Nasal aspirators
Haakaa Easy-Squeezy Silicone Bulb Syringe
Our take
A clear silicone bulb that comes apart for cleaning, which fixes the classic bulb syringe problem of mold hiding inside. The narrow tip is gentle, but it can pop off mid-use.

Consider instead: NoseFrida SnotSucker for stronger suction.
Before you buy

Cost per monthAbout $0.46 a month over a typical 24 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Secondhand?Buy new. Buy new for hygiene.
