Description of Baby Nasal Aspirator Vacuum Suction Pigeon (Made in Japan)
This nasal cleaner is with a tube for mother to vacuum out baby's mucus. You can feel and control vacuum suction. When the nose is clear, you will feel the free air go in your mouth. The mucus will be collected in the container. All parts are detachable for cleaning (the large white part can be separate into two parts as well). Just rinse with warm or hot water right after each use. It can also be sterilized in boiling water (except the clear container and carry case). I personally like to hold the baby upright when vacuuming the mucus, so I can control the directions as well. It's a very handy tool when baby got running or stuffy nose.English instruction is included.

Customer Review: Far superior to a bulb-style aspirator
Summary: 5 Stars
Long ago I'd been told by a parenting educator to bring home the hospital bulb's aspirator as the ones they have in hospitals are far better than the ones you can buy in stores, and that was true; we've protected my 3-year-old's hospital aspirator for, well, 3 years, and it's worked okay. But when my second kid was born, the bulb we got from the hospital was far inferior, and I couldn't find one in stores that was any better. Searching led me to this pigeon aspirator, and it is a VAST improvement over the bulb -- I'll be buying a second one for the older kid and tossing the 3-year-old bulb that must be pretty horribly disgusting inside by now.
Major improvements over the bulb:
- the shape of the tip is flared so that you don't have to insert it more than an eighth of an inch at most before it forms a pretty good seal with the baby's nostril. With the hospital bulb, it was hard not to insert it too far, especially when my baby tried to rub her nose and inevitably jammed it in farther.
- this style allows you to apply continuous suction (limited, of course, by how long you can maintain the suction with your lungs). I hated having to suck, remove the bulb, blast it out, and reinsert it every time; and was never sure whether the gurgling I would hear was new snot being sucked, or old stuff stuck inside the bulb. With this aspirator you can feel from the resistance to your suction whether you've successfully sucked up a booger or not.
- it's easy to disassemble and clean this device. I do agree with another reviewer that the part that goes in to the baby's nose should really be made of transparent plastic so you can at least get an eyeball on how clean it is.
- my baby doesn't dislike it any more than she dislikes the bulb. After a couple of days of using it, she's switched from sad crying to just petulant complaining while I use this, so maybe she doesn't hate it as much. It's hard to tell. My 3-year-old used to hate the bulb but got used to it -- I think they'll get used to anything over time.
I don't know yet what the limits are in terms of how hot I can get this thing as I clean it. Back in high school we used to clean chemistry lab glassware in hot water followed by a spray of acetone, which evaporated quickly and got it really dry really fast. But I'm concerned that the acetone would attack the plastic so haven't tried that yet. If nothing else, a periodic cleaning with alcohol or peroxide might do the trick to get it really sanitized.
