Calpol vapour plug

What’s everyone’s reviews on the calpol vapour plug? My son has an awful cold and cough and was recommended it. Has anyone used one? If so can you leave them on all night? As it says 8 hours but my son sleeps through the night so we sleep longer then 8 hours. Or can I just put it on a few hours before he goes to bed then turn it off?

Hello I don't really rate it for helping But you can smell it for a good few hours. I leave it on as it has a night light. But you can tell the strip has run out x

I actually rated it. Very expensive though but I will use again after the 8 hours the smell with ware off. So just leave until morning. X

I didn’t like it at all, didn’t help my baby at all, I went for baby rub made by vicks suitable for babies 6+ months, put it on her belly and chest before bed and it’s worked wonders for her, noticed a massive different a few days after I started using it, also so much cheaper than the plug as well, only costs £3.75 from Asda xx

@Abigayle yeah my partners getting some on the way back from work. I’ve got the nasal spray stuff but just want something he can use at night time it help him. It’s so awful when there Ill :( x

I liked it too! I feel it did help along with vapour rub and elevating one side of his cot. I just would put it on at 11ish when we went to bed and it would be on til 7/8am x

I used the Vicks portable diffuser instead which helped my little girl xx

I thought it made a massive difference to my wee one. We plugged it in about 30 mins before bed and by the time I put him down it was really strong. He was absolutely fine for 9 hours then got really snuffled again. If it's a big room it needs to be close to cot and obviously door needs to be more or less shut but I think it's amazing

I really like it and have it on now! Xx

Brilliant. Helped me too as baby is still in our room 😂 I’ve left it on for 2 days, the effectiveness just wears off after 8 hours. It will last longer if you put it on an hour before his bed and turn it off when you go to bed.

@Laura used it last night and doesn’t seem to have done a lot maybe after a few uses it will take effect it surly knocked me out though 😂😂x

It's just menthol so once it wears off its no use. The wee pads only last about 7/8 hours. They made my eyes water it was so strong haha. Got to keep the door shut to keep it in the room.
