    I too feel like there is like one or more reasons some people say to not use them (I haven’t used one myself). Though I think that one thing is that if you don’t clean the pot very thoroughly, it might cause some bad infections. But that would be true of anything like that since bacteria can thrive on warm moist devices that come into contact with our bodies (and from the buildup that you would be trying to clear).

      No, using them is fine. It’s every night that I was concerned about. They sell a special packet that you mix with water and I believe it says not to do it too often. I believe regular salt water would probably be okay.
