The product is labeled "Lanisnoh HPA Lanolin."

Please do enter your machine info into your profile. If you have the right CPAP machine, you can get software and see on the graphs if you're leaking or mouth breathing during the night.

Got the Lanisnoh lanolin today in Walgreens yaaay..thank you so much for recommending it. Im going to try it tonight. I have switched from the XS swift fx nasal pillows to the size S to see if that helps, also hubby has reset my starting pressure from a 4 to a 6 with a max of 9 ( my cpap no is 7). I felt like I was suffocating on number 4. Im so tired right now I feel I can sleep, heres hoping I can get longer than 1 and a half hours ( my max). Night number 29 and counting......
thank you all again for your help

Good luck tonight.
Baby steps...you will get there. A newbie said something a while back that really stuck with me. I forget who it was but the words were so true.
It's not about perfection...it's about progression.

Other than what was posted in this 5 year OLD post, not much has changed. If you are buying with your money, your options are broader, with INS, you need to find out the people you can deal with, and ask them about policies and options. Jim

And SHOP AROUND.
There is only one way to punish dealers who refuse to carry a reasonable assortment of masks.
That is to go somewhere else.
You can stop in and flaunt the new mask that they refused to get for you--if you care to.
