relief on their face once it’s done. Simple, cheap, and effective. Get it.

I’ve used both an automatic nose sucker and this manual one, and honestly, this works so much better. The suction is stronger and more controlled, which makes it much more effective at actually clearing little noses. With the manual version, you can adjust the pressure and really get things out quickly instead of having to go over the same spot again and again like with the electric ones. It’s also quieter and less intimidating for babies and toddlers. If you’re trying to decide between automatic and manual, I would absolutely recommend going with this style. It’s simple, effective, and gets the job done far better than the electric version I tried.

I was very skeptical to buy this at first. First of all I was concerned about sucking my baby’s boogers into my own mouth, and second of all I was afraid it was going to be too big to fit into her nose. After purchasing this, both of those worries were put to rest immediately! There is a sponge at the back of the tube where the boogers are sucked in that prevents anything from coming up the tube you are sucking into. It also comes with refillable sponges so you don’t have to worry about the sponge getting too dirty. I found that, even if I’m sucking up her boogers with as much air as I can suck into my mouth, her boogers don’t even come close to reaching the back of the tube where the sponge is located. The tube is the perfect size for baby nostrils! I got this when my baby was only 4 weeks old and even then it fit in her nostril. It gets SO many boogers out of her nose and I can tell she is breathing so much clearer afterwards. She even started to like getting her boogers sucked out and will laugh as I do it! All the pieces are washable and I try to wash out the tube after every use so the boogers don’t get caked inside of it. I highly recommend getting one of these! It has made my life so much easier with a young baby and I don’t have to worry about her being plugged up! It took me a minute to get used to how hard you have to suck in at first, but that being said, even at the first time I used it, it worked so well! I was amazed at how many boogers were hiding in her little nose!

Works well, but a little too expensive My wife likes this since it's better than any of the electric ones. But this thing is so basic and it's so expensive... A smart business.

I thought this was totally gross, but once you get over that hangup, you won't be sorry. OMG this WORKS, and my very fussy 1-yr old doesn't fight me with this, he actually likes it.

My baby's pediatrician told us to buy this product, specifically, and toss our ineffective, germ-trapping, mold-growing nasal aspirators (like the kind the hospital sends home). So I knew I would buy it; my biggest question was whether or not I needed to buy the combo-pack that came with a zillion extra filters or not. I'll answer that, as well as highlight some other product features/thoughts. 1. I am glad we didn't buy 20 extra filters! They were only a few bucks, so you can't really go wrong either way, but I doubt we'll be needing any more in the foreseeable future. The Frida comes with 4 filters, so you have spares. I think the Frida says something CYA-ish like "change filter with each use," but the snot has NEVER come up the tube far enough to get even remotely close to filter. It really just stays close to the tip down there. Perhaps there are a few children with exceptional (literally) snot to this scenario or older children with copious amounts of mucous, but I can't see that being the case very often. Some reviewers have even reported rinsing out the filter and, while I don't see why that wouldn't work, my opinion is that these filters last so long that IF you manage to dirty your filter, it's probably time to throw it out and use a new one just for the heck of it. I've had mine for at least 2 months, probably 6-10 uses, and am still using the first filter. I hope that helps; it was hard for me to find a definitive answer about filter longevity from reading the reviews so I wanted to answer thoroughly. 2. I thought the concept of "sucking" up my baby's nasal congestion didn't bother me at all; I felt very insulated from the grossness because of the long tubing and filter (...and I'm a nurse). So I was shocked when I went to use this for the first time and nearly gagged. It was a little hard to get used to mentally, but after just two or three uses, it didn't even faze me anymore. 3. So easy to clean. Just take it apart and wash or rinse it. It's also dishwasher-safe (top rack). Doesn't get easier than that. There's no way you're getting one of those hospital-style aspirators clean. EVER. 4. Despite being a germaphobe, I didn't bother to sterilize this before it's maiden voyage. It comes clean from the package, it has minimal contact with my baby (and zero internal/mouth/hands contact), and it's sucking up SNOT for goodness sake. It's not exactly a sterile procedure to begin with, but it can't hurt to sterilize or toss it in the dishwasher if you feel better that way. But if you're wondering if you're a horrible parent for using it straight from the box...I don't think it's a big deal. I certainly didn't see the hospital nurses boiling my baby's aspirator before they shoved it down her orifices. 5. The biggest question is DOES THIS WORK? Well...YES. Thin or thick, this gets them all! -Sucking by mouth (rather than squeezing that horrible bulb) allows sustained suction long enough to actually grab the boogers (well, til you run out of breath). Even if you only get them partially out of the nose, you can easily wipe them away with a soft kleenex; but its actually not hard to get ALL the goopies out. -You can SEE if you're getting boogers out because the chamber is CLEAR. (Don't you hate the guessing game with the bulb suctions, trying to gauge by the slurpy sound whether you're making any progress in there?) -You can control the force of the suction, so you're not accidentally sucking your kid's brain out or giving them a partial lobectomy when you release the bulb. -And you can wiggle the tip around at different angles (again, visualizing which angles are getting the snot out as you do it). You can't do that with the bulbs because trying to release bulb pressure while navigating the tip is too hard. But the tubing separates the suction from the tip enough that you can maneuver the tip without compromising the suction. 6. Does baby hate it? Mine doesn't love it, but she doesn't hate it either. Sometimes she squirms and fusses or cries, sometimes she's pretty calm. But regardless, if you've ever had a baby that won't sleep or won't eat or won't stop crying because she can't breathe, pissing her off for a harmless 60 seconds is so worth it when she takes a deep breath, stops crying, smiles a little bit, and eats or sleeps or coos. It's "all natural," plus there really aren't many medications you can give an infant.

Usamos el aspirador para hacer los lavados nasales a mi bebé de 9 meses y ha mostrado ser más efectivo que la pera.

Es muy útil para sacarlos mocos de los bebés, no utiliza pilas ni electricidad, por lo que no hacer ruido y no es molesto para los bebés.

Molto utile e facile da usare. Indispensabile per chi non riesce a fare i lavaggi nasali.

This item is absolutely amazing for what it does. It efficiently sucks the snot right out of your baby’s nose. There is no way it can cross contaminate with you with the filter installed. It’s very sturdy and well-made super easy to clean. The only downside to it is that my baby absolutely hates it Which is understandable. I can imagine that the sensation is not pleasant. But from a parent point of view it is satisfying getting all that gunk out of my baby to allow her to breathe properly.

Ohne dieses Teil wäre ich schon in so manch einer Nacht aufgeschmissen gewesen. Die NoseFrida funktioniert zuverlässig und einfach. Man bekommt auch definitiv nichts von dem Rotz in den Mund, falls das jemanden abschrecken sollte. Im Gegenteil; ich finde dadurch, dass man den Unterdruck selbst steuern kann, ist es für das Kind viel angenehmer als mit einem elektrischer Sauger. Absolut praktisch 👍🏻
