5.1 How the Steam Inhaler Works
The Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler operates by gently boiling water in its base unit. The resulting warm, moist steam rises into the contoured face mask, where it is directed into your nasal and throat passages. This process helps to moisturize dry mucous membranes, loosen mucus, and provide temporary relief from congestion and irritation.

5.2 Using with VapoPads
For an enhanced soothing experience, Vicks VapoPads can be used with your inhaler. These pads release menthol and eucalyptus vapors into the steam. Simply slide a VapoPad into the designated slot before turning on the unit. Replace the VapoPad after each use or when the scent diminishes.
