Afrin does indeed make plain saline solution in a spritzer-type bottle.  I
looks just the other Afrin bottle, but the label is blue, and it is clearly
labelled as Afrin Moisturizing Saline Mist.  Also on the front label it says:

"Non-medicated, drug-free, moisturizes dry nasal passages, use as often as
needed."  On the back, the ingredients are listed as: water, PEG-32, sodium
chloride, PVP, disodium phosphate, sodium phosphate, benzalonium chloride,
disodium EDTA."

This doesn't mean it is appropriate for using on sore nipples.  I was just
using it as an example of how cheap saline solutions can be at the store,
and how you didn't need a prescription to get Afrin saline.
