VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier Review

Old Wise Truths

I remember the first few years of being a parent, each time Miss C would get a cold both grandma’s would say, make sure she has a Humidifier plugged in, that always helped with our kids. Why? I would ask. No one ever had an answer for me but that it worked for them. I am a why person if you tell me something works I need to know the reasons behind it. Finally I broke down and bought the cheapest one on the shelves so I can finally say “yes I got one”. I would fill it up and plug it in when I thought of it and it seemed more of a hassle than help at the time, I still didn’t have the answers to my question – how does it work and why? Today we have Google, thank goodness and I finally have the answer.

Why does a Humidifier work?

Research has shown that maintaining indoor humidity levels between 40 to 60 per cent reduces the survival of flu viruses in the air. A cool mist humidifier will not only add essential moisture to the room to help maintain ideal humidity levels but will also ensure
that your child will breathe easier.  Plus using a humidifier is a useful device to help relieve congestion from allergies, colds and other respiratory ailments. Especially in the dry winter months using a humidifier can also help to alleviate itchy eyes, dry skin, bleeding noses and cracked lips caused by low humidity.

Now that I am wiser, I have a humidifier in all the kids’ bedrooms and we fill them up nightly. Over the years I have also learnt not to cheap out on the cheapest on the self because I will be replacing it far too soon.

VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier Review

Recently I was introduced to the VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier. This humidifier not only comes in pink or blue is brings the night sky into your child’s room by projection the nights sky on the ceiling. Although our daughter is 8 she loves this feature and as she falls into dream land in a calming environment of natures beauty.

Additional benefits of VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier:

• Cool mist that helps reduce dry air discomforts often associated with a harsh winter.
• Slot for Vicks VapoPads Scent pads allows use of soothing vapours for added comfort.
• Automatic Moisture Balance System that naturally adjusts output for maximum comfort.
• Perfect for medium size rooms.
• 3.8L (1 gallon) tank capacity.

We do find with the VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier that it needs to be filled each night. Miss C is old enough to take on this task with ease and never misses a night of filling her VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier.

“I have to say the fact that the VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier covers off two units in one with the projector, I am going to be replacing the Humidifier in the boys room with a VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier. The starry night on the ceiling is so calming and rewarding after a long day, we all can use the peaceful ease into dreamland. 

In combination with a few other prevention‘s this fall I am happy to say the kids have not been sick. I believe taking little preventatives such as using a VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier each night is making our home a happy germ free place to be. The moral of the story is to always listen to your mothers wises tales even if they don’t come with all the answers to your questions.”

What preventatives do you use to keep the germs at bay during cold season?

Got a family on your nice list this holiday season? Treat them to a wise tale that goes way back.
