Re: Does Vaseline affect the shape of silicon nasal pillows?
There's no such thing, the word "bipap" isn't anywhere on the machine. There are, however, a number of very different Aircurve 10 bilevel machines. My doctor's office called it a BiPAP. Before I wrote this post I went and physically looked at the machine to see what model it is, and it's an AirCurv...

Does Vaseline affect the shape of silicon nasal pillows?
Hey all, first time poster. Does Vaseline affect the shape of silicon nasal pillows? I live in a super dry climate and a little over a month ago I started putting Vaseline in my nose with a cotton swab at night.
