No Mask

Hi:
I have been using the no mask system and I find my only trouble in getting the mouth piece to fit without making my tongue sore. I have been carving on the molding and I think I have it fixed. Does anyone else have this problem ? What did you do to fix it?

cpap-pro

Last night was my first time with no mask system. For me it was really nice and easy to use. The only thing was cotton mouth and you can't eat anything while you are wearing it. Which is a good thing in my case.( getting a little round in the middle )

Masks

You can tell if someone is a user of a CPAP or BIPAP machine by looking at their hair. I have dents and curls where the strap hold my nasal pillows .
So now when I am at a store I look for the dents and curls.
