Swift Nasal Pillow Headgear Straps

Post by rxcpap » Mon Jan 15, 2007 1:24 pm

I am using the Swift Nasal Pillow system, and I find that the strap buckle on the rear strap, hits me right in the back of the head. When I lay down on my back the buckle is uncomfortable. I am thinking of taking the buckle off and adding some velcro. Anyone else have a solution?

Thanks...

Pad-a-cheeks makes a pad expressly for this application, that MANY have found considerable relief from.

Just PM "padacheeks" here, and you'll get plenty of info. regarding these wonderful comforts.

Hope this helps.

padacheek buckle pads for teh Swift! They work great.

ALSO..... if you tend to lay more on one side than the other, did you know you can loosen one side of that back strap and tighten the other side and that will move the buckle off center?
