a loop of dental floss around the stems?, what's that do? stiffen them a bit so they're no so flimsy?

Update: the Mirage Liberty mask https://www.cpap.com/productpage/2513 is now my #1 favorite mask and the Swift XF has taken the 2nd best spot, the Mirage Liberty mask works great now that I have it adjusted properly and with being a 90% of the time side sleeper the CPAP pillow makes it even better, ...

Well, it's been two weeks now using the Mirage Liberty mask https://www.cpap.com/productpage/2513 and so far so good, it took a couple of days to get adjusted to it and figure out how to set the nasal pillows, also purchased a CPAP pillow for added comfort and leak prevention , I'm going to say the ...

The only issue I've had with the Liberty is that the nasal pillows sometimes need a little "encouragement" to stay flush against my nares. Some people use lanolin, but it seems to make the left pillow slip more than just the dry silicone. that's minor yet encouraging compared to what I was going th...

I can relate... gave up on the Quattro myself for the same reasons, only I waited much too long and went back to the Swift FX nasal pillow mask but now am going to give the Mirage Liberty a try,.and if it don't work, I'll have enough parts and pieces from the three masks that I can make one that wil...

Morning I use the Respcare/Innomed Hybrid...almost the same as the Liberty, and I sleep on my side with my face partially smooshed into my pillow. No problems what so ever. To the person that needs a new mask but can't ask their doctor.... just go to your supplier that gave you the mask and exchang...

Would like to get some feedback on the Mirage Liberty full face mask and how it affects side sleepers such as myself, I started my CPAP therapy with the Swift LT nasal pillow mask, and now lately my wife has been waking me to tell me I'm blowing air through my mouth or my mask fell off which it actu...

I started out with the Swift FX nasal mask, then went to the beastly Quattro full face, never again only to go back to the Swift FX nasal.., Mirage Liberty is next.

They are supplying the package that doesn't have the Loops and taking on an additional charge for supplying the Loops.

thanks for the tip.... what a racket hey?

may have to give them (ear thingies)a try, my 6 month HMO mask choice is up next week...

great ...thank you ! I'm currently using the Swift FX Nasal Pillow and was just checking out the Swift FX Bella Nasal Pillow before your reply and see that you are using one, I know it's user preference but am curious if you had used the plain Swift FX before going with the Swift FX 'Bella' version?...

After seeing some newer models I'm wondering if my PR System One REMstar Auto CPAP Machine with A-Flex is somewhat a brick now?, after all we all would like the latest and greatest right?, I'm not sure if I'm even using my machine to it's full capacity, or if I can or cannot read my info/events etc....

was just curious as to how many others have gone through different mask/nasal pillow options until they found 'the one' ?,
I'm thinking the majority of CPAP users stick with the first kind/type of gear issued or chosen?

I originally started out with using the Swift brand nasal pillows for about the first year, then after putting up with the dry mouth syndrome decided to try the full face mask (Quattro FX) for 6 months and got really uncomfortable with it (leaks, constant readjusting, jet fighter fantasies etc.) stu...
