This is an OVER-PRICED device that doesn't even perform better than a Q-tip. Seriously, the poor new parents (like myself) that will get suckered into buying this unnecessary, expensive thing. Please believe me, just use a Q-tip. This is by no means "safer" or "better.” Another “must have” item to swindle more new parents to spend their hard earned money.I thought this device was going to be made with soft silicone tips. I thought it would act like a version of an ear wax curette, but soft and for a baby's nose. The hooks on the ends are HARD and not flexible... unless you really want to use force and bend the hard plastic. The hooks have seams that a should have been smoothed out, but instead they left the rough edges. There's no advantage to this product over a Q-tip. It isn't any more maneuverable in a baby's nose and it gives you less visibility when inside the nose. Both pose the same risks when inserted into the nose. You still have to be just as extra careful and gentle with both devices... but at least a Qtip has a softer tip. The bear head is their “safety feature” to stop you from inserting the stick too far. If you make sure you pinch the Qtip with your fingers right below the cotton part of the Qtip, you fingers can also act as this safety barrier (revolutionary!). Yet another baby “invention” to take the place of something you likely already have in your household.I have noted that boogies will cling onto a dry Q-tip A LOT better in comparison to this device (especially if you make the cotton tip a bit wispy with your fingers). And a wet Q-tip can help soften a hardened booger, then a dry one can grab it (saline spray also helps wet dry boogers). Seriously, save your money. My mother laughed when she saw that I bought this (I couldn't bare to tell her what I spent on it 😣💸). Also, baby tolerates Qtips over this device so much better (no rough edges). I found myself having to do a lot more “fishing around” in the nose with the boogie ear than I do with Qtips. There's a lot of baby items out there that are so unnecessary, and this is one of them. I hope I at least helped one person decide to save $20 😂🙌🏼 I'm embarrassed I bought into this. If this was something like $5 (like it should be) I would say, "sure, give it a try if you're curious." However, the price they're charging for a small piece of plastic is shameful. The amount of materials used to make this item compared to the price charged to consumers is greed at its finest. If you’re a new parent, be careful of all the baby gimmicks marketed to prey on your inexperience. Baby is now almost 2 years old, and I can still tell you that a Qtip is performing better than this plastic stick 🤦‍♀️ We also occasionally use our Hydrasense nose sucker for hard boogies that are “right there” (when sticking anything in there would only push it back further). We like the hydrasense over the frida (have both) for it’s smaller tip. However, both work. Before you know it, your baby’s nostrils will be big enough for you to get your own finger up there too. Save the twenty and buy mama a treat.***If you buy this and plan to use it in child’s nose and ears, please be careful about cross contamination that could be concern for increased risk of ear infection. The nose can carry bacteria that shouldn’t make contact with child’s ear.***
