looking for nasal pillows with a beter head gear

Post by MargyJean » Mon Feb 07, 2011 8:50 am

i like the feel of nasal pillows, but the head gear will not stay on my head. i need one that wraps my head, with a bottom strap that goes below my ears. all the ones i have seen, the straps are above the ears. anybody know of one?

I use a responics nasal pillow and have been getting along great with it. Even though it became apparent I was wearing the headgear inside out! Still, with it inside out the straps came ON my ears and the whole thing was very secure. Wearing as advertised is still not as secure as the wrong way.

So I might be worth putting it all together wrong, just to see if you her better results...

Mary Jean,

There are many "lab rat" fixes that really help with nasal pillows, but you have to give us a hint here--what nasal pillows have you tried????
