Sweden is known for two things: supermodels and apparently, snot suckers, since this nasal aspirator has been used by "Swedish Moms and Dads for years." Basically, if your child is refusing to blow their nose, jam the $15 NoseFrida against their nostril (but not inside) and start sucking on the end to pull out all kinds of nasty nastiness. Don't worry about it getting into your mouth though, because they assure us:
WITH THE FILTER IN PLACE, THE PARENT DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE MUCOUS FROM THE CHILD. There is no risk of bacterial contamination, in other words, you will not get the cold your child has.
Uh huh. Sorry, but I don't care how good the filter is, I don't go anywhere near sick children (or well ones, for that matter.) The last thing I'm going to do is pull their creepy-crawlies directly toward my mouth.
What happened to the old fashioned thing of the parent just wiping the kid's nose with a tissue, if the kid refused to do it themself?

Because some kids can't blow at a younge age, and I know some kids dont like people stickin fingers up their nose to dig it out so these snot sucks work wonders.

That looks interesting, never seen one before in my life. Be a nice present to give to your child when he/she turns 18.

Gotcha, but it still sounds like an odd gadget imo. Well if it works, I guess that's the main thing.
