My humidifer is my new best friend!

I finally got a humidifer- it was on clearnace in Target for $17 no less!
Let me tell you what a difference that thing made.
The night before last I kept waking up with horrible pain in my nose and sinuses from the dry air- then I woke up yesterday with a horrible sinus headache that would not quit all day!

I used the humidifer last night and was amazed at how comfortably I slept and how I woke up with so much less congestion and sinus pain!

I was going to use this for the nursery but I think we'll have to buy baby her own- this one is MINE!! Chat Icon

Just wanted to share- i know a lot of us preggos suffer with our sinuses- especially with the dry heat. Definitely worth the purchase!!

You know it's funny because I was expecting there to be a stream of mist or steam coming out of it like a vaporizer- but it just kind of blew fresh smelling air.
I didn't think it was working- but the instructions said that is normal.
And my little humidity gauge that I have in my room went up into the humid zone by morning... so maybe it wouldn't curl your hair as bad as you think! Chat Icon

Hmmmm this is literally the only thing stopping me - maybe I should try one out if I find a cheap one - thanks!

It's funny because when DS isn't using his, WE steal it from him to use in our room.Chat Icon

I've had a sinus infection for 10 days and finally went to the dr last night. After reading this post, I am heading to Target after work to buy one! Thanks!

Re: My humidifer is my new best friend!

I am headed to BBB to buy one today. I have a coupon. Do you think have the ceiling fan on at night will effect how useful the humidifer is?

Re: My humidifer is my new best friend!

Can I ask you girls which humidifiers you have?? I have a sharper image one and I feel like it's not helping at all - my nose is still very dry.

I need one that will keep my room humid!! Do you keep the door closed? Also did you sleep with it by your side?

I got a Holmes- didn't do much research just saw it on clearance and was like- $17 is for me!
It's not too big- I keep it on my dresser but you can keep it on a nightstand.

It's a bit noisy- just to warn you- I keep it on the lower fan setting...and it does pump out some cool air- so try to keep it away from your bed as much as you can.

But to me- totally worth it.

I do keep the door closed - because my cats would wake me up all night otherwise!

I keep it on my dresser- about 5 feet from my bed maybe...in the morning my humidity gauge was way up from when I went to bed so it was definitely working...just be warned, it's a bit loud and it does produce a bit of a cool breeze.

I keep a space heater on all night- hence the dry nose...so I don't think a fan would affect it- if the space heater didn't the fan shouldn't either!

is it a "cool mist" humidifier?
was in the store and saw they have all different kinds....i see on these boards everyone says for baby to use a cool mist one....just wondering what is the difference between the cool mist and the other humidifiers?

I got the cool mist- they say it harbors less bacteria than the warm mist ones.
