- Navage Starter Bundle – Nasal Irrigation System - Saline Nasal Rinse Kit with 1 Nose Cleaner and 30 SaltPods for Congestion Relief ($109 Value). Sinus Rinse for Clinically Proven Benefits

I decided to try the Navage Starter Bundle after dealing with ongoing sinus congestion and pressure, and it has honestly made a noticeable difference. The system itself feels high quality and well-made. It’s very easy to set up, and the pre-measured SaltPods make it convenient — no guessing on saline ratios or mixing errors. The suction feature is what really sets this apart from a traditional neti pot. Instead of just pouring saline through your sinuses, it actively pulls the solution through, which makes it feel much more thorough and effective. After using it consistently, I’ve noticed: Less sinus pressure Easier breathing, especially at night Reduced post-nasal drip Clearer passages during allergy flare-ups It can feel a little strange the first time you use it (there’s definitely an adjustment period), but once you get the hang of it, it becomes quick and comfortable. Cleaning the unit is simple as well, which is important for something used regularly. The only downside is the ongoing cost of the SaltPods, since you have to use the brand-specific pods. However, for the relief it provides, I personally feel it’s worth it. If you struggle with congestion, allergies, or sinus pressure, this is a solid investment that feels more effective than standard rinses. Definitely glad I gave it a try.

I received my Navage two months ago. Being one with lifetime sinus issues, I had great anticipation that it would at least lessen, if not eliminate my seasonal pollen and dust related congestion and runniness. I'm sure that I was not alone with my initial feelings of hesitance, uneasiness, and trepidation as I stirred up the courage to use it the first time, and my fears were not unfounded as salt water ran down the back of my throat, bringing about a sense of drowning. However, I persisted and experimented with different positions of my tongue, closing my throat, none of which worked. Then I watched the woman in the YouTube instructional video, who was speaking as she demonstrated it; she was breathing through her mouth! My next attempt was 100% successful. I simply breathed through my mouth. Every time I breathed naturally through my mouth, everything went perfectly. Every time I closed my throat, the water was immediately misdirected. However, I knew that air and water was escaping between the nose pillows and my nostrils, which indicated to me that the standard equipped nose pillows were not creating the necessary tight seal. I ordered the extra large pillows, which, along with holding the nosepieces more relaxed and less tightly, immediately corrected the problem entirely. It now takes me less than 15 seconds for each complete irrigation, which is one cup of slightly warmed, distilled water and one salt pod. I have found the Navage to be incredibly soothing and refreshing, and it has successfully cured all my sinus irritation! It's a wonderful appliance and one that I look forward to using every morning, and occasionally before bedtime.

The concept of this product is absolutely perfect! If you are swimmer then you'll understand the concept of how this works better. From a science standpoint, the material is made very well, there is nothing cheap about it. The instructions are easy to read, but the instructions are long, so please take the time to read it throughly. I believe that disclaimers should be implemented, such as if your nose bleeds a lot maybe this product is not for you. I don't suggest if your nose is bleeding while doing this, you should not use this. Secondly, this might be a bit controversial but if you use any schedule two drugs or a regular basis, this may not be for you as well due to deteriorating nasal cavity over time. But if you do have the common cold/flu/alligeries or sinus this will be the best thing ever. I tried to find the actual specifications on the actual manufaturing and salt packs, but I couldn't find it on a public knowledge basis. This part may be internal (if you're in Science BioPharma like I am you'll understand) For actual use, I feel like a swimmer because the concept is really good. Ideally, you have to make sure to keep your mouth open and do not hold your breath! If you do, the pump valve will not move (going up & down) If water is going down your throat and out your mouth...you're doing it wrong. If water is making you gag or choke...you're doing it wrong. You have to relax and allow the saline to going in one nostril and out the other. The nozzle is rotating, this way you have the option to switch which way you would like the saline to go in or out. This part is optional but it's better if you use alkaline distilled water and warm it for thirty seconds. Warmth is better and more comfortable for the nose this way the saline can work better and mucus comes out faster. If you see the solution leave your nostril on side and go into the bottom tank you are doing it correctly! Apologize for the long review, hope this helps. Cheers to breathing better!

I have suffered sinus issues due to deviated septum and seasonal allergies for 30 years. I've tried everything. Anyone who has real sinus issues knows that you need something with power, not manual like a neti pot or squeeze bottle. I'm comparing the Navage to the the original Grossan Nasal Irrigation System invented in the 70's and the current Sinupulse Nasal Irrigation System you can get on Amazon. I believe these two systems are in the same league as the Navage. If you are comparing it to pretty much anything else, the Navage will win out because it has power, as would the Sinupulse and other powered machines. There is no comparison between power and non-power. I'm guessing many reviews are comparing manual neti pots to the Navage and that is just not fair. The Navage is far superior to a neti pot due to its power and will review well every time because of that. Take that into account before you get excited about the prospect of a new and much better-powered machine. Pros: *The Navage works as well, if not better, than other powered machines, because of the suction. *The Navage gives a deep, clean feeling, perhaps even more than other powered machines. *The Navage gets the job done. Cons: *If you have a deviated septum the Navage is very difficult or impossible to use on the side where you most likely have most of your blockage. You can try using a nasal dilator like a breath right strip to help the flow, but it is possible that you get no flow at all or something very much inferior to your other machine. Let's face it: a lot of people with sinus problems have them because of deviated septum, so the question is, is it worth it to you? It will do a fabulous job on one side and you may need to use your original powered machine on the other. For $100 I personally think it's still worth it. Although it doesn't work on one side I do seem to cough up more afterwards. The mere fact that the water is slowly passing by near the sinus openings does something. You will know right away if it's not working on your deviated side. There will be no suction, or at least a lot less than on the other side. If you try it the first time and you get no suction switch the position of the nasal pillows. Most likely, you unknowingly started on your deviated side. *The Navage is substantially messier than any powered machine I've used in 30 years. There is a learning curve, especially with a deviated septum. You will swallow water, spit up water, get your shirt wet, etc. Once you figure out how to use it, though, this messiness dissipates. *The Navage does not allow you to use Xylitol (very toxic to dogs/pets) which can have benefits in preventing the development of bacterial sinus infections. It also does not use baking soda, which at first I thought would be a problem, but it's not. The pure saline does not burn and mixes with the whole tank of water evenly. *The suction is no joke. When you use a regular powered nasal irrigation system the primary feeling is water going up your nose. With the Navage, the primary feeling is the suction. It takes some time to get used to it. It can be alarming at first, but you just have to be calm, breathe through your mouth, and take breaks as needed. You are in full control of the power button at all times. Summary: The Navage is great for people without a deviated septum (probably superior to other powered machines). However, it's questionable for people with a deviated septum because you are only getting half the benefit. If this is your first powered machine, I would buy something like a Sinupulse first; that alone will give you relief. If you want to add this later do so. If you've had a powered machine for years this may be a nice addition to your collection of sinus treatment options.

I have been using Navage for about six months and it works well to clear my sinuses of allergens. Especially good for warding off sinus infections; the moment I feel that first tickle/spike, I use the Navage for a day or two and sinus infections just don't materialize. There is a learning curve to using it, but it is so much more effective than the manual "gravity" bottle I used to use, because the gentle pressure plus suction is what is really needed to move mucus out. One thing to note: this is a proprietary system that requires you use its own saline pods; the pod must be in place for it to operate. As a former healthcare professional, I appreciate the quality control measure of proprietary supply, so I'm happy to use the pods, even though they cost more than single use dry nasal salt packets.

This product is awesome. I've never used nasal irrigation but this makes a huge difference. The only thing less than desirable s the fact that you have to purchase the saline pods to use it. Pods can be found as cheap as 30 cents a pod but the device will not turn on without a NEW pod inserted.

After recovering from sinus surgery, my doctor prescribed something to combine along with a nasal irrigator, which, let's face it, is an unpleasant process no matter how delicately one tries, so the promise of a machine that makes it not only tidy, but as simple as a single button? Things that are too good to be true are, and if I'm lying may my nose grow. But no, my nose is what it is, and that's one (of many) issues with this device. From a merely anatomical perspective, the makers of the device assume everyone has the same nose. Why else would they not include any additional nose tips? Why would they not at least make them adjustable? These are too big, too far apart, too rigid, and not angled enough. I could tilt my whole head to kind of get it to work, but the top of the unit is not watertight, so the precious (and expensive) pod-anointed water just spills everywhere. The suction does work, but only from specific angles. The jet of anointed-water works, but again only from specific angles. Sadly the geometry of these two angles do not align, so either one side either sucks, or one side blows. There's never a smooth and uniform circulation, flow, never a lazy-river nor white-water-rapids, it was just squirt-squirt, glug-glug. With the rest on myself, or the counter, or a passing cat who should know better than to poke its nose into such things. Speaking of pokes, the lets-make-life-easy-by-making-one-button design promised easy of use, but in practicality, its so weirdly placed, not right enough but not wrong enough, that it just feels awkward in the hand and awkward to press, which in itself requires more effort than expected, and to maintain said pressure, at said odd angle, whilst holding ones head at an even odder angle, while spilling oddly anointed fluid over anything and everything that isn't a sinus, which is the one thing I was oddly aiming for. The entire device feels over-engineered. It has lots of plasticky bits. Little bits and bobs. Nose greebles. It looks cool, very sci-fi, but it also feels like there's so much that can go wrong when something as simple as a nose-vacuum needs so many parts, parts that rattle, jiggle, add unnecessary weight, and probably add unnecessary cost, parts that probably exist solely to lock you into some exclusive nose-keurig pods, for the device will do utterly nothing without that magic pod, that giver of salty liquid. And with something as inherently gross as nose-stuffings, the entire process for sanitizing the thing feels like a brutal chore. It would be nice if the device could be broken down, the parts cleaned individually, dishwashered, microwaved, steamed, exposed-to-full-moon, whatever it takes, but currently the whole thing is under lock and plastic-key, so the best you can do is run vinegar and soap through it which will absolutely most-certainly never come back to haunt you the very next time you try to use it. I began this quest because the off-the-shelf drugstore squeeze-bottle nasal-irrigator seemed cheap, low-tech, and simplistic. Now that I've seen this nose-emperor has no clothes, the squeeze bottle seems like a sudden king.

This is one of the best things I’ve bought!! I used to use the cheap ones and although this is much more expensive it is worth it!!!
