I wonder if anyone else is having thi problem--the headgear definitley fits better than the breeze but I find that the nasal things are such a teeny bit too far away from my nose--ive been using a survivor buff to wrap around my head to keep the prongs in my nose--are there any better suggestions?? Im not terribly mechanically inclined but I hated wearing the pantyhose with the breeze--lol--thanks:)

I had a similar problem with the CL2. It was a waking up every couple of hours because the nose piece (pillow type) was getting out of place and the mask leaking. I tried using a chin strap and the panty hose solution but thought of making my own device.

I used half-inch wide ribbon and pieces of Velcro at both ends and in the middle. The middle part I used together with a 1-inch long same ribbon with Velcro which goes in the nose piece between it and the metal band, so the rest of the ribbon keeps in place.

The ends of the ribbon go around the headgear of the mask. I cannot give you dimensions because it depends on your face size. I cut it by trying it on my face with the mask on.

Two nights so far and it seems to work nicely. Even though you mention not to be mechanically inclined, I believe it’s easy enough to try.

Which CL2 interface are you using, prongs, pillows, or Simple Cushion)?

Is the problem with distance or the angle?

Putting the headgear straps in the most forward position, and pulling the
head pad down on your forehead will help in most cases. However, for a
lot of people, the tilt mechanism needs to be re-designed with more inward adjustment.

You may want to look at my favorite 2 fixes for the CL 2, besides the pantyhose strap. I use one pantyhose strap (REAL pantyhose) tied on the movable tube just below the twist adjustment. I get it as high up that tube as I can, and use Rested Gal's starter knot. It is just enough to keep it a bit more stable and closer in to my nares.

Please note that another user put a piece of sticky velcro on hers and stuck a tie to it, which she removes when cleaning it. I searched but could not find her posting and forgot whose it was. If I find it, I will post it.
