I have the stinging when I don't have the salt crystals totally dissolved. My little plastic neti pot has grooves around the outside edge that can hold salt crystals, so I give it an extra couple of minutes of stir around the edge. Voila, no more sting.

Talk to Joybird about this. She suggested one for me when I had a bad cold. She may be able to help.

I use a Neti everyday.......use non iodized salt and cut back on the amount. Make sure that you are using warm water and that the salt is stirred well into the water before you use it. The salt, even in a few moments, can start to settle at the bottom of the pot, so don't drain all of the water into your nostrils.
