Looking for a new mask. Any suggestions?

As the title says, I'm looking for a new mask. I've been going steady the Eson for about a year and half and it still works for me most of the time. The ESON and I hit it off early in my CPAP journey. But now I wanted to see if there was another mask out there that I could have a fling with. My requ...

Re: Is cleaning an issue?

I'm not sure how often I clean MY CPAP equipment matters to someone else.
You clean your equipment as much as you want and I'll clean my equipment as much as I want.

Re: Wisp??

I love the ESON, I consistently have an AHI under 5 and regularly hit 0. I wanted to love the Wisp but it didn't work for me.

The Nano looks interesting too. I'm going to check it out.

Re: Anyone want some Provents?

Aww shoot, I would have like to try them out too. I was looking into them for some upcoming overnight flights.
That'll teach me to not skip a day logging in.

Re: Terrible Nasal Congestion

try cranking up the humidity on your machine. I need a lot of humidity to keep form getting congested. I run mine at 4.5.

Re: Cat hair!

Another vote for a damp wipe before putting your mask on. That's what I do b/c no matter how careful I am about cleaning in the morning/daytime storage, I always find a few cat hairs on my mask before bed. I share my bed with 2 or 3 depending on their moods and one who loves to scratch her chin on m...

Re: Travelling with CPAP- I know again

Upload your prescription to cpap.com and if something breaks while your're travelling, they can ship a replacement to you overnight (in most cases)

Re: Eson Mask sizing

I've worn a small in every mask I've tried and I wear a ESON small. If it would help, I could measure it for you.

Re: Baby with Sleep Apnea

I read that and thought how scary for the mom, and kudos to the kids! I wonder how they treat a 12 week old for apnea? A miniature mask? Surgery? with little masks. A friends daughter has SA, she was diagnosed at about 3 months. It is apparently somewhat common for children with downs syndrome to a...

More flexible - cloth

Re: Bloody noses

I get almost daily nosebleeds due to long term nasal steroid use. It thinned the membranes of one nostril. I use a saline spray with aloe daily and before I go to bed, I put a dab of beeswax based salve inside each nostril.
