Preparing for the cold and flu season is essential, especially when you have little children. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you the Vicks Vaporizer review.

No mum likes to put their little one to bed when they’re unwell, especially when they’re having trouble settling because of a blocked nose or cough. All we want to do is provide some relief to our child so that they can get a good night’s sleep, and a Vicks Vaporizer can help with that!

For this review we will be sending mums the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer and Vicks Double Strength Inhalant, that helps provide natural cold and cough relief for the whole family.

Household heating systems in the winter and air conditioners in the summer can rob the indoor air of its natural moisture. The lungs and respiratory tract are dependent on moisture to function effectively. The Vicks Vaporizer helps provide appropriate humidity levels to keep respiratory systems moist and healthy and helps relieve the mucous associated with cold and flu symptoms.

The Vicks Vaporizer helps relieve the symptoms of nose and throat congestion, coughs and a parched throat by thinning mucous and draining sinus passages. This clears the nasal passages for easier breathing and relieves dry, scratchy throats. Using the Vicks Vaporizer overnight ensures sleep is more restful with gentle, natural steam therapy. You can also have peace of mind in this product, as it’s won the Trusted Brands award for the Most Trusted Vaporizer/Humidifier for 2 years in a row – as voted by the Australian public.

  • Great for those stuffy noses

    For almost 10 years now I have been using a vicks vaporizer and it doesn’t let down. It helps our family during the stuffy noses and just makes us feel human again and get a good night sleep. A must have for your family.

  • saviour during the flu

    This has been my saviour when I have had the flu, running cold, congestion in my chest, and head colds. It is so easy to use. Smells fragrant(due to the vicks), portable, and easy to store. I am super happy with this product. I have used this for 4 years and have never had a problem before giving it away. It is long lasting and value for money.

  • Works wonders.

    I have owned a vicks Vaporizer for a little while now. I purchased mine when my little one was sick and had an extremely blocked nose, which no other products were helping. The first night using it was just proof of how amazing it was. My little one slept so soundly that night and could breathe through his nose. So for every sleep and nap while he was sick with a blocked nose we used it. We always have a better night sleep then what it was like dealing without it.
    Very simple and easy to use, it also has great safety features such as turning off when its finished and has a light on it so you know where it is while it is working its magic.

    Fairly easy to clean and packs away nicely after use.

  • Sleeping babies make this mama happy

    I’m back again as I’ve just uploaded my video. In a nutshell, I highly recommend as it really opens up their nasal passages and not be so congested. A sleeping baby makes me so incredibly happy. As a mum of four, when one gets sick it makes it’s rounds so if it can relieve at least one of my babes then it allows me the hands to tend to my other babes. I will be investing in a second vaporiser!

  • It works wonders

    The vaporiser arrived at the perfect time, my baby girl had the sniffles and it was the perfect aid to open up her airways and help her breathe easier overnight, resulting in a sound sleep. I would highly recommend and have already done so amongst friends and family.

  • Great

    We borrowed my mums as my oldest has asthma and we placed it into his room. He had the best nights sleep he told me the next day. He said he wasn’t having trouble breathing. He told me if we could get one to have in his room every night also. He said he found he wasn’t wheezy after using it and had so much more energy

  • Missing my vaporizer

    I had a Vick’s vaporizer for years and I really enjoyed it. However, when it needed to be replacing I decided to try a diffuser instead and have been regretting my decision ever since. You notice right away when you have your Vicks Vaporizer going in a room. Definitely helps little ones with stuffy noses I would recommend this product to everyone. Its perfect and relaxing for all ages

  • Amazing for the winter months

    This Vick’s vaporiser is amazing for the winter months. It has that nose clearing Vick’s scent to it. Great as a preventative for colds. It keeps the airways nice and clear. It has a very calm and relaxing feel to it. Perfect for little ones, especially when they are unwell during winter.

  • Brilliant!

    We’ve been using this since we received it and I’m loving it. Although it is a little difficult to clean, it’s easy to use, the inhalant works a treat and smells so nice. It also doesn’t get too hot and creates the perfect amount of steam. I feel like it definitely makes kiddos sleep better even when they aren’t particularly sick.

  • Great product but bad design

    Although the vicks steam Vaporizer works absolutely amazing, and I have been using it for years, it also has a downfall as it is hard to empty and clean properly as it is oddly shaped. If this design shape was changed And was easier to empty I would of definitely given 5 stars.

  • a saving grace at night

    I have had one of these for years and my neighbour has borrowed it too when she needed it. Easy to use and heats up quick, great for when family have colds or coughs and makes the room smell great too. We mostly use Eucalyptus drops but any other drops like lavender can be used.A fabulouse investment

    I love this Vaporizer. Works wonders when congested. I have also used it for my daughter when she sounded a bit throaty.

  • Effective Product

    I have used this Vicks Steam Warm Vaporizer for myself prior to my son and I found it great for the bedroom when in winter, feeling blocked or just want the air to smell fresh. I now use it for my son and I find it great in the bedroom for him sleeping as he does have allergies and it helps to clear the air for him and sleep better without so much suffering of the stuffy nose. Would recommend this product, even without any Vicks additive, just water.

  • Great product

    The vicks vaporizer is a must have when you have little children, especially during winter time when it’s cold it helps with their little runny noses and blocked nose, just keep door open and you won’t get wet walls and the good thing is us parents can use it too when we have a cold too and it will help with congestion. The only negative thing i will say is it is a little noisy but otherwise great product

  • Can’t do without it!

    My Vicks vaporizer is something I rely on every time my daughter gets a chesty cough or cold. It helps her breathing ease and works perfectly every time. I find it very easy to operate and clean in between uses. It’s also an easy way to provide relief without using medication.

  • Excellent for babies stuffy noses.

    My children when they get sick there real sick! The only thing that gets them to sleep is my vicks vapour machine especially when nurofen and things have all failed it seems to settle them the smell puts them to sleep. The refills arnt the cheapest but reasonable at chemist warehouse as it comes a sale a fair bit.

  • Great product

    These work great during winter to help break up any mucous and chest congestion and only need water and essential oils so is very safe for young children as long as it’s kept in a well ventilated room. It has an automatic switch off when the water runs out so you don’t have to worry if you want to leave it on during the night. It’s a great value appliance that I would recommend to anyone who wants some natural relief for cold and flu symptoms.

  • Hard to empty and creates a lot of condensation

    I was really disappointed with this product. Our old vapouriser died so we changed models and replaced it with this one. It is very loud and while it provides a lot of steam which is great, there is so much that our walls and windows were dripping with water from one night of use. It’s also incredibly hard to empty all of the water out of it. You have to shake it and shake it or water still says inside because of the strange shape of it. The lid is also really tricky to secure. I think we’ll keep this as a backup and stick with our Euky Bear one

  • Great when sick

    Helps keep the air moist to help a cough and also great when adding in some eucalyptus oil to help unblock and keep the nasal passages clear.
    I bought this when my son was a baby and was sick for the first time. I love using myself when I am sick.
    Great product. I would recommend this to everyone.

  • I think they are great putting steam in a room

    Handy for the whole family when your wheeze is back use in your bedroom to help with breathing in the vapour with the drops in the water helps me and love the smell. Buy you won’t regret it as handy if your even stuffy at night put on in your room.

    It’s perfect for a kids room and turns off on its own but I didn’t find it to be lasting long enough.

  • couldn't live without one

    We have two at the moment and during the winter months they are used almost daily – or more accurately nightly… They help prevent the younger kids from getting colds etc and if someone in the house does get sick this is the first go to to help clear the sinuses, chest and so forth – whether adult or child… We all love our steam vaporizers and I highly recommend owning at least one for anyone with children…

  • AMAZING

    I have found that the Vick’s vapouriser works like nothing else on the market it is amazing for all year round and especially for my son who has allergies and chronic asthma it is and has been an absolute life saver and I cannot wait to try any more of the products that are being brought out! highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a humidifier or diffuser!

  • Effective, Easy and Efficient!

    With all the different diffusers on the market I wasn’t sure how the Vicks Vaporizer was going to be any different, but after trialling it with my little tribe I am more than confident in saying that this iconic brand which I have known and trusted since I was a child, definitely stands out from the crowd!

    My eldest son and daughter no longer wake with congestion in the morning! Which is something the whole family experiences during the colder weather due to the drying effects of the heater on our home.

    Unlike with aromatherapy diffusers, the Vicks Vaporizer actually replaces the lost moisture in a room which supports my little one’s airways and as a result helps them to wake with so much more clarity in the morning! Less congestion makes for more alert kids and a much smoother start to their day!

    I love that it delivers warm steam which is so much safer around young children and prevents anyone from accidental steam scalds. You can definitely feel the difference!

    The Vicks Vaporizer is a fabulous product that I would recommend to anyone, especially families to have on hand because after using it and seeing the huge difference it’s had on my family in such a short space of time I am confident that if you try it yourself you will definitely notice the difference it makes, even with providing a more restful sleep!

    If you’re looking for a natural solution to support your family’s respiratory systems, relieving congestion, mucus as well as coughs, cold and flu symptoms- which is also gentle enough for the entire family, then this is it! It’s even suitable for children under 2 years of age!

    It’s soothing effects last all night and it has an automatic shut off making for one less thing to remember in the morning.

    Effective, easy to set up and efficient no matter where I place it in the room, it is powerful enough to fill the entire space with the benefits of the wonderful VapoSteam.

    It really is no wonder that Vicks has won Trusted Brands most trusted Vaporiser/Humidifier Award 2 years in a row! It is an amazing product from a trusted brand! And it’s even backed by a 5 year warranty!

    Thank you so very much to the MoM Team and Vicks for this awesome experience!

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!
