Oogiebear BLU1 oogiebear Nose Cleaner Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "This gets the hard, crusty boogers that the snot suckers can't."
• "The bear shape prevents the plastic loop from going too far up the baby’s nose."
• "Super helpful to get my baby’s nose clear before using a snot sucker!"
• "I got all the boogers out and my son didn't cry one bit."
• "Highly recommend this to help clean your baby’s nose!"
• "It is thin like a pencil and so easy to handle. Also very lightweight."
• "This tool helps scrape them out easily."

Cons:

• "While this does work well to get boogers out, it's a bit too stiff and if you twist it while baby is moving it can hurt them."
• "Mine arrived with dead batteries, not sure why two were in there when it only needs one but neither worked."
• "The plastic piece just pretty much snapped while trying to use it."
• "Every time when my son sees me try to use it, he gets a little scared."
• "Do not buy or use on your baby, the tip on the one we received was plastic, sharp, and rigid and ended up giving our baby a nosebleed."
• "I noticed dried blood in my baby’s nose after I used this.. and It didn’t clean his nose well so maybe I was digging to hard."
• "The only problem is that mine broke off after just 2 months of usage."

Design and Safety

Pros:

• "The little bear head also makes sure you don’t go too far up the nose which is great."
• "Its like a little booger shovel and fits into a newborns nose too."
• "The hooks are a soft but firm silicone type material."
• "The Oogie Bear takes care of that easily."
• "You can easily go in and 'scoop out' the boogers from baby’s nose without having to fight them too much."
• "The blue plastic part keeps it from going too far into the baby's nose and the loop end is safe and effective at removing stubborn boogers."
• "The size of the bear helps prevent you from digging too far."

Cons:

• "I wish the ends were a hard rubber rather than hard plastic that can cut or hurt the inside of the nose when our son moves."
• "The plastic boogie removal ends are made of fairly hard plastic, which I don’t think is best to stick in baby’s nostrils."
• "It’s nice to have but the ends are too big for my baby’s nose."
• "The light option is great for my night nursing and baby is stuffy but it’s so sharp!! Not made with babies sensitive noses in mind."
• "The only thing is I have to be careful because the ends can cut the inside of his nose."
• "I hope they will switch to a softer silicone 'picker.' The hard plastic is painful, and my baby cries no matter how gentle I am."
• "After first use it scrap the inside side of his nostril and started to bleed."

Convenience

Pros:

• "Super easy to steam clean as well."
• "Its small, easy to clean and toss in a sterilizer and extremely easy to use."
• "Nothing sticks to this luckily."
• "The case has a 'clean' and 'dirty' side that is nicely labeled which is convenient when traveling."
• "Good for on the go as well."
• "This is single handed the most useful tool I purchased after having my baby."
• "It is extremely easy to clean/sterilize."

Cons:

• "Overpriced."
• "This is also the most expensive piece of plastic I have ever purchased."
• "However there is no reason it should cost $13."
• "I was hesitant about purchasing this because of the price (IMO it is very expensive for a small piece of plastic)."
• "Of course it's overpriced for what it is, but it works well and I'd recommend it."
• "This should definitely not cost more than $5 since it is just a tiny piece of plastic."
• "They are not safe for a sterilizer/dryer though!! We ran ours through our sterilizer dryer combo and it warped the plastic cap and the loop cracked."

Additional Features

Pros:

• "Best invention ever. Sometimes I even use just the light to see what my son has hiding in there."
• "The little light on the end is great for getting those tricky boogies."
• "This is awesome because it has a light option, which helps to distract baby."
• "The light actually does help and I’m able to get a better look inside the nose when I have to sweep out a booger."
• "The light is the best feature."
• "The light is a necessity, and works great for cleaning the ears."
• "The teddy bear ends ensure the device doesn’t go too far up the nose too."

Cons:

• "The light is helpful but it goes out now and then or turns off on its own not sure if my product is defective."
• "I’m not super happy because my 90 day return or replacement window ended on January 31st and of course now at the beginning of February the plastic that’s used to go inside of the nose is broken."
• "The only problem is that mine broke off after just 2 months of usage."
• "Both slide on nose pickers were poorly made. The tips on both of them broke off after minimal (and gentle!) usage."
• "For the price it doesn’t work that great."
• "It is hard to use for my 10 months old because it distracts her."
• "Not sure how long battery would last."
