I can understand why you would think it's gross, but honestly, if you are prone to sinus infections or allergies, this is a life saver!
I have one and use it off and on all the time. Love it!
BTW - you can make your own solution mixing salt with baking soda.
The recipe:
~ Carefully clean and rinse a 1-quart jar. Fill the clean jar with tap water or bottled water. You do not need to boil the water.
~ Add one level teaspoon of
non-iodized (”pickling”) salt.
DO NOT use table salt. Table salt has unwanted additives. You can ask for pickling salt at the grocery store.
~ Add one level teaspoon of baking soda (pure bicarbonate).
~ Stir or shake before each use. Store at room temperature.
After one week pour out any mixture that is left over and make a new recipe.
