Got any Nasal Aire II extra large prongs to trade?

I got a Nasal Aire II with only three included sizes: SM, M, and LG. I have to work a bit to get the L size into my nares at night....and it's still leaking in some sleep positions.

I can trade you SM, M or L prongs. Thanks!

I just sent my XL to Babette. Should be there in a couple of days. You might contact her and see if she has an extra.

Actually, the sizes I have are M, MP and L.

Who knew my nares were so big....my DME fitted me with a small pillow for my Swift, way back when!! I don't know if I'm just wearing it at the wrong angle, my nose is too "mushy", or if I genuinely need/can use the XL, so I hesitate to buy new (for $32!) at cpap.com if I can find a trade here.

The mask is so comfortable otherwise I'd really like to find a way to make this work.

I bought a full set of Nasal Aire II nose pieces and onlyu use the large. I tried the MP for about a week, and I am willing to donate all tips except large to anyone who can use them. Thanks , Bob

I'm sure Babette would love to have the ones you don't use. She's doing a Test Drive on the Air ll, and passes theme around for free ( minus postage).

check out

viewtopic/t23207/Babettes-Nasal-Aire-II ... 0d3c3b76bc

The test drive is explained at the bottom,

This is great because it lets people try them out for free before buying the mask. I bought a full set of Nasal Aire II nose prongs when getting my mask, so I sent her all my remaining prongs ( except the medium).

mellabella, did you try to contact her? Babette really is the Queen of the Aire ll !

Good Luck!

I PM'ed Bob, and I'll try Babette....I didn't know if she used the XL herself and would keep it for her own use.

Again, anyone with a spare XL is welcome to my M, MP, and L....I'm not sure if I can make this mask work at all so I don't want to pay $40 after shipping for a new XL cushion from cpap.com if I can avoid it with a trade.

Babette uses the large (I think). I know she does not use the XL I know. That is why I told you to check with her. Mine may have been for a second Test Drive and she might let you have it.

MANY THANKS TO SLEEPYDOLL AND 6PTSTAR, who have furnished enough cannulas to start THE GREAT NASAL AIRE TEST DRIVE VERSION 4.0!

Since there are duplicate XL's in this grouping, I'll send one to MellaBella.

Mella, sorry, I didn't read this thread before posting to your PM. It's 6ptStar's box I'm waiting on. I expect it Monday at noon.

I'm shy an MP right now, and then I can get the NAII 4.0 on the road.

BTW, 6ptStar, I think I have a small here with your name on it.

MANY THANKS TO ALL THE GENEROUS FORUM MEMBERS WHO HAVE SENT ME NASAL AIRE II PARTS!!!!!

Babette, I PM'ed you about sending you the extra prongs I have...and throwing in the sizing star if you can use it as well.

You mentioned I might want to try the Nasal Aire I prongs if the XL doesn't work....those are no longer on sale at cpap.com (link goes straight to Nasal Aire II prongs)...is there anyone still selling these, do you know?

The bad news about NAI is you have to buy the whole mask. Let's try the NAII XL on you first. If that doesn't work, and you're sold on the NAII overall, then give the NAI a shot.

Yes folks, I'll take all your spare parts!!! Test Drivers world wide await!

Cheers,
Babs

Aye, there's the rub!

If I end up having to "upgrade" to the Nasal Aire I, at least I'll have some more spare parts to farm out, I guess! In the meantime, crossing my fingers that the XL prong will be the answer.
