Nasal pillow moisture issue even with humidity off

Post by Trainer4346 » Sun Jun 18, 2023 8:49 pm

I'm more than 2 months in and still no luck. The dreamwear nasal pillow is the closest I've found to suitable but I wake up itchy or uncomfortable because of how damp it gets. Not sweat just condensation. No gurgling in tube. Just damp and irritating. Thoughts?

if there isn't one available, ask if she'll make one. (seriously, karen is good people!)

don't if it'll help with your pillows but it certainly helped with my p10 pillows.

good luck!
