Re: Is there a way to temporarily reduce the need for a humidifier?

You can try pass over humidity. Turn the humidifier off, then just put some water in the tank. As the machine runs, it will pick up some water vapor. I personally do not need humidity most of the year. On the real cold winter nights when the heater has been running all day I use pass over humidity a...

Re: Help Finding a Nasal Pillow Mask

I will second the F&P micro. It has replaced the P10 for me. Have used P10 for aprox five years. Tried the micro and found it to be superior...for me. Smaller profile with nostril cones that go deeper into the nose make for much better leak results...for me. Headgear is superior also...for me. Good ...

You should probably follow CGranny's advice. She is a very sweet old person, who probably knows a lot more about pimples than I. :)

Re: Pimples Caused by Lower Seal of Mark

Get some lanolin cream (Lansinoh brand is recommended) and start putting it on irritated area. A little goes a long way.

That should help.👍

Re: The new F & P Solo nasal pillow mask

Someone else needs to be a guinea pig for the Nova Micro. I am not going to be trying it unless it gets donated. I paid out of pocket for the Solo under the nose cushion and the Solo nasal pillow model.....I am done with paying for anything new for a while. Amen. And thanks again for all you do. JPB

Re: The new F & P Solo nasal pillow mask

Thank you for the review.I was thinking about trying it. I have been checking here. Hoping that someone would review this mask. No one better than you in my opinion. I think I’ll stick my P10. 🤔

Is there a divider on the nasal slot or just one open slot?
Divider. Two nare holes. Personally wish the nose cradle was more like the Evora.

Well if they do/when they do, they can count on you to let them know which plug-in they will need. And to not forget to have an extention cord handy. :wink:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your CPAP machine is NOT a closed system or 100% effective at cleaning the air that you're breathing, and the air being filtered is NOT 100% free of some types of particles.

YMMV
Neither is the air one breathes ALL day long. :wink:
