One minor tweak and it works fine!!

Works perfectly once you realize the tubes are assembled backwards. When we first got this I was very disappointed. We had a similar type aspirator that we loved, but was unfortunately destroyed by the dogs. In researching for a new one I came across this one that seemed to have a concept with two hoses and a bulb for collecting the mucus, plus it came with extra tips which is what the dogs always seem to chew up first. So I decided to give it a try. The first several times we used it on our sick 2 year old we noticed the snot coming back up the tube that goes in out mouth, and at least once, we each had it make it all the way without us noticing......YUK. I was about to give up on it all together and order something similar to the one we had when my wife suggested switching the tubes on the bulb, meaning, the tube that fits in the nostril leads to the top of the bulb and the tube that goes in our mouth leads the side. This simple change made the whole thing more like the one we did have and now directs the snot straight down into the bulb instead of toward the tube that leads to the mouth. With that change we have not had any problems with the snot getting into our mouths and we are both much happier with this device. I removed two stars for this obvious oversight in design.
