...I have a sore in my nose right where the Swift Fx nasal pillows lie. Lansinoh??

I love this Swift FX for her so much I want to wear it all the time. I breathe so much better with it on. And who would have thunk I could actually keep my trap shut all night without losing air. I'm just blown away. The old timers were correct, you have to get the right mask.

It's the Swift FX for Her. I'm averaging a leak rate between 0 and .16 and have not had to use the chin strap yet. My only complaint is the exhaust freezing my arms. I expect to have that solved by getting a friend to sew me some arm warmers. I am very pleased.

FX was the first mask I tried. I couldn't keep it from sliding up my face. I would wake up with the bottom of the mask in my mouth. Good luck.

I just got the Swift FX for her mask and I love it. My leak rates are acceptable. The freedom to read in bed is wonderful, even if I don't do it that much. I also got a chinstrap, but haven't had to use it so far. The cat wants to know why I'm humming at her though. lol

I haven't had this problem... I only have to shift the mask around a bit when i turn over

It has taken months, but I am finally able to use the bipap machine each time I lay down to sleep. Even my afternoon naps. Now it feels funny if I don't put it on. I had an asthma flare-up last week and had to go to the ER. This resulted in my returning to my family doc for a nebulizer. The respirat...

Very good numbers for me. The new mask is working out even if it's rubbing my nose. I've tried the Quattro fitting guide but all I get are leaks. So I am wearing it a bit tight. I have cranked the forehead knob as far as I can without getting a leak. Congrats. What were your AHI and leak rate with ...

My sleep nurse told me not to use a liner.

I've been using the cpap for the last 2 nights...without success. I lay in bed from 10:30 til about 2:30am before finally taking the mask off and sleeping w/o the machine. I'm just having a really hard time adjusting. I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor for some Ambien to help me fall asleep. I...

I'm breaking out where the mask touches the bridge of my nose and along my chin where it sits. I clean my face with Proactiv but it isn't controlling the breakouts. I wash the mask in baby shampoo. Thoughts are welcomed.

Thanks for the fast delivery. The forehead pad was welcomed on a hot muggy night. The neck straps were easy to put on and I no longer get marks when I lay on my side.

My papers said treadmill. Ugh.
