Make sure you sanitize it and the water thoroughly - I’ve heard of people dying from squirting bacteria up there.
Yes, when I googled it one of the autocompletes was “neti pot death”, and there were many warnings all over the box to use distilled water and we bought a gallon of that as well.
It was weird and I was anxious and it wasn’t a total success.
Oh, and now I learn that you shouldn’t use it if you’re having ear problems! Well, I didn’t use it very much.

i’ve tried netti pot it! it feels kinda weird at first and some of it ends up going down your throat but i felt so refreshed afterwards
It did indeed feel weird, so weird that I didn’t do too well with it. I was pretty anxious and then it felt all weird and I was like whoa, but at least I got it through the left side. The right side - I don’t know what I was doing wrong there, but it never made it all the way through on the right side.
We also got earwax removal stuff because my ears were really really bad, and that worked, and I do feel quite a bit better now.
I’ll keep trying with the neti pot and maybe I’ll get it one of these days.
