oogiebear and oogiebear-brite

Why not use a cotton swab?  

Cotton swabs might seem like a good choice for little noses, but they’re really not. Sometimes they work, but they’re not great at getting the dry or sticky stuff out — in fact, they often push boogers deeper into the nose, making them harder to reach and creating more discomfort for baby. Also, a cotton swab may start to unravel, leaving cotton fibers in baby’s nose and further aggravating the situation.  

This is what sets the oogiebear-brite apart — it can be used without worrying about possibly hurting your baby. The firm tips allow for effective booger removal while the bear-head design prevents the tool from going too far into their nose, and the led (LED) light feature allows you to clean your baby’s nose and ears too, day & night.  

Why are the tips for the changeable loop tool and scoop tool so hard?  

Our patented curved tips are designed to mimic your fingernail. During extensive product safety testing, we achieved the ideal firmness for maximum effectiveness. The goal of the oogiebear-brite is to be in and out quickly, with no digging. The firm tips are paired with our patented bear head design to ensure the tool does not go too far into baby's nose.

What is the oogiebear-brite made of?  

The oogiebear-brite is mostly constructed of soft rubber that’s grippy for parents and gentle for baby. The firm plastic tips were designed to better remove crusty boogers (the scoop tool) and sticky ones (the loop tool). A softer silicone might seem preferable but focus group testing (we take our boogers very seriously!) confirmed that this was far less effective. The oogiebear-brite is also latex, lead, and phthalate free!

How do you clean the oogiebear-brite?  

The oogiebear-brite is super easy to clean. Simply wash the scoop toll and the loop tool with a mild soap under warm water, rinse it off and then let it air dry. We do not recommend putting the oogiebear-brite in a dishwasher or microwave.

I can’t reach the boogers in my baby’s nose — what do I do?  

For those hard-to-reach boogers, we suggest washing your little one’s face with a warm washcloth prior to using the oogiebear-brite or trying the oogiebear-brite directly after a warm bath. The warm moisture helps loosen those stubborn boogers and can make them more accessible. If you still can’t reach them, though, don’t worry — just try again in a few hours or tomorrow.  

Will this work on ears? And what is the age limit for using it in both ears and nose?  

Yes, the oogiebear-brite works well with babies’ ears. Its bear-head design is both fun and safe: it prevents the tool from going too far into baby’s nose or ears. The LED light also helps you see what’s inside. The oogiebear-brite is especially effective after (or even during) a warm bath — the warm moisture will make tenacious boogers and ear wax easier to remove. The recommended age for the oogiebear-brite is 0 to 24 months.

Will this work for toddlers?  

Yes, it will work on toddlers as long as they tolerate your using it on their nose and/or ears! We have lots of customers who use the oogiebear-brite with their toddlers, and it works great. The recommended age of 0 to 24 months is simply based on its design for smaller noses.

Does the oogiebear-brite work on dry boogers?  

Oogiebear-brite is the only infant nose cleaning product specifically designed to remove both dry and sticky boogers. It has two changeable tools – a loop tool for the sticky mucus and a scoop tool for safely removing dried mucus, and the led-light helps you see what’s up there. Other infant nose cleaners are designed to work well on wet mucus, but they’re not effective on the dry or sticky stuff. When boogers make it hard to breathe, it’soogiebear-brite to the rescue — one quick scoop, and you’re out!

Would this work for removing, say, a pea?  

The oogiebear-brite is intended for the removal of mucus and ear wax only and should never be used in any other way. It is not intended to remove foreign objects placed up a child’s nose and should never be used in such a manner as it could push these further up the nostril and cause further harm. In such a situation, please contact a medical professional, and do not attempt to use the oogiebear-brite to remove anything but boogers and ear wax!

 What battery does the oogiebear-brite require?  

The oogiebear-brite helps you clean your baby’s nose day and night with its LED light, so of course it needs a battery! in case the battery runs out, please replace it with aCR927 lithium battery.
