Does my child have big nostrils?

Silly question, I know. Let me explain how I came to this question. AJ has been fighting a stuffy nose. I have been using the suction bulb thingy and it only works ok, so at my mom's group I asked if anyone knows of a better way to help a stuffy nose. One mom suggested the Nose Frida. For those of you who do not know about this it basically is a snot sucker where you put a tube over your baby's nostril that is connected to a straw like thing and you literally suck out the snot. My first reaction was gross! But then if it helps AJ I guess I will try it, so I sent my husband to whole foods to pick it up.

I read the directions and was ready to do this, but when I put the tube to AJ's nostril it did not create a seal over it, the tube fit inside of her nostril! So this is why I ask if my daughter's nostrils are too big?

The Nose Frida does not work for us. Any other suggestions?
