Sore nose

Post by AMK » Mon Mar 23, 2015 1:56 pm

I tried a larger size cushion last night with my Pico mask and was surprised to find a sore red spot on the bridge of my nose this morning. I never got that with smaller cushions, but I think the larger one is better in other ways. Is a piece of medical tape on my nose tonight going to be enough? I don't have to get one of those gel things, do I?

That doesn't sound like it's going to work very well in the long run.

Have you ever tried this one?

I have tried the Mirage FX for her and it fits pretty well but has a tendency to leak into my eyes. I like the release tabs on the Pico...I had to fight my way out of the Mirage FX. I have not given the Eson a serious trial because it doesn't come with free return insurance. I am also not entirely sure what size Eson I would order. Was hoping to make the Pico work..the size small Pico cushion was working pretty well till I tried to use it with RemZzz liners. I'll just try putting a piece of tape over the bridge of my nose tonight.
