One of the most challenging parts of winter is what it does to your kids. In a never-ending quest to get your kids to stop coughing, sneezing or sniffling, we’ve got the lowdown on a clever, low-cost and very convenient way to put them all behind us.
The main time kids seem bothered by all of these winter ailments, is when darkness falls. Then, it’s often accompanied by a cough that booms around the house between the hours of 7 pm-7 am, jerking parents awake and sending them stumbling deliriously down the hallway in a quest to try and stem a runny nose and cure a cough.
But for little ones without any nose-blowing skills to speak of (or the inability to actually cough properly and be done with it), it’s a tough job.
What parents need is a way to relieve congestion seamlessly, without the need for the tiny patient to actually do anything. And this is where the magic of warm steam therapy comes along.
Steam, Glorious Steam
Many of us may remember suffering a cough or cold as a kid and being shunted into a hot, steamy bathroom by mum or dad. It seems that warm, moist air has long been heralded as a quick solution for coughs, colds and congestion. And the science backs it up.
Humidity, in particular warm steam, works to relieve the symptoms we associate with coughs and colds.
It does so in several ways:
- By ‘liquifying’ mucous secretions. This makes them thinner and easier to expel.
- By warming and relaxing the muscles of the throat, helping ease the ‘cough reflex’.
- By softening and adding moisture to the air. This helps to alleviate a sore, scratchy throat, crusty nose and itchy eyes.
We often add essential oils or other inhalants to the water but it’s not the smelly stuff that does the hard work, it’s the warm, moist air itself.
The delivery method of that warm, moist air has evolved, giving rise to several devices that turn water into that magic, airborne elixir.
This is Where Vaporizers, Diffusers and Humidifiers Come In!
It can be easy to think these all do the same thing but rest assured, they don’t! Each device actually works differently and serves quite different purposes.
So let’s cut to the chase and work out which one is right for you!
If you’ve stood in the aisles of your local chemist, bewildered by choice and wondering if the ‘Petal Diffuser Model 19873’ or the ‘Vicks Vaporizer’ is what you need to get your kids off struggle street, bear the following in mind.
The Diffuser
A diffuser’s primary purpose is aromatherapy; diffusing essential oils. Think of them like a super fancy essential oil burner (without the heat).
They do not humidify or heat the air, just scent it.
Diffusing particular blends of essential oils can help a stuffy nose but it won’t help congestion or conditions as there is no humidity or heat.
The Vaporizer
On the other hand, a vaporiser turns water into warm, bacteria-free steam and humidifies the air and is perfect to help relieve the symptoms of coughs, colds, flu.
Basically, it’s the hot, steamy bathroom in portable form. Vaporizers often use essential oils, in the form of water-soluble inhalants, but diffusing them is just a bonus.
The Humidifier
A humidifier is similar to both of the above in that it creates water vapour, but, like a diffuser, it’s a cool mist. It creates moisture in the air but doesn’t actually raise humidity levels to the same therapeutic degree as warm steam vaporizers. As a quick guide, take a look at the size of the water tank. The bigger – the more humidity it will add into the air and therefore more benefit (which explains why little diffusers do so little to raise the actual humidity in the room, if at all.
Cool Mist humidifiers are great for spring allergies and general wellness, with the cool function making them particularly suitable for warmer climates.
If you’re keen to banish the nighttime ninjas of sniffling, sneezing, coughing and wheezing, you need warm, moist air, ideally spiked with an inhalant that contains ingredients like eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint.
How to Choose a Vaporizer
If you’re on the hunt for a vaporizer, it’s important to look for a couple of key features:
- A long operating time: 12-14 hours is ideal as it means you won’t need to fill up overnight.
- Safe to use around children: The Vicks WarmSteam Vaporizer design cools steam by 25% to reduce scald risk. Plus, the inhalant can be added inside the Vaporizer to stop little fingers from accessing the blends.
- Automatic shut off: You want your Vaporizer to shut off when the water chamber is empty.
- An extended warranty: 5 years is ideal as it means you can troubleshoot any issues.
The Vicks WarmSteam Vaporizer* is a great choice. The vaporizer is a gentle, natural solution to help relieve cold and flu symptoms that can be used by the whole family, from tiny newborns through to adults and that’s why.
Best of all, the steam from a Vicks WarmSteam Vaporizer is 25% cooler than conventional vaporizers … another tick for safety first … way to go Vicks!
Vaporizers use specially blended formulas called inhalants like Eucalyptus, rosemary and lavender, which are water-soluble designed not to harm the vaporizer’s parts.
It’s just another reason it’s my pick when it comes to relieving the symptoms of winter coughs and colds in my house!

We have an old Vicks one which is so handy when the kids have a cold or when my son gets croup.
Sorry … it was a humidifier. Oopss!!
o I have never used a Vaporizer before, and my son and myself suffer with Bronchitis.
I havent used one before
Would love to win one of these as I have been wanting one for a very long time.
I had a Vicks one and loved it but it stopped working and havnt been able to get another one …was great for my children
I have never used a vaporizer before!
I have never used a Vick vapourizer before I know I should as I have bad chest problems I have heard they are very good.
I have not used another brand vaporiser as I have not found one I consider safe to use.
I had a square camel coloured one – bought in the 1980’s.
Would love to try this especially with sick kids all the time.
We have previously used an aroma bloom. I’ll be honest, I mostly chose it because the colour matched my son’s room and it was all our local chemist had available!
I use it as soon as my son starts to get a cough or someone in the house gets a blocked nose. Its also used as a diffuser.
Haven’t tried it before, but looks amazing!
No I haven’t tried one
I only ever use Vicks on there chest, back and feet and keep then nice and snugly..I would love to win the vapouriser thou.. I can’t afford to buy one.. Please let me win!!
I haven’t used a warm steam vapouriser before but would really like to try one because I think it would help my kids when they have colds in winter and my son’s hayfever in spring.
I remember mum having one around the house when we were growing up but never used one with my family. It would help with the sniffles around.
No but would love to.
Haven’t tried before
I have not used one before.
Have never used one but they look like fun!
We have the same sort of one as pictured. We used it alot for the first 2yrs of my sons life hes now 6 1/2 so rather well used now. Helped so much when he was sick.
I have borrowed a Vicks vaporiser off a friend in the past when my son was having a hard time breathing with blocked nose. It worked a treat.
No i have never used one, i usually get a bowl of hot water and use the steam to help with congestion but the Vicks Vaporizer looks way more convenient and effective so i would love to try it.
I have never used a vaporizer before. I really need to use one because I suffer from allergies.
I’ve never used a vaporiser but think it would be so helpful. And when it’s made by VICKS you know you can count on it!
vicks vaporizer we have used in the past but unfortunately after 10 years of use it has died and with winter colds hitting hard and fast we need a new one
I’ve always wanted one but I’ve never had one to date.
I would very mych like to win this for my son.
I haven’t ever owned one, but desperately need one. This has been a tough winter in our house and my 6month old and 3yr old keep sharing their germs so we all stay sick. This would help us all breath a little easier of a night and hopefully get some much needed sleep!!
I haven’t used a warm steam vaporiser before. I’ve only used an ulstrasonic vaporiser and while I like that I didn’t have to worry about burns I was sceptical that it actually helped.
Voporair is the one I have used. I use it all winter as my son is asthmatic and it helps keeps the colds away.
I havent used one before but I’d really love one right now to ease this blocked nose Ive got with this cold, have had too many colds this year and worried about the amount of nasal sprays ive used that probably cause damage to my nostrils so I’d much prefer something more gentle like this.
warm steam vapouriser would help us out so much. First baby and is has his first cold. It’s horrible as a mother to watch and feel helpless. I have wishedone for so long and just cant afford one at the moment. We put vicks rub in the shower and run hot water and sit in the room to help our little boy at the moment.
Ive never used one but so many people rave about it helping with the winter flu’s.
Unfortunately never used one but would definitely come in handy with my asthmatic son
I haven’t used a vaporiser before but over the last few years with my boys being ill over winter I have looked into this one
I have no used a warm steam vaporiser but i definitely would love to try one!
we have never used one but with my new little one winning this would come i. handy!!
I have never used one. But after the colds both my little ones have had this season would love to try one out
We’ve never had one but would definitely give it a crack to keep the winter blues away!
Never used a vaporiser, but would like to try one.
I’ve never used one before and I’d love to try!
Haven’t tried one, but would love to, my son has so much trouble with a blocked nose.
I’ve used one when I was younger — to help clear up sinus infections. Would love one for the little bub to avoid similar troubles.
I’ve used a Euky Bear Vapouriser often throughout Winter to help my toddler breathe better and to warm the cold air. I found it worked but the machine is very bulky and very hard to keep clean. I’d love to win a new one and the Vicks brand one sounds fantastic. I particularly like the fact it cools the vapour, a great safety feature.
I have used the Vicks vapouriser before and it was amazing. I would love to win one of my own to use when my boys get sick as I only ever use Vicks on there chest and feet. Thanks
No havent used one but have heard they are great and the kids really benefit from them so would love to try one
We have been using an old vaporiser which has been in my family for years! Looks as old as I am It is a Kaz brand. Helps heaps for the little ones with there colds and coughs! Thou it does worry me being so old! Would love to update to a Vicks vaporiser!!
I have a Vicks vaporiser & on the models detail sticker attached, it’s says it’s made by Kas You might have the original model ♀️
I have never used a vaporiser, but think I need to because I always feel like one or the other kids are sick!
I haven’t had one but would love to try it.
Never used one, but reading how awesome this is, I probably should have years ago!!!
Oh my.. I need one of these!! My son has had croup twice already this winter, and I’ve been using a humidifier!! FAIL!!
I have owned a Vicks vaporizer in the past and it was great. My youngest daughter would get sick every winter, and the vaporizer would help her get to sleep and stay asleep so she wasn’t coughing all night. We used it every winter until it stopped working. It would have been great to have the vaporizer for this winter. It’s been so cold
I’ve never used one, but need to by the sounds of this!!
I have never used a vaporozer before but would love one for my son whenever he gets a cold during winter.
Never used one, would love to win 🙂
No, I haven’t tried before.. but would love to please
I’ve never used one before, they look amazing!
Never used one. Ironically, I’ve been researching vaporizers because I need one.
We live in Canberra so heaters are a must overnight in Winter. With our eldest having eczema from an early age, we use a Vicks Vaporizer with just water to help put moisture back into the air that the heater was taking out in order to help her skin to not dry out. We also use it with Vicks Vapo Steam whenever she gets a cold. It works a treat for both. But now we have two bubs needing steam we have had to decide who needs it more each night, so we would love to win this awesome prize.
No… never use any before but start to consider buying one cause bubba always have blocked congested nose
My in- laws live in chilly Northern America and they swear by their Vicks Vaporiser to keep them healthy in winter. I should get one as my children are struggling this year
I’ve never used one before but with two asthmatic’s in the house I probably should. I remember mum putting Vicks in a small container, sitting in in boiling water and making us breathe it in from under a towel to get rid of blocked noses and colds… those were the days lol…
I haven’t used a Warm Steam Vaporizer before but I’d like to try one for those worrying snuffly snozes.
Yes I have. Used it recently for my children in their room when they had a cough/cold.
We have a vicks vaporizer & very happy with it. We need another for the second bedroom!
Ive never used a warm steam vaporiser. I desperately need one for my little boy. He’s almost two and started childcare 6 months ago. He’s ben sick non stop since then. I feel this warm steam vaporiser would help us get some more sleep.
Have a vaporiser and love it, but it needs updating as we have had it for a long time.
great product and helps kids with asthma to live a normal life
I personally have never used a humidifier but I do know it is quite good especially in flu session.
With our firstborn we used Vicks Baby Balsam when he would get sick and had a huge bulky eukybear vaporiser which I got rid of when he was a toddler. The Vicks vaporiser looks so much more user friendly and has an overall nicer design. The automatic shut off is also a fantastic feature which Is so good for peace of mind!
I received a Vicks Vapouriser at my baby shower for my first baby and it was a godsend! Helped our little one to sleep through the night when congested – and we used it too!
No, never used one. We use an ultrasonic vaporiser. Would love to be able to compare the two.
I’ve used the Vicks Vaporiser for the last 3 years and it’s been great! It’s only just stopped working, and I’ve been meaning to go buy a new one. It’s always helped with our toddler and his congestion overnight.
I’ve never used a vaporizer before, but have actually just been looking to purchase one this week as both my toddler and myself have got a cold. I’ve been completely confused as to which one I should buy!
I’ve used an older model Vicks vapouriser in the past, great for asthma and bronchitis. Would love a new machine!
No, I haven’t used one, but I really would love to next time someone in the family has a cold.
We usually put hot water in the sink with Vicks rub added to it. Then put a towel over your head and breathe it in. A vaporiser would be so much easier and nicer. 🙂
I have used a vaporizer as a kid. My littlie (6 mo) had her first cold at 1 month and my mum pulled out the good old vaporizer from 30+ years ago. I would love to win so I can convince her to finally send it to the tip but so I have access to borrow it when my daughters need it.
No, have never used one before. Our whole family has been struck down by the flu the past two weeks, would definitely have come in handy.
I have not used a vaporiser before but am keen to try one as my 5 week old son is experiencing his first bout of sickness with a dry cough and it is one of the few things we can actually seem to do to relieve him at such an early age.
I have used the Vicks vapouriser for my daughter since she was an infant, I found it worked wonders with her. My son has rarely had a chance to use it though because if one has a cold, they both do and with her asthma she usually gets it first.
I love vaporisers, so good for congestion and coughs. Unfortunately my cheaper brand is no longer working and it only had a 12 month warranty! Would love a good quality Vicks replacement.
We have an old taav vaporiser we use for colds.
I haven’t used a warm steam one before, would be interested in seeing the benefits of one though
Yes! These vaporisers are awesome for my sick twins. Would be great to have one for each room when they get bigger!
Loaned the Vicks vaporiser from a friend while I was pregnant-I was so unwell with a cold & I couldn’t take any medication for it-lets just say the Vicks vaporiser was a godsend!
I have tried this Vicks Vaporiser before on my son who has coughing fits due to blocked and congested nose. Paired with the Vicks vaporub it worked wonders for my son ensuring him a better sleep.
Yes I’ve used a Vicks Vaporiser for my eldest son when he had a particularly bad cold and cough to relieve some of the congestion and help him have a half decent sleep. It worked wonders, and I’d love a second Vicks Vaporiser for my middle son’s room for when both boys are sick at the same time and could benefit from the wonders of Vicks 🙂
I have never tried a steam vaporizer before but would love to
I have previously use a taav vapouriser. Having a second would be amazing for times like now when both my boys are sick
I have never used a humidifier but as a child growing up with Asthma this would have been much more effective and more comfortable than a towel over my head breathing in steaming water from the basin! I would love to have one on hand for our newborn.
Ive never used one personally but my mum had one and said it works absaloute wonders. And having to young kids that are always coming home from childcare all snotty i think would be great to use one.
I’ve never used one as yet as I’ve been hesitant with which one to get! I found the differences between all of them to be a little daunting!
Vicks vapour rub has been in our home since I was a child,
We’d love to try the new product on colds and flu – strong and mild!
No. Never used one yet.
I have used vaporiser before in the past. We used it at night to help with colds in the winter. Its really great to clear blocked nose, especially for my two boys.
I have used the Vix vaporizer in the past but unfortunately it doesn’t work anymore. Would love a new one, my youngest of four children isn’t well atm with broncholitis and could really do with it in his room. Thanks
No i habe never use one but i am currently peegnany and thought it would be great foe is and when my baby gets sick and tjought it could help with the whole family my hubby is a sook when hws sick hell love it, it will make him feel special haha
I have never used any steamer or vapouriser. I would like to tho. My sister is hosting a sentsy party soon and they sell these things, not vicks tho. I was thinking if getting one but they’re a bit on the expensive sive side. I would live to already have one now actually. My husband is suffering from a pretty nasty flue and he’s not at all any help looking after the baby. If the baby gets what he’s got it’s gonna be hell at home. If I had some vapouriser or diffuser at home wouldn’t that make everyone’s life easier.
We have used vaporisers with all 3 kids. Defi itely help when they have croup
Haven’t tried before
I haven’t used a vaporiser before, but they sound great & I’d like to try one!
No I have never used a vaporizer before nor a humidifier. I am a sufferer of sinus type symptoms and have always been interested in these products. I have always covered my head over a steaming bowl of water with vicks, or rubbing on vick or vick inhaler. I have had a nose operation 3 years ago now where they removed polyps and I have been a lot better since, but at times can find my nasal passages dry.
Never used a vaporiser, but based on the information given in this article would definitely like to give it a go.
Never used one yet but have been thinking about it because my kids & i always get sick at the same time my kids dont like the idea o head over a bowl cover with towel so this would be awesome to try
Have used one many years ago when my nearly 18 year old had bronchitis on his first birthday but haven’t got one for my almost 1 year old and the way he is coughing and spluttering at night these past few night I am going to get one for him as the baby balm chest rub doesn’t seem to do much
I have not used one.
Yes have used the Vicks vaporizer with my little one it was great when he had bronchitis but had to borrow off a friend would love to win 1 for myself ☺
1st time Mum here lucky enough bub has not had a cold yet but would love to have this ready to handle our first cold!!
No I have not used a warm Steam Vaporizer before but certainly would like to use a Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer if I could.
No, we haven’t used one before but have been told the Vicks Vaporizer is a Godsend for babies with a cold
Use one every time the kids have a cough or sniffle bothering them (or myself) its the only way to go
I’ve never used one, but each time I’m in the chemist I see them and I want one. My bub and i have bad colds at the moment and I bet this works.
i have only used cool vaporisers
Glow dream – but this stopped working
And another I can’t remember the name but there wasn’t great access to clean the inside and it turned mouldy
Would love to get a new one With a 3 year old who brings home colds from kindy and passes to my 9 month old twins a vaporiser is always needed in this household
We use the Vick humidifier and it is wonderful when my little ones are conjested. It helps them get a better night’s sleep. However, we only have which makes it difficult when they are both sick. This Winter has been particularly bad.
I haven’t used one yet as my little boy is only three months one and we’ve been lucky that he hasn’t had a cold yet. But that right last forever and I’m dreading his first round of sniffles and hoping it’s not too severe!
I haven’t bought one yet but for 5 weeks I slept In a room with one and I never had blocked sinisus for all that time. I believe it would be good for my little one too.
I dont have a vaporiser, my mum used to have one when my sister was younger as she had asthma. My son was 8 weeks premature and suffers from croup and bronchiolitis at least 6 times a year, each time resulting in a hospital visit/ stay. We would love to win a vicks vaporiser pack. Thanks for the education around them.
Never used a vaporizer but use Vicks vapor rub all the time for big and little ill kids
Vicks
Would love to win this for my daughter who is due in a couple of weeks.
I have not used a Vaporizer, but my niece has a Vicks warm steam Vaporizer which is fantastic. Whenever I have a cold I breath in steam under a tea towel with Vicks Vapour Rub in hot water, so would love a Vaporizer for convenience and safety!
I have never used a Vicks vaporizer or any other vaporizer but would love to give it a go for my daughter. she has this cough at the moment at night that doesn’t seem to want to go.
I haven’t used one before but cant wait to try
no i havent but would love to try
No, I haven’t used a vaporizer before but we use Vicks Vapour Rub. I would love to give the Vicks Vaporizer a try.
I haven’t used this but with a 7 year old at school and a baby due soon this will be essential in winter. Everyone in our home loves Vicks and we WILL be getting one of these!
I am yet to try a vaporiser but am very curious to see how well they work! My baby boy has a terrible cold right now and would be great to have something to clear those little airways!!
I have not used one before
I haven’t used a vaporiser before, but being currently pregnant with my first bub, I have a feeling one of these might come in very handy!
Mine old vaporiser was a TAAV, I say was because it is no more
I need this for little Luka, always coming down with coughs and runny noses which inevitably ends up as asthma and a trip to hospital, be great to nip it in the bud early and keep him breathing comfortably.
Used one once, borrowed it from sister in law, when we all had head colds with blocked/runny noses. Worked a treat, it really did.
Have not used one before but would love to try it.
I have never tried a steam vaporiser. I think it’s what my 7 yr old needs. He has had sinus issues since his first birthday. We’ve tried nose sprays from the supermarket, and a steroid nose spray from a hospital doctor, but not a vaporiser or humidifier.
I have never used one but having a 2 week old daughter now I really want to get one so I can help relieve her when the inevitable sniffles come around
I use a vaporiser when my kids are sick with cold or flus, together with eucalyptus oil t fight off the bacteria. I find that the steam helps their breathing when they’re stuffed up and helps all of us to get a better night’s sleep!
I borrowed Mum’s Vicks Vaporizer when my youngest had a cold
I havent used one before
I have never used one but lately I’ve been in desperate need of one
We had a vicks vaporiser when I was growing up, it was used regularly as I had some serious breathing problems!
Never used one sadly
I’ve never own one before but would love to be able to have one for those times when bub gets sick.
I personally haven’t used one but I suffer from hayfever & allergies so am constantly suffering with a runny nose and I’m pregnant so I can’t take anything for it at the moment. I’m worried my little newborn will suffer with the same problems and think something like this would be perfect to help us both
I’ve never tried one but I have a 3 month old who will inevitably become ill one day and would love the Vicks one to help us out ❤️
I haven’t used one but have a bub on the way and have heard great things about these!
I had a Vicks Vaporiser 30 yrs ago as a kid to help ease allergy reactions. My baby currently has a runny nose and this would be perfect!
I have not used one but would love to try it
I haven’t used one before, how’re I’ve heard very positive reviews about them and would love to try one.
I have previously borrowed a Vicks vaporizer from a family member when my 3 sons were sick and have been saving to try and buy one to have on hand to help my little men breathe easier at night when they are sick.
Euky Bear vaporiser is the product we have been using the past 3 years.
It helps my daughters sinus & allergies.
I run it approx 6/8 months are year every evening to clear the air in her bedroom.
This time of the year is worse with extra sickness of cold & flu symptoms
Have never used 1 but i have been wabtibg 1 for my preemie baby. He is 8 weeks old and would live to have 1 for his room to help prevent any sickness
I probably haven’t used a vaporizer in nearly 20 years. It was essential for me as a child being an asthma sufferer and something I know I will use with my own children. Even just a short sniff of Vicks is warm, comforting and makes me feel better!
Never used one before. I’d love to give it a go.
Never used one but we really need it. We are all suffering with extreme congestion right now!
Havent used before. would love to…
No didn’t even know these existed before today so would love to give it a go
I have not used one before.
No, I haven’t used one before. I sure needed one over the last 2 Weeks with a wheezy cold. I would love one handy to use for future wheezy colds.
I haven’t tried one before, but my 4 year old grandson, Harry, keeps getting coughs and colds. I feel that this would be fantastic and enable him to breathe freely, which would make him a very happy little boy again.
I haven’t tried one before, but have always wanted to know if it makes a difference or not.
We have never used one as trying to work out what we need has been difficult. Thank you Vicks for explaining the difference betwen a vapouriser, humidifier and a diffuser.
I’ve nevet tried one before but being a first time mum and seeing my baby sick with the flu is heartbreaking. Would love to try this vaporiser so our family can all get a good night’s sleep.
Bought my first vaporiser 30 years ago.stopped many sleepless nights with sick kids and adults as well.I think its time I updated for safety reasons.every home needs a quality appliance like this.
I loved the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer i have when I had the worse flu ever, helped me sleep and cleared the blocked nose.. was only way i could sleep with it running
We have a Vicks one – for many years now. And lent it out to my stepdad when he was super ill. He fell in love with how effective it was. It would be nice to gift him one for fathers day.
Yes, I’ve had the benefit firsthand of using a Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer while staying with a friend in Victoria. Worked a treat!
I haven’t use one before but I desperately need one because we live in a mouldy house, we can hardly breath, the kids always have wizzy chest and everyone is coughing. I would love to have this opportunity to use and review this fantastic vaporize. Thank you.
I have used one before and it was brilliant, I don’t remember what brand it was I just remember it was brown. I found it worked really well when my kids had colds or bronchitis. I would love to win one for my 10 month old grandson.
Never used one but our neighbours have one and swear by it so it was on our list of things to get to help our son who suffers from asthma.
I have not used one before – but I drop a little Vicks into the bath before bed!
I remember using one when I was a little girl but I don’t have one for my family. Would be so good for winter season of coughs and bugs!
I’ve only used the old school water in a bucket with drops of eucolyptus in it
My mother has a Vicks Vapouriser for when she gets a cold and we used it recently when our daughter got sick and it really helped her with a good nights sleep.
I’ve never used one ever!
as a parent I’ve never used one, but after the winter we’ve just had with all 3 of us getting sick-I definitely need one!
I have never used one before just lots of vicks rub instead.
I haven’t used one before but i’d like to try it…my sister in law bought one a few months ago and she loves hers
I have only used the hand held steamer ( the one that you fill with warm water) and that was great but a real vaporiser would be amazing. I use the handheld steamer all the time.
I have used one before I can not remember the brand as it didn’t last for long ,we pulled it out when my son was unwell and worked well whilst it lasted.
I used one when I stayed with my mum in the UK, I think it was Vicks too and it was amazing! Helped my little girl so much! Would love to have one here to help us get through winter!
I have never used one. Would be good for my kids, and hubby.
I have not used a vaporizer before but would like to use it for my children as they often wake up with some congestion.
We have an older model TASAV vaporiser (only one I could find years ago) and use my VICK’s vapo-rub with it . Vick’s is a common staple in our house during the cold and flu months. Would love to upgrade to a VICK’s vaporiser . Everyone in the family uses the vaporiser as it sometimes is the only thing that can help get some rest !
We haven’t used one, but we so need one this winter
I have never used a Warm Steam Vapouriser before. Old school, breathe over a large basin with a towel over my head remedy used here. Would be so much easier with a Vicks Warm Steam Vapouriser.
We have used one for all three of our girls. But, my one is getting a bit old now!!! They help so much for snotty noses, coughs and congestion. Love ❤️ them.
I have never used a vaporiser or humidifier before. I do have a difuser and it is good for breathing in lemon and eucalyptus but it doesn’t help the blocked nose.
~ I also have never used a Warm Steam Vaporizer. ~
I have never used before either but very keen to
Never used one before, only Vicks on the chest!
We haven’t had one before but I think this is the winter to try one!
Can always trust Vicks. My mother-in-law still rubs it on her feet when she is sick. This seems a lot easier
We had one when I was young…. It was brown; it made nice smells…. That’s about the best I can do for ya, lol.
Never used one before but I have friends telling me it is really good and handy to have.
These are great for sick kids!
Yes I’ve used a Vicks vapouriser when my daughter was sick in the past. Would love to win one for my soon to be born sons bedroom!
Never used one before
Never used one before, but flying every two weeks makes me extremely susceptible to bugs
I have used Vicks Vaporizers for two years now, I wouldn’t use another brand. Vicks has been a known and trustworthy brand for as long as I can remember.
I haven’t used one before
I have never used a warm steam vaporiser but am keen to give one a go!
Never used one, but willing to give it a go
I had one of these and it lasted us YEARS and got us through many illnesses. Last winter it finally gave out and we are struggling this winter to get through without it! Would absolutely love and appreciate this SO much!
We did use a vaporizer once, but it was one of those cheap and nasty brands, not a Vicks of course… and it ended up actually vaporising both our kids… turned them into wispy little white clouds! On the plus side, they cost nothing to feed now, but on the down side, we can’t tell them apart anymore and they make a terrible mess on the couch when they cry. Apparently the only way to get them back to original human form will be to access a better quality vaporizer (like the Vicks you are offering in this competition), reverse the polarity of said vaporizer and blow our cloud-kids back out through it. Bottom line – I guess I’m hoping we win cos my wife is starting to miss the little vapours…
I have never had the opportunity to use one, but I have heard great things about them!
Yep, I’ve used Vapo Steam – Such a soothing feel and is my go to when things get too stuffy 🙂
We always use our Vick’s vaporiser but it is old now, so we have it for the youngsters for croup ans it’s marvelous for this.It does settle them.
Have used and Love, Love, Love the Vicks vaporiser, not only for the kids but got my older parents onto it too!
Never used it before and would love to win one for my son.
I haven’t used one before, but I wish that I had. It sounds like it would have helped so much on the multiple occasions when colds ravaged through our household and wreaked havoc. It has been constant sickness for us this winter.
I’ve never used one but I think it sounds like it could do wonders for my asthma and hayfever!
We borrowed a warm steam vaporiser from friends when our son had his first cold. It was a total life saver, thankfully he hasn’t had a cold since then but would love to have one of these on backup for when he does inevitably get sick again!
Forgot to mention – it was vicks brand
I have never used a warm steamer but did used my neighbours and I did think it was better than my cool steamer. More effective and quieter.
I havent used one before
No I haven’t used one before, but everyone is talking g about them so I think I’ll be checking them out very soon
No we uuse old school method bowl,,of hot water with a teaspoon of Vivek & towel over our head .This be so much easier .
we use a dab of Vicks on each side of the neck
I have used a Taav vapoouriser – my poor old thing had it for years & years – used it when kids were all stuffed up with colds
The grandparents have one that they use for the kids when they are unwell and it always seems to make them feel better.
I’ve used a vaporizer before for my little one when he was all blocked up and coughing a lot.
We regularly used the Vick’s vapourizer for when our son had croup. I also have an Aroma Bloom but use that more for the pretty night light.
i have not used a vapouriser before but have heard positives about them
yes i have it was great for my 1yr old with the flu it was a older style vaporizer but it really helped
I’ve never used a vaporizer, but I really should start as I’m very much affected by the change of seasons where my asthma flares up and my chest infections start.
No, I haven’t used one before, but know it helps my sister’s kids.
We have never used one but have often thought we have needed one
Yes, we have used a Vicks vaporiser at home (model from 4 years ago) previously when our 1year old Son developed an incredibly serious virus and cough and he was admitted to hospital where he spent many days on oxygen and many different types of medications to assist him. The vaporiser and Vapo Steam is absolutely magical and we swear by it. A truly sensational product !
I’ve never used either before but I would love to give them a try this cold and flu season! Especially with a baby in the way – can’t afford to get sick or have sick kids!
I’ve never used one before but have always liked to as they seem fantastic for little ones. Also Vicks is a brand I trust and love for all my family members.
I haven’t used one before.
i’ve never used one before, I have heard great things about them and would love to be able to have that on hand to protect my little ones!
I haven’t tried one before, but after reading your write up about it, really makes me want to.
I haven’t tried but have heard wonderful reviews.
Have only used the steaming up the bathroom method. This looks much easier and has the bonus of the Vicks factor.
Ive never used a warm steam vaporiser before but it sounds great!
Never used one before but Id love to try it for my son, it might help his asthma as it gets pretty bad when hes sick
Never used one either, but have heard amazing things about them!
I’ve never used one, would love to try one!
We were using a vaporiser all the time in winter,
even when the children aren’t sick,
it helps keep the air warm and fresh,
to prevent sickness.
Not used before
Used a hand me down one. Cannot remember brand but always used when kids were little and had colds and weren’t breathing well without one in bedroom. Great help especially with kids with childhood asthma.
I have never used one but would love to especially during this yucky season
Have used one since the kids were born! They are brilliant!! Can’t remember the brand but it’s green…lasted 8 years! Pretty stoked with that. Best invention!! 🙂
I wish we had one! Have been hit hard this year
I have not used one before.
Have not used before
Not used one but have been meaning to get one for a while! Looks awesome!
WE have an older Vick vaporiser but have not used a warm vaporiser. Thank you
I have not used a vapouriser before but I’ve heard from close friends it’s a must have during the cold & flu season.
Never used one before – the nearest I’ve ever come is a hot bowl of water, Vick’s vapourub and a towel
I have used the Vicks Warm Steam before when my son was having breathing issues at night with a cold. It was fantastic! Leant it to a friend and it never came back!
Yes! I borrowed my sisters for a week while my daughter was sick. They are wonderful. It really did help her breathe easier. My fingers are very much crossed. Thank you for the chance to win.
I have only used the vicks in the little tubs. Ever since i was little (now 28 yrs old) and all i can remember is my mum using it on my bothers and myself on our chests, back, just before we got sick or when we were sick she use to put it just below our nose above our top lip just so we could breath it in. And works wonders!!I now have a 5 month old and would love to use that amazing vaporizer on my little one as i live in canberra and ITS ALWAYS COLD plus everyone is sick with a cold etc and having my first little one im always paranoid and trying to prevent him from getting sick. THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!!!
No, but I would love to try it!
I haven’t tried one would but would to when my kids suffer winter colds. I love that this is a natural way of healing and promote health. This would be a much used product to assist recovery!
I haven’t used one but I have used hot water with vicks in a bowl and put a hot towel over my head.
I have never used one before but with asthma running in the family and cold season upon us, it would certainly help keeping us healthy!
I’ve never used one before, but would love to give it a whirl. Would be perfect for the worsened asthma and croup that lurks in the cooler months.
I’ve never used one but I remember my mum having a vaporizer for us as kids but I cant recall the name, I still grave that vicks scent when I’m feeling unwell
I have never used a Vaporizer before
Not yet but would love to see the benefits of it
I hired a vaporiser when my son was little because he was forever getting colds and bronchitis ,never had to use one with my Daughter until this year borrowing from a friend after her ongoing bronchitis battle ,it helped her a lot !
I haven’t used a warm steam vaporiser yet but would love to. I suffer with Sinusitis chronically as I have my air-con on cold 98% of the time, even Winter on cold, as my body’s thermostat doesn’t regulate my temperature. And a warm Vicks steam vaporising treatment would be the perfect ‘bestie’ for me.
The Vicks vaporiser. All of my kids had chest infections, and this helped them breathe easier and actually get some sleep at night.
I Have only used a humidifier but found it did mildew the ceiling. I used for for both kids and adults to help with their colds and asthma
I have never received one but recently suffered and spent two nights in ICU with asthma so I am sure this would help me and my baby in the future 🙂
I have never used one but I desperately need one. My little girl is coming down with a cold and is 11 months old.
Never used one before, with 4 kids I probably should of gotten one by now
When our beloved pet rats have respiratory infections, we borrow a friend’s Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer. Keeping it alongside their cage, it comforts us knowing we are easing their suffering. We wish we could have one for ourselves please 🙂
Have never used once but definitely will in the future after reading this review!
I haven’t used one but my daughter has one and swears by it !
I have used one when both the kids and I were terribly unwell. Works wonders when you’re congested and can’t breathe!
I havent tried any but would love to try them all
We have never used a humidifier before. We silently suffer through the winter months. This would help our growing family immensely!
Havent tried a steamer as yet, we have a diffuser which seems to help a little
I used to do the old candle diffuser but bubba would always blow it out like it was his birthday so it wouldn’t last long and was a little unsafe when he would try reach and grab it so would only work whilst he wasn’t in the room
Never used one but i think would really help kiddos asthma
Never used anything like this before, but being our first winter with bubs we are on the hunt for what to use!
We haven’t used one but would like to try
i’ve never had to use one for my daughter, as she’s yet to have a cold (thankfully!!) but it’ll definitely be something i’d look at going forward!
I have used vicks products my whole life and have the vaporizer. With 6 kids, this pack would be fantastic. No more taking turns sitting near it when two or more have a cold. Vicks products are fantastic!
I’ve never used one and suffered through winter with baby having congestion and flu, it was the worst few weeks. This would’ve helped a lot with some of the symptoms. Would love to give it a whirl.
We use the Euky bear vaporiser. I also have a Scentsy diffuser. Would love to win the Vicks one to try
I havent used one before. However i am thinking of getting one for my little ones room as she is clogged up at the moment and fess & vapour rub on just isnt enough.
When I was a child and suffering from a cold, my mother would make a steam bath using a plastic basin, hot water, Vicks Vapour Rub spooned in, and a towel over my head. I’d have to sit there carefully at the kitchen table for 10 minutes. Now decades on, I can’t say I’ve used a powered steam diffuser so this would definitely come in handy.
I’ve never used a vaporizer before but I’d love to try one with my 1 year old. He’s going to daycare and bringing viruses home with him and I’d like him to be more comfortable at night when he’s sick.
No
I haven’t used one
I have never used a warm steam vaporizer before but would love to give one a go. I have heard they are really good for you!
I’ve never used a Vicks Vaporiser before but would love to try one!
Only the old fashioned vicks in a bowl of hot water. Heard good things about the vaporisers though.
I use a Vicks Steam Vaporizer whenever anyone feels a cold coming on, makes sleeping so much easier!
Only as a child,
When my colds were wild!
Will be great for man flu,
As I don’t need hubby (when we have bub) to feel blue!
No we haven’t used one before but really keen to try
I have not used one before but think it is a great idea
I have never used one but would love the opportunity
No but it’s been recommended to me by my baby nurse.
I haven’t but I’m keen to give it a go.
I have never tried one, but I am 4months pregnant and would love the benefits for me and my new baby!
I have never used a vaporizer before!
I’ve never used a warm vaporizer before but after reading this article, I want to ASAP! Vicks is inspiring for sure.
Never tried one, but would love to, especially at this time of year!
I have an air purifier. Never tried a vaporizer.
I have had the vicks vaporizer before and it has worked absolute wonders for my children when they have been sick, unfortunately it got broken in our last move and I havent got around to purchasing a new one.
This prize would be amazing for my new little family
Can’t remember brand name but have used it to relieve congestion. Helps my little one sleep better at night. I moved it to the lounge during the day which helped both of us breathe better. Unfortunately, there’s no auto cut off.
Never tried one but I’ve been looking
No, I have never used one.
No I haven’t used one before but my little boy really needs one to stop him coughing at night.
No never! But I would love to as both myself and my daughter have health issues that cause horrible congestion
I used one years ago, for my kids, I think it was Eukybear or something like that. It would be good to have one of these for my school age kids, who tend to catch colds from school especially in Melbourne’s long cold winter.
No. I have never tried one but would love to in the future!
never used one – would love to try!
I have not used one yet
I have used a Vicks vaporiser for when my kids have had bad colds and been really blocked up. Unfortunately I broke it!
I’ve got a really really old Vicks one that we pull out and pray still works,
I have never used one before but I would love to try. With my kids sleeping in the same bed they seem to pass colds back and fourth. This would be great thanks
Never used one
Love the safety aspect of VICKS Warm Steam Vapourizer. Have never used one but it would be wonderful to have to help ease the symptoms of sniffly, snuffly, chesty colds and bronchitis.
We have used many before but found vicks to be the best. We have asthma children so we love them!
We had one years ago when we only had 2 children it was a fantastic investment. Somehow was lost when we moved house. Now we are expecting our 5th child and winter time has proven some little colds and coughs in our household this would be a great win for all of us to benefit from.
I use my old Vicks vaporiser for my two boys!! Love it.
Whoops! We use it for chesty and nasally colds! And the smell in general for me!
I haven’t tried one but would love to!
Don’t have one and we are so sick at the moment so think it would be great to have one.
I borrowed a Vicks Vaporizer from my sister in law when my little one was sick. It was amazing! Would love to win one of our own!
We’ve used one many years ago that you could hire from chemists. More recently I’ve resorted to putting vicks into some boiling water in the room – not quite the same and definitely not the same effect! Would love to win one to share with family and friends for when those winter sniffles attack! Vicks is still our go-to product
A long time ago. Cant remember the name but would love to try it again
Have a very old steamer that is around 26 years old, not tried a vaporizer before
no,I havent used one before but sure need one now,im suffering a real bad case of flu this would be a must have in my household of myslelf and 2 children who catch everything at chool
I’ve had a horrible flu during this pregnancy and have been trying to get my hands on one of these the last two months but all chemists local are out of stock
I have used a Vicks Vaporiser previously to help with my daughter’s cough. Unfortunately hubby put it away in the cupboard before leaving it to completely dry and it never worked again. Now we have a new bub and I would love to have one on hand should he ever need it.
I have a Vicks Vaporiser and have used it every night in winter for my baby. Is helped keep the cough at bay, clear his runny nose and he sleeps awesome! Love it
I used my sister’s euky bear vaporiser when I was visiting her this winter and my son became sick
My friend borrowed me their Vicks Vaporiser and loved it and would be great to have one of my own especially with this flu going around.
No I haven’t
We haven’t used one either, but how I love the smell of Vicks.
Mum used to put a vapouriser on for us when we were little as both my sister and I suffered from respiratory issues. I have not used one since but I am sure it will come in handy with bubs on the way.
No, unfortunately I haven’t used one before.
We have one that’s a bit old and messy we use to vaporise Vicks when we get the winter sniffles
I used a vaporiser when my twins were young as they were premature and 1 has chronic lung disease. It broke after a few years and i cannot afford to buy another one but it was fantastic. I added bosistios eucalyptus to it and the house smelt great.
Would love to win as I have never used one before
Having always used the Vicks vaporiser. My whole family use it when the flu hits!! Its just great to clear the had and nose and helps us breathe easier at night.
Have never used one before, but have seen one in action.Very impressed with how it works. My grandchildren come from the city to spend time with us in the country but the weather is so cold for them here. They tend to catch the sniffles easy. Would love to have a vaporizer here for them to use, making their visit enjoyable while breathing easy.
I have never used a warm steam vaporiser. I can certainly see the benefits though.
My mum had one of the older style ones when I was young, it was great, and I’d love to try one with my girls (and me)
No I have not used one yet. But would love to try one.
I have never used a warm steam steriliser though. What a great idea. We do love the regular steam sterilisers though.
we bought a vicks one for mum a few years ago and we keep on borrowing it…!
Vaporisers have truly an amazing medical product to relieve cough, cold and flu symptoms without harsh chemicals. It has been recommend by many healthcare professionals as my friends are medical professionals, My both autistic children don’t like medication and Vaporisers have brilliant solutions bringing maximum comfort for my family, This new Vaporisers VS Humidifiers have many positive reviews on the websites because it has the best safety designed for younger children or elderly people. I would love to own it.
I borrowed one and it was great in our dry perth climate. Would love to have one of my own,
We have never tried a vaporiser, sounds like it would be very useful in our home.
I remember they are miracle workers for cold and flu but it’s been a few years since I owned one.
I’ve never used one before!!
I’ve used a diffuser before but never a vaporiser. Vicks get rubbed on the soles of the feet here.
I’ve never used one.
I have never used one for my kids or for myself I have always wished I had one so the kids and I could get better sleep when unwell
I always use my diffuser but I think for the heavier eucalyptus type oils, a vaporiser would be much better.
No I haven’t used a Vicks warm steam vaporiser before. I have been interested in doing so as my daughter, even though she is not a young child anymore, still has trouble with blocked sinuses which causes her pain and headaches.
I have used a generic vapouriser before, very low tech, but workec well, with the reputation of Vicks i am sure this product combination would breathe ckkarity to my congestion
I’ve used the Vicks Vapouriser for my young son previously and was pretty happy with it. Then it died so I thought I’d try the Aroma Bloom cool mist humidifier. It’s nice for scenting the air but honestly I don’t think it helps anywhere near as much as the Vicks warm mist one did. I would love to get a Vicks one again.
Sorry I have not used one
I have 2 small children who are quite prone to colds. My oldest son has a hearing impairment and it is quite important to avoid ear infections as they can possibly cause increased hearing loss.
I think that this vapouriser would aid him in avoiding severe issues caused by colds
i have never used one before but have been told by some of my friends with kids that they are amazing and a must have!
We used a Euky Bear one with my oldest a few years ago. Would love one for my youngest!
Yes Have always used one but it broke last year so need another. last one was eukybear brand. Vaporisers are the only things that work for kids with colds.
I use a old Vick vaporiser that my mum used with us kids and now I use it on my own kids
Childhood memories of having a cold are of Mum rubbing Vicks on my chest and dragging out an ancient warm steam vaporizer for next to my bed. I tried replicating the same with my own kiddies but I’ve been using a humidifier. Thrilled to have read this article to learn the difference! Plus adding the water soluble Vicks to the vaporizer as a bonus diffuser is a brilliant idea!
I have never used one but would really love to win. It would be great for my asthma and sleep issues
I had a Vapouriser for my children many years ago (too many to remember the brand), and I would love to win this Vicks vapouriser for my grandchildren who both have hacking coughs and stuffy noses.
I haven’t used one, but it’s on my fingers crossed I can get one soon list.
Used a Euky Bear for the dry winter cold and air-conditioning drying out our skin.
I’d like to be prepared for the good and the bad of parenting… I haven’t used a Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer before but am sure it will be valuable in the coming years with Number One due in October! Vicks certainly worked for me as a child!!!
I’ve used an old style Vicks one for many years which was amazing. It has had it’s day but would love a new one!
I’ve never tried a proper vaporizer – the most I’ve done is cleared my sinuses with a hot shower or had my head over a bowl steaming hot water with a towel over my head. I suspect a vaporizer would be much more preferable though… Haha.
With 7 boys I’ve used 2 different types over the past 22 years,, I can’t remember the 1st one I ever used but it was brown and beige colour. I think the second one was a eukybear one. There’s always one that’s prone to winter colds and croup.
I have never used a vaporiser before but know how effective Vicks products are.
I have never used one but I could sure do with one.
I’ve used the pictured vaporizer at my parents and sister house for my niece and nephew when there asthma is flared up makes such a difference other machines tried have left excess moisture in the additional. Definitely need one for my house with a baby on the way
I have never used one before but would love to win it!
I’ve never used one but I would love to give it a go!
I have never used a steam vaporizer before but I would definitely benefit from one!
A few years ago I bought one after doing a lot of research. I can’t remember the brand. It worked well for a couple of times and was great for my stuffed up head however it simply stopped working. I returned it and obtained a replacement however it conked out after a couple of uses as well. I returned it for a refund and have not replaced it. My daughter purchased one for her baby’s bedroom and it has worked well. I’d love to try the Vick’s Vaporizer.
I have used a cheap eBay one which was pointless. Would love to give a good one a chance
I haven’t used either 🙁
I’ve never used a Vaporiser before, but when I was a child, Mum would put some Vicks in hot water and have me inhale it to ease my sinuses during a cold!
No I have never used one
We use a warm vaporizer and also when i was a child. Every winter we use it for the lovely colds and im currently using it in the pregnancy to clear the head! The brand we currenly use is TAVV
No I haven’t used one ever before. I’m pregnant and I’m very interested in using it with my baby.
I have not used a vaporizer… we do have a Vicks humidifier though which is fantastic. Would love to test out the vaporizer too
I have never used a vaporiser before but it would come in very handy for those times when you have a blocked nose, etc.
There are so many options on the market that I haven’t yet tried one – I have heard rave reviews about the Vicks one, though!
I have borrowed a friends Vicks vaporizer in the past when my son had bronchitis. It worked amazingly well, and the smell it produced in the house was soothing.
We have a Vicks Vapouriser that we use in my older sons room pretty much every night during winter to help ease his cold/asthma symptoms for a good nights sleep, but when my younger son also got sick this year it was a case of ‘who needed it more’ as we only had the one. A second Vapouriser would definately be well used and appreciated.
I’ve never used one but I think they are a great idea
We had one 7 years ago. We loved it but it broke and we haven’t replaced it but are keen for another go!
Borrowed Vicks warm steam vaporiser and it worked well with colds.
Vicks vaporiser works the best and we would like one for our room as the one we have is used predominantly in our son’s room.
I would love to win this as I am yet to try a vaporiser. I am currently freezing Vicks and water into ice trays and using a few cubes in the shower to help with little miss 4 month old. Although it works great, it’s a hassle to only be able to relieve her in the shower!
Have never used a warm steam vaporiser before, but would have been very helpful after the last cold given you can’t take cold and flu tablets while pregnant!
We have used a warm steam vaporiser for both of our daughters over the last four years whenever they are unwell or unsettled, and we also used it nightly for my elderly grandfather when he was suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. I’m about to have baby number 3 and our vaporiser is only working intermittently, so a replacement would be very handy!
These are amazing. I even use in my room when I have a cold – well that was until it got lost in our move.
Ps it was a Vicks Vaporiser. Can’t beat Vicks
We have never used a warm steam humidifier but would love to try one, my daughter has asthma so I would be interested to see if it has any positive effects on that
We have never used a warm steam vaporiser before, but this will be extremely helpful throughout the year to prevent colds, flus and unsettled stomachs for the family.
I have never used a warm steam humidifier, yet, but would love to try one. My daughter gets croup and I’ve just recovered from pneumonia, so a little help in our household from Vicks, would be fabulous!
Between My wife and I and the three kids, at least one of us is normally suffering from the sniffles, so this would be a great help.
My family went on holidays with my sister’s family. My sister took her Vicks Vaporiser on holidays with her. To be honest, i thought that was a little eccentric at the time, UNTIL…..my kids caught a nasty cold while we were away. I borrowed the Vaporiser and it made such a difference to the amount of coughing we were all subjected too, not to mention, making the nights just that little bit more comfortable for my wee little ones.
I’ve used the Vicks Vaporiser pictured. We have used it for years and then it finally died, we have been missing the benefits of it!
I haven’t used a vaporizer before, but I am interested in giving it a go.
Never used one yet, would be useful when my kids get nasal congestion.
I’ve never used one, a lady at Kinder drop off was talking about she has one and the kids don’t seem to hold onto their colds as long.
We’ve used one on both our kids. Only been able to borrow one so would love to actually own one to use long term!
We have used the vaporiser for our kids when they have colds and for allergies. Works great!
I’ve only used a humidifier and it didn’t work that well id love to try a vaporiser for my kids asthma, ezcema and to make the room free of germs
I have never used one before.
Would love this as our family have ashma and sinus challenges THANKYOU
I never used a proper one before, my husband gave himself a bad burn trying a home made one!
Yes i have used steam vaporizers before, all the time as a kid with my croup, even remember hanging over the sink filled with hot hot water covered by a towel to breathe. Now my 2 little ones are lucky enough to have diagnosed and appearing symptoms of asthma, so we constantly use my old vaporiser (at least 20 yrs old) during the winter and thunderstormy spring. Would love to upgrade as sometimes i wonder if the age of vaporisee is doing more damage.
UNFORTUNATELY WE have Never used or bought a vaporizer, but plenty of vicks chest rubs over the years. Our $$$ have always cost us dearly in chemists, especially between June and September. With my daughter getting regular tonsillitis and hubby suffering from hey fever and cold symptoms.
No never.
No but after reading about it I am not sure why not – Have used vicks rubs before and believe in the quality products they produce
No, I’ve never used one.
I’ve never used a vaporizer before, but I have been a long time user of Vicks vaporub – best thing to help clear the airways which is vital when you’re a singer. Definitely the best thing used for all loved ones when they’re yuck and congested.
We haven’t used one before but have been super keen to try one when my sons asthma gets bad.
I haven’t used a vaporizer at all. My daughter has one and loves it. I am sure my daughter-in-law would love to have one in her house to help her baby’s breathing in Winter and help keep the air fresh in her room. We have always used Vicks when our children were little.
We have never used a vaporizer. I do believe though it would help my son’s congested snuffles.
I used to use a vaporiser when my kids were little but that is so long ago I can’t remember the brand. it used to really help when they had colds. This would be great for the grand-kids
Unfortunately, I’ve never used a vaporiser but have wanted too. Tonight would have been perfect – 2 sick kids who I have had in a steamed bathroom and who have gone to bed with Vicks on the soles of their feet and chest.
I used a Vicks Vaporiser with my first child and it was amazing! A friend recommended it and it really helped with easing my little bubs cold.
I have had ASTHMA my whole life but about 7 years ago my asthma got so bad and was diagnosed of EMPHYSEMA/COPD which was most likely due to the asthma. I was on double antibiotics and steroids, still didn’t feel any better. My lungs were constantly wheezing in all four chambers, i already used Advair, Spiriva, and Albuterol in my nebulizer, they just didn’t do much. April 2016 my sister in-law told us about Rich Herbs Foundation where she ordered herbs that effectively treated her arthritis. We ordered their COPD herbal treatment after reading alot of positive reviews, i am happy to report this COPD herbal treatment reversed my lungs condition. My quality of life has greatly improved and every one of my symptoms including difficulty breathing and wheezing are gone. Their official web page is ww w. richherbsfoundation. c om. I will be 52 soon and have never been healthier!
