Cathy, I actually suffer from SAIDD (Sleep Apnea Input Device Discomfort). It's been a while since I used nasal pillows and my schnozz wanted a day to recover. . Although I used the CL2 for a while earlier in my therapy, it has never been a particularly good fitting mask for me, despite the "fishing line" mod I came up with for it. I made it work cleanly for one night by literally jamming the pillows up my nose. (Or, maybe that one night without leaks was just a pure fluke ... )
And, besides my machine changes have occurred extremely slowly ..., a week or more between changes. .

And that's why I come here ... to get honest opinions. In that regard, it should be interesting to compare leak data with a different mask. I may have to go mask shopping again. I know the Swift has a problem with leaks. I know the CL2 has a problem with leaks. I have not tried AYR gel, yet. I wonder if that helps with leaks.
I also know that I mouth breathe on occasion, although I didn't have any overt indications of that from last night (e.g., dry mouth), other than the one big spike in the data. Looking at the charts though, I see leaks from large to small throughout my charts ...
