Hi all! This is my first post here. I have been using my CPAP for about 3 months now and using mostly the F&P Eson. I am a side sleeper so nasal mask seemed to be the way to go. I like the mask and it works well with only one problem. It rides up to right up under my nose during the night to irritate my nostrils. It's not so bad that it wakes me up but its just tender in the morning. My sleep therapist hasn't had anyone else with this problem so we have been trying different things and have tried different masks that didn't work as well as the Eson so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has had this problem and if so, were you able to fix it? How? If not, what mask did you change to?
Thanks so much in advance!
F&P Eson Problem
Re: F&P Eson Problem
I would look at nasal pillows, I use the P10 and love it. I'm also a side sleeper...

Re: F&P Eson Problem
I wonder if Karen's mask liner for the Eson might help with the discomfort...since you like the Eson otherwse.
It's listed in the menu...almost down at the bottom of the page under "Mask Liner nasal Other".

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: F&P Eson Problem
The padacheek liner really helped make the Eson more comfortable for me. I liked not having to situate or align the single use liners every night. Also, the padacheek didn't slip around.
If you really want to treat yourself, the padacheek strap covers made the whole thing more comfortable.
