I am LIVING for the “weird” spoonie products!! Your review of the little neck brace convinced me to give it a try and it has helped me out. I personally don’t use a nebulizer everyday; but I can totally see how this product can be much more convenient, and certainly a lot more quiet!
What a fabulously thorough yet entertaining review, Christina! You tipped the scales on my decision, and I just now ordered a Flyp. I am looking forward to the super-quiet operation. I also had no idea that "faster" was even an option--BONUS! Great tip on the eye dropper on Amazon--bought one of those too! I actually initially cringed at first when I saw your video was 28:16, but you perfectly jam-packed it with all the important stuff--watch it all the way to the end--so worth it! Rock on Christina, rock on! Blessing to you!
trheres another very similar product im in uk idk if its in the usa its a teeny square nebuliser and it comes with the option of a mouth piece or a mask you can use a mask with it i know someone who does and its also very very teeny it costs just under 50 pound which is pretty cheap its called Med-Fit Micro-Neb Rechargeable Mesh Nebuliser i havent used it the person i know who does has finds t very very good
Thank you for such an in depth review! I'm so tired of being tied to my nebulizer, and missing 3 of my 4 treatments in a day because of the inconvenience of the plug-in nebulizer! I saw this, and your review has really helped me decide to go ahead and buy the flyp. My question though, I understand you have distilled water to clean the reservoir, however, how do you clean the mouthpiece while in the car? Thank you again! I wonder if your code still works?
Thank you for reviewing this device. Mama asked me to check out portable nebulizers for her. She and I have different breathing issues. Yours is the only review that's covered use, cleaning, pros and cons. You literally covered every question I had but one so I am very pleased and happily subscribed.
So proud of you with your key notes on reading all the instructions and care, sterilisation and cleaning instructions. Does it give you indication of battery life or number of uses based on a single charge? (I mean stated anywhere, rather than just u experimenting) xx Would love to know how you feel about the LED light in terms of your vision and headaches.... Was it irritating at full charge light intensity?
Thank you! I wanted to make sure to cover all the points that I want to know when making a purchase.... especially an expensive one! The light flashes while you charge it and goes solid and then off when its charged. Unfortunately that is it. It doesn’t warn you when It gets low, so I usually just plus it in at night when I plug my phone in. The blue light really wasn’t an issue. It’s pretty much below eye level when in use and well... it makes it look kinda futuristic which I kinda love 😂
I'm working on my doctorate in nursing, and I LOVE your videos on "spoonie" products. I'm so happy to hear realistic reviews on really practical, helpful products for people with chronic illnesses/pain. :) By the way, even if I didn't have an interest in healthcare, I would watch your vlogs. Your personality and interests (crafting/reading/broadway) are so engaging; plus, seeing the way your family loves each other makes my heart all warm and fuzzy!!!! Sending prayers and love from Florida, girl!
We had a travel sized nebulizer about 10 years ago, and it did the trick more often than not. It would leak if you didn't hold it totally upright (reservoir was at the top of the machine). I still think the full machines do a better job, but the small devices are very handy for times when you can't get regular electricity easily. The full machines are a lot smaller than they used to be so that's handy too.
Bought the Flyp and it's so convenient for travel. The big pluses were how quiet it is and how fast it administered the medicine. No tubes to have to deal with...I love it. But, I'm still keeping my old big nebulizer for home...simply because I feel it gets the medicine to your lungs better. Thank you for the review.
My Dad used a nebulizer and I remember how LOUD that it was. It scared the dog every time he had to do a treatment. Something like this would have been really helpful to have. Does this one require more cleaning than your old model?
This is the best review ever... Part of my issues with the lupus and possible EDS is having severe allergic triggered asthma and I'm always on the go when I have a flare and inhalers just don't cut it. This will help wonders!
Yea first person This is going to be such a life saver I’ve been needing a travel nebulizer for a couple years since mine broke and insurance wouldn’t replace it Also check with your pharmacy about replacing your nebtubing I got mine the same place as my regular RX meds just need a script And they are a lot better quality and don’t kink
Just got a Flyp about 3 weeks ago because I have to take DuoNeb 4x per day... so annoying. Flyp is ok. There are some annoying aspects. Sometimes you have to flick the back so that the condensation goes away so that it has a steady stream of medication flowing again. The battery doesn't last as long as they say and it's annoying to clean. A huge plus is how light and small it is. I can easily fit it in my (small) purse with a couple vials of meds and be ready to go. Honestly, I prefer my clunky nebulizer that delivers slower and so does my pulmonologist. But with the 8 nebs I have to do per day, the minutes really add up! Netflix is a life-saver, I can tell you that.
I think that's the next step my pulmonologist wants to take to get me back on inhalers rather than nebs. I normally take inhalers and nebs as needed but I caught an infection a few months ago that I haven't been able to recover from. Hopefully I will be weaning off nebs soon so I can have my life back lol.
Yeah, that's what I was hoping. Get on an inhaler (or two) and then just use portable albuterol nebs as needed. I really prefer albuterol nebulized, as opposed to from an inhaler, so it'll be nice to have the Flyp to use for that when all of this is over.
I got my nebulizer machine free from my Doctor, so check with them for a regular run of the mill nebulizer machine. But as for the flyp I'd definately buy it if I had the money.
These travel type nebulisers do seem to be a lot cheaper in the UK.....the lloyds pharmacy one looks kind of like this but includes the mouth piece this has, an adult face mask and a kids face mask included and is £110 -_- America seems to make all medical equipment too expensive.
unfortunately the medical field is just considered a business here, nothing more then that. they don't care about anything other then the money they can bring in.
Happy to see you seem to be doing well! I enjoyed this video a lot! I sometimes suffer from a bit of asthma, and it sometimes requires a nebulizer. Hopefully one day I can try this out! Also, I love the color on your nails! What color/brand is it? I really love it! I hope you continue to get well, lots of love and well wishes! 🖤
In the video you say I am going to plug this in and you put a plug into the Flyp, but you did not show where you put the other end . Where? And what do you need an I Phone for?
It depends on the medicine you put in the nebulizer. An inhaler is usually albuterol for asthma attacks so it is quick acting. I use my nebulizer for different medicine for allergy prevention or albuterol that just keeps me from having an asthma attack.
That's awesome. I have the same neb as your old one. Been looking for a portable. Can't afford this one but definitely will add to my wish list. Thanks for sharing :) I did wonder how it would go with your jaw. Also, how do your arms go holding it up? For me I definitely need one with a hands free and mask option. Thank you for taking the time to do this review :)
I found I could actually hold it in my mouth without my arms if need be, but that wasn’t the best jaw move. Sometimes I bend my knee up (thanks EDS) and rest it on my knee as my arms do get a bit tired, but it’s only 5 mins or so and resting them on a good pillow helps.
Awesome review, thank you! Girl, I can’t believe your main unit takes 15 minutes to give you the full dose of Cromolyn! Yikes! It might be time to have insurance replace yours. And no, insurance does NOT pay for portable nebs. My portable Pari only gives me 3 treatments when it states it goes for an hour per charge. (Which means mine is dieing within 10 minutes.). Not a good one I must say. I’m going to look into the Flyp! :)
i use a Nebulizer 3 times for emphysema and I HATE the loud Nebulizer to the point stopped using without my doctor permission this flyp portable Nebulizer might be the answer to me minding my doctor's orders again
May i ask where you got the mask for your face??? The one in your profilepic. I just have the ones to throw out after using once. Dont know how to call it in english. The mask to Ccover nose and mouth.
@@IveGotItTwisted thank you very much. Big thanks. You helped me a lot. I have to wear one.Im afraid to do so in public. In Germany you see nobody with a mask.
Hi this is what I’ve been looking for problem it’s 190 dollars very expensive where do I get a promo code ?? Or can I speak with someone on discount ?? I have copd very bad the person said they don’t take injurance just out of pocket payments 🤮😂🤔😞😞😞😭😱😱🥺👎👁🧠🖕🏿🧜🏻♂️🧞♂️
Michael Smith worth every dime man honestly its a absolute game changer for me i hope you find a way to get yourself one. id recvomend to anyone its a absolute blessing.
Great product. Absolutely retarded price. I'm sorry, but that's just greedy. I was going to say if the charge allowing just two treatments is a problem, you could get a second one to have on hand (if they hold the charge well enough) but NEVERMIND. I THINK $200 is a huge rip off. It's infuriating. Yeah, portability is nice, but not that nice. You know there are adapters to use a normal electrical device in the car via cigarette lighter port or usb. Glad you got a free Flyp, though, Christina, 😎 'cause it has made your life easier and not cost you an arm and a lung. I'd say they better get off their high horse and bring down the price, b/c I know insurance companies won't pay for it.
I am LIVING for the “weird” spoonie products!! Your review of the little neck brace convinced me to give it a try and it has helped me out. I personally don’t use a nebulizer everyday; but I can totally see how this product can be much more convenient, and certainly a lot more quiet!
hands down the most in depth demonstration I have watched. thank you so much! it's super soothing to listen to you explain everything.

@@mackgdr spiriva has been as good a duo nebs for me. I have portable nebulizer. Fits in a lunch box. Can still do abuterol nebs with spiriva.

What is the difference between a nebulizer and an inhaler
It depends on the medicine you put in the nebulizer. An inhaler is usually albuterol for asthma attacks so it is quick acting. I use my nebulizer for different medicine for allergy prevention or albuterol that just keeps me from having an asthma attack.
Hey! I have a question: What is the difference between getting your asthma medicine inhaled through an inhaler and inhaling it through a nebulizer?
That's awesome. I have the same neb as your old one. Been looking for a portable. Can't afford this one but definitely will add to my wish list. Thanks for sharing :)

i checked their website and they do have mask adapter for it now, so you can use it with a mask
What are those things on ur hands are they rings or part of ur treatment they look sooo cool
Mileth GG they are splints to stabilise the joints - prevents them overextending etc.
There’s a link in the description for finger splints.
What! That’s cool!
Love these videos, very cool
Thanks for the info !!!!!
I sooooo need one!
I have a question, have you heard of the cusack protocol?
I use a combination of ipratropium and albuterol when taking a treatment. Is the reservoir big enough to hold 2 ampules of medicine?
ilaquino56 No, the Reservoir only holds up to one ampule per treatment.
discount dose not work lovely but im still interested in it so thank you

Bridget O'Brate yeah me too, it asks to login :/
Very thorough review, Christina! Can you tell me about your rings. Are some of them braces for your finger joints?
They're all ring splints from the silver ring splint company I believe. She linked them in a recent video 😊

seems a little tooo sensitive for the normal use.
build a mask or an adapter for your existing one
