Do You Wear Your Pillows Upside-Down?

Post by KimberlyM » Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:41 pm

I just got my Swift FX and think I am going to like them alot. The pillows seem to fit my slotted nostrils better upside-down though. Does anyone wear theirs that way? Any problems with doing so? Thanks everyone! The Swift FX seems like it just may be the perfect "mask" for me!

I guess no one does. I got them to seal going the right way, but they do fit better upside-down. Lanoish will help with the seal too.

I've put them on upside down by accident, and it sure didn't feel right to me, but whatever works for you is fine!

Just be sure to watch your leak rates and AHI's to make sure there are no problems there.

Thanks for the replies. Good point about the leak rates and AHI. I will be watching that. Tonight is my first night with the FX. I am actually excited about going to bed for a change.
