WHAT IS IT?
Parent Bloggers Network sent me a travel pack of single-use Nozin nasal sanitizer swabs to try. I have been a long-time user of Zicam swabs, so I was familiar with the concept. Break the swab open, and rub the cotton-swab tip just inside each nostril. Nozin is different though, because it contains an antimocrobial formula that actually sanitizes the inside of your nose and keeps germs from multiplying. It kills germs that cause colds and the flu, and in trials, one application was effective for over eight hours!
HOW DO I USE IT?
I already had the basic idea of how to use the Nozin swabs, but just for fun, I watched the “how to use” flash movie. I like that it showed exactly how to flick the swab to mix the solution, and exactly how far into the nose to put the swab. Really! So I gave one a flick, snapped it open, and swabbed my nose. It has a pleasant orange smell, and didn’t drip.
HOW DID IT WORK?
I then proceeded to go on a long nature hike with my family, and because I am generally allergic to “nature”, that would normally have left me with a sniffly nose. I am happy to report that my nose did not get stuffed up at all! I have to assume that the Nozin kept the pollen from getting farther into my nose. I won’t be getting on an airplane until November, when I am hopefully attending the BlogWorld and PostieCon conferences in Las Vegas, but I’ll definitely take some in my purse to use before I get on the plane. God only knows what germs are in that recirculated air!
WOULD I BUY IT FOR MYSELF?
Yes, especially the next time one of my kids gets one of those constantly runny noses. I just do not have time to be sick, so I would use Nozin as a preventive measure. Great product!
i think it is not good, you got to let the kids get sick or there immune system will be wick. it doesn’t mean now to go and infect your child but over protective can lead to a disaster
I would not use this product on my children. What I meant was that I would use it to protect MYSELF from catching a cold the next time one of my children gets one.
Thanks for the honest review Elizabeth, I’m definitely going to try them out for myself.
i think i would try it on myself first if i feel it safe and the my doc. before trying it on my kids.
Hi! Just bumped in your website. What are the ingredients of this products? Are they all natural or synthetic-based? Just asking. Thanks! =)
