For Nasal Congestion "Afrin bottle is absolutely rubbish! I shouldn’t have to make my hand bleed and not be able to breathe just to open a stupid bottle! I only used the product maybe three times, and it practically locks. Five or so YouTube videos later, and I still haven’t opened it. Never buying Afrin again!"

For Nasal Congestion "Works, but I guess I used it too often, and it made my nose bleed badly. The child-proof cap is terribly designed and obviously not tested beforehand. I had to use pliers to open the bottle, and that still took time. I'm looking for another brand because of this."

For Nasal Congestion "I ordered two nasal sprays from Walmart. They substituted one of my originals with an Afrin, so I thought I would try it. Within 30 seconds of using it, my nose started to bleed, very concerning. About an hour later, I used my Equate nasal mist, which is what I normally use, and with absolutely no issues, so I'm returning the Afrin to Walmart."
