Nose Pillows Sticking to Nostrils - Recent Issue

Post by JCWarrior » Fri Feb 22, 2019 8:35 am

I've been using my Airfit P10's for years. Never had this issue until last week or so.

The pillows get stuck to my skin and I have to kind of peel them away. Usually, there's no resistance.
Could it be because my humidity setting is higher than I normally keep it?

I used to keep it at 65 year round but have raised it to about 76-79 in recent weeks. Hoping to alleviate some dry mouth (another recent issue).

Last night I used Lansinoh but it didn't make any difference.

Have you used these pillows for a while or are they recently purchased?

I have not had that issue unless my nose was stuffy. I have not purchased pillows in quite a while, though.

I had the issue with pillows that were maybe a month old and washed.
Then I put brand new pillows in and same thing.

I've never read of anybody having this issue.

Well that's a drag! I was hoping to hear a bunch of people chiming in with the same experience and solutions! LOL

This happens to me almost every night! I just switched to the p10. I was actually hoping to find advice myself. Ouches!

Not sure if this will help in this case but I used to use AYR nasal gel to keep my nose from drying out at night. Just put it on a cotton swab and swabbed my nostril's. Might be worth a try.
