Re: one more question about chin straps

G'day needanap, I use the Seatec "Sleeptight" chin strap. http://www.cpapaustralia.com.au/shopping/seatec-sleeptight-chinstrap.html I find it very comfortable and always stays in place.

Re: Changing From Nasal Mask to Nasal Pillow...Pressure Question

G'day All, Having recently made the switch successfully, I can offer a couple of things. (1) Use "Bactroban Nasal Cream" to limit nasal constriction and help lubricate and seal the pillows to your nostrils.

G'day Everyone, This, like many on this forum is my first post. I too have had to deal with this same problem, and so has my son.
