I would like to hear from anyone who uses a flutter to help clear their lungs.

I am thinking of buying one. Any help in knowing which ones work best would be appreciated. Thank you, Stella

If you are in England you should be able to get one through your doctor.
My specialist team at the hospital, referred me to physio' arranged through my doctor and a lady came to see me, showed me the breathing techniques and brought a flutter for me, and showed me how to use it.
It takes a little practice to get the ball inside to bounce, I find if I am on my own I can concentrate and get it just right. But I couldn't have done it without the help from the physio' lady who was so very good.
There is no need to 'go it alone'...
Blessings,
Lesley

1. Breathe through your nose and feel your tummy rise - breathe out - repeat 2 or 3 times;
2. Take 2 deep breaths to open up your airways;
3. Back to breathing control - make your tummy rise - breathe out - repeat 2 or 3 times;
4. Take a long squeezy huff - keep mouth open and huff slowly - don't cough;
5. Back to breathing control - as 1 and 3;
6. As 4 but huff out quickly - try not to cough just yet;
7. Back to breathing control - as 1, 3, and 5;
8. Cough and then regain control of your breathing.
This is a slightly condensed version of the paperwork I have but the actions are the same. Good luck and keep in touch. Lizzy164.
7.
