LOL When I have problems there with leakage, time to pack it in!!!

HI Gary. A thin band of panty hose is comfortable and reasonably effective right under the nasal pillows. I only wash the mask once a week. It would be quite a chore to do every day. As long as I'm using the Lansinoh, I'll at least wash the nose pillows daily. We'll eventually get there.

OK, Lansinoh with panty hose (sounds a bit silly) worked very well. My right nostril is larger than my left (causing leakage), so I may cut an extra pair of nose pillows and use one medium and one large. The leakage was in my larger nostril and I needed a lot more Lansinoh than I thought. I must say...

Good luck, Gary G. Maybe we can compare notes. I also have the Liberty Hybrid.

Absolutely great responses! Will try LinkC's idea. I guess the tendency is to overdo it, but I've been experimenting for 6 months, so what is another night or two. I actually have a full face mask that I use on occasion, but very uncomfortable. I just can't take that pressure on the forehead. No nas...

Hi, I bought a tube of Lansinoh (thank goodness my wife was with me ) Exactly where do you apply to the nose pillows and just how much? How effective? Thanks.

Thanks! My wife has already gone through the gamut of jokes with me. Will look for the lanisoh, but would prefer it worked without the panty hose.

Thanks, Rested Gal. I immediately "Googled" the Swift mask and that eliminated that. My Dr. prescribed the hybrid or full-face mask. I have used the full-face on occasion, but just not comfortable. Too much pressure on the forehead and leaks around the eyes are very annoying. You would think a bette...

Thanks for the replies. I tried elastic two nights ago and the panty hose thing last night. Both stopped the leaks but led to nasal irritation during the night. Not terrible but did wake me up. I suppose once I find a comfort level, one of these methods should work. The panty hose were better, softe...

Many thanks for that response and between my wife and I, we'll figure something out. You would think there would be something on the market to fix this problem. I have on occasion stuffed the pillows into my nostrils in frustration. Scotch tape helped for a while, but they just can't cover everythin...

Hi, new to the board. After 6 months very used to my CPAP Hybrid, but the nasal pillow fit has been very inconsistent. Many nights I wake up several times to adjust them to keep from leaking. I get restless and now seems to be disturbing my wife when the whole idea is to keep from snoring which has ...
