I use one when the dryness bothers me. You do have to be careful and keep them clean and free from mold, so they are work, but they do help.

yes, it works for me. I monitor humidity levels all yr long. Both inside and out. I have a dehumidifier and a humidifier in the main part of the house where I am most. Cold doesn't bother me like heat. Except I hate being cold.The whole thing gets tiring.
Too humid and can't breathe, so, I agree w/34%.

CindyMoschetti, I had a collapsed lung, coming home to a warm house made breathing hard, so I started using a humidifier, it seemed to help me, I don't use it as much now guess I've gotten better. But I have to admit there are times that I have anxiety and use the humidifier to help me to breathe better. Don't know if it is just in my head that I think I can breath better or is I can. I do know that to cold effects everthing so why not humidity.
