in reply to cofdrop-UK
I know great fun though lol xx
Very happy to hear it is working for you. Was wondering how you got on. Take care xxxx
Porsche - I say let them look and muse at you. I often walk around village with a bandanna over my mouth & nose if temperature is low or if it's windy and if people stare I go cross eyed and they always seem to be the embarrassed one !! That was all except last Xmas when I walked into the bank wearing bandanna gloves and woolly hat.. Couldn't understand why I was getting funny looks at first, then I realised.... Doh??

Hi All, I find this site so helpful, I just logged on and read this post about blowing bubbles through water.
I then read another link with a site showing how to do it.
I will certainly be trying this soon.
Thank you all for your very useful tips and advise.
in reply to inhaler1
I was told this by two lovely ppl here,and it certainly works! I am so glad I came on this site I don't feel so alien and the advice I have been given is great , knowing we are all in the same boat and blowing bubbles with it lol...Laura
I've been having a few bad days and am trying to get rid of the mucus...I tried your blowing bubbles in a glass this morning and nothing happened.....is there a special way of doing it?????
Hello Louisiana,get an old,clean ,plastic milk bottle( large) or similar .Fill with about 3 inches of water.Get some tubing ,from nebuliser,or ask pharmacist,put the tube in the water and blow for as long as is comfortable,do four or five times,it should loosen gunk and help get rid of it.Good luck.D.
thank you I will try it....finding a milk bottle will be difficult, but I will find something. I will let you know how I get on...thanks again.
in reply to Louisiana
I done mine in a long vase at first haha..I now have designer one lol bottle and tubing cut from one of my masks works a treat..lol xx
in reply to FarmerD
Listen to Farmer,He told me about it..I have severe Emphysema and it certainly helps as I get too weak to cough at times.....

Wow! I have just printed this off (thanks to the member who told me how to print things 
) It's brilliant and I plan to get the tubing, carton, etc.......in the meantime I will muddle along with straws....thank you!!!!
in reply to Louisiana
Take a deep breathe and blow as hard as your comfortable with, do this a few times and huff..Keep doing it and it will eventually break..Drink lots of fluid too to make it less sticky..Keep trying and keep smiling xx
Louisiana in reply to
thank you sooooo much - I will keep trying. I am learning so much from this group. thank you thank you.....
Your welcome sweetheart...I am learning too and have had so many good responses..xxx
I find the straw to tenuous, but you can adjust this with a plastic tube hat you put into a bottle. dIf you fill the bottle to the top, it's extremely hard to push bubbles, so you can decrease the amount of water you put into the bottle to make it easier. This is cheap and very efficient, but tiring.
in reply to helingmic
I have a piece of tubing and it works a treat,and a plastic bottle..I soak these ,along with masks etc in babies Milton..Keeps them germ free!! when I first tried it I found it easy and didn't realise the more water the harder it would be..
I think it helped me quite a lot as my infection has cleared a lot quicker than normally..Have a nice day......
