Re: Nasal pillows + CA's
Im not an expert but have you tried turning off your humidifier? That made my nose block/close up terrible.

Re: Best nasal pillow mask (2013)
wouldnt that tap pap eventually loosen your teeth long term use? I would be worried about that...although it does look good...I would have concerns about anything anchored to my teeth, am I missing something?
