Trust me. I've been using mine for about a week now, having bought it over 6 months ago and resisting using it. I thought it would be painful/feel weird/or make me drown. And I have lots of drowning issues, cause it totally kicks in my claustrophobia issues. Just use warm water, table salt, and you're good to go.
