Re: Mouth breather

It might be worth mentioning that when I was getting started I was quite worried about mouth-breathing, as I always seem to have some base level of nasal congestion and I thought there would be many nights when I would not be able to get sufficient air using only the nasal pillows which I prefer for...

bethlori, The Comfort Classic was the first one I really used, and to this day seems to have been the one 'over the nose' mask that sealed pretty well for me. The thing is, though, the gel bumper at the top of the mask takes only two or at most three days to open up a sore on my forehead. (I now hav...

It is a bit strange reading through the material, which seems to go on and on about how this is going to improve the life of the clinician.

I'd be happy to trade you a CL2 Medium nasal pillow for your CL2 large nasal pillow.

Hey DB... I was just noticing in a different thread that you indicated there that you were using the Medium simple cushion with your CL2, but in this thread you seem to say you bought and are using the large simple cushion. (I recognize that we are both using the large pillows interface) If the othe...

I was concerned that my post needed to be read carefully to understand.

I'm looking to trade away mediums and receive large.

So... looks like DB and I are looking for the same thing.

I don't wear glasses (except sunglasses every once in awhile), so I don't know if 'tickles' is a good description of the sensation. Though it wasn't really a painful sensation, it was in some ways similar to heightened sensitivity one has when they've gotten some sort of abrasion injury... where the...

Comfort Lite 2 interface swap offer

When I got my Comfort Lite 2 with the simple cushion and pillow interfaces, with the medium and large sizes. Basic fitting once they were here revealed that the large size for both was what I needed. Did anybody make the same choice and find that they need the mediums, that might be interested in sw...

Well... it ended up taking about 10 hours for those additional sensations to go away. Still very weird. Looking for something dependable last night, I went back to my Comfort Classic, and achieved two things... 1) a reasonably good night of sleep 2) re-irritating the sore between my eyebrows where t...

It is truely strange. It's as if those areas have become hypersensitive to very small air movements.

I'm thinking that maybe I'll use a *different* mask tonight.

Strange lingering sensation

Hi all, First some context. I'm just getting started, and last night tried the Comfort Lite 2 for the first time. I started with the simple interface, which seemed to seal well and comfortably. Around 4 a.m., though, after adjusting my sleep position I had difficulty getting the seal reseated, and i...
