For the same reason, you can wash out cuts with saline and it doesn't hurt as much.

Completely agree, just tip your head back and wash out your sinuses with the stuff, doesn't burn, works great. I actually often do it immediately after nose spray.
The nose spray clears everything out, then the saline gets rid of the residue that keeps it irritable and burning for hours.
After that, hopefully be nice enough to stash that bottle somewhere it won't be grabbed by a friend that might be over and wants to clean their contacts, ew.
Also agree with the don't use Afrin more than 2 days, that stuff works great a time or two, but the addiction part kicks in and you can't breathe at all, sucks.
