Tried the Wisp last night.

Hi, Nate, the sensitive area goes from right beneath my glasses frame to right to the end of the nose bone. . .I think glasses don't bother me because I wore glasses during the time when I broke my nose - and the glasses actually helped to set it. The nerve pain from it isn't as intense as sciatica, but it's very close to the same type of pain when something touches my nose. I can't take it for very long. If nothing is touching my nose, I don't feel it at all. So, it covers a pretty big area of my nose as far as where something can sit. It would need to sit up where my glasses sit in order for me to wear it. . . or on the very tip of my nose.

Well that explains it then. I can understand why you would need to rule out the Wisp which, one way or another, straddles the nose.

Good luck with your next choice! And keep us posted.

Regards, Nate

By the way, have decided that I'm between medium and large, so will be trying the "cut down a medium to make something larger than medium but smaller than large" thing on a set of nasal pillows *smile*. Don't have the proper tool yet, though.

Fingernail clippers?

Good thought. However, I think I need a straight, very clean cut.

nares will be exactly the same shape and size. The "cone" will just not extend as far inside
of the nostril.

Am I missing something?
