Update: for the past 3 nights, during the 3am hour (hence why I'm posting this at 4am), the mask seal has completely broken and I can't seem to get it to sit right on my fact after that. I'm hoping the Padacheek mask liners will help. I've tried tightening the straps to where it's slightly uncomfort...

Okay, I had nooooooooooooo idea what I was getting into when I started this thread lol!

In all seriousness, many threads slightly deviate into a little bit of no-harm humor. I apologize for hijacking your thread.

Oh, no! It was the best part of my internetting today.

Side note about padacheek.com for newbies who might not know about Karen who owns padacheek.com. Karen is a cpap user herself. She started this company because of the problems she had with her own cpap masks and straps. If she doesn't have something you need....call her and have a chat...she might ...

And they muffle face farts quite nicely.

This gave me the loudest laugh I've had all morning, so thanks for that!

Congratulations on the mask success. The drooling may reduce with time but not totally ever go away...It's been nearly 11 years now that I have been on cpap and it still happens every now and then. If it gets too annoying considering adding a mask liner from padacheek.com. They are well made and ca...

Hi, all! Some of you may remember my trials and tribulations trying to court a nasal pillow mask. I tried a couple, and they just didn't work for me, so I sent a long and exasperated message to my CPAP vendor in a last ditch effort to save that relationship because, even though I freaking work with ...

This is the WRONG way to do business. DUMP THEM. Yeah, I think I have to. I'm just really nervous about this, as it took five months from the completion of my second sleep study (second because they couldn't get the titration settings to a consistently therapeutic level during the first, even at th...

Mask appropriateness depends almost entirely on how it FITS YOUR FACE. If the current DME is no help, you need to take your business elsewhere. And let them know why. See, that's the thing. They just mailed the mask to me. No fitting. And in the sleep lab, which was not connected in any way to the ...

Hi, all! Update: so I contacted my CPAP vendor about my mask frustrations, and they said they never should have sent me the mask I was using as it wasn't suitable for my pressure level. So, they sent me the Swift FX mask with XS, S, and M pillows. I think I've pretty much settled on the M after goin...

Please look carefully at the front of your machine where it says the model name, Does it say AirStart 10 or AirSense 10....AutoSet??? If it says AirSense 10 AutoSet....that choice is down in the R section of the equipment menu. There's a huge difference between the AirStart models and the Air Sense...

Did you click on the submit button after you filled out your equipment profile? It's still not showing up and usually when that happens the submit button didn't get clicked on or it didn't stick. I don't know why it's not showing up. It showed up when I went to my profile, so I just copy/pasted it ...

I suspect you need to try a medium size. Not just the size of your nostril opening, but also the space between them is critical with these type of masks... I think the ResMed N30 might be a mask you would want to try... Yes! I think I'm going to call my CPAP vendor and get some medium cushions. I t...

If the smallest nasal pillow is trying to crawl up inside your nose then you need to go larger in size and not smaller. Nasal pillow masks like the P10 rest gently against the outside of the nostril opening. Absolutely nothing touches the inside of the nose. I have worn extra small nasal pillows in...

i just wanted to highlight that one piece that i quoted above. i really, really and REALLY hope that he wasn't talking about SoClean. if so, and you haven't purchased it, don't buy it! it's a total waste of money, it's dangerous and it doesn't do anything that you can't do with soap and water. I di...
