Sinus Vibrator   (+5)  [vote for, against]
A combination of electric toothbrush, percussion massager, and recreational vibrator.

Which of us with bad sinuses hasn't tried anything and everything to find relief? Pills, nasal sprays, neti pots. One of the best things I've found is a percussion massager, turned to the highest available setting, applied directly to the face in violation of the owner's manual. I propose a smaller, more practical and purpose built device. Picture an ultrasonic electric toothbrush, but instead of a toothbrush head there is a 2-3" long suppository-shaped end piece. Bacteriostatic lubricant is applied and the device inserted as far as practical into the nose. Intense vibration shakes loose years worth of thickened mucus, blood, and pollen. A convenient timer stops the vibration automatically after a few minutes in case you've lost consciousness. You awake and begin your life anew.

A bidet version might also be effective in retentive situations.

I'll bun the bidet version. The sinus version looks too dangerous. No skull-shattering resonance for me, thanks.
