Hi - on the two photos you can see how I modified my nasal pillow mask to prevent unwanted leaks.
I used 'O-ring seals', tape and a cork (plug) This is working for me ! ! ! no more leaks. Good Day - Marietjie (Thank you DreamDiver for advising me how to get the pics on CpapTalk.com)

That is GREAT!! My Swift II was leaking in the exact same spots. I just got a new mask (luckily for free), but that is a great idea. I may have to bring the Swift back with a few modifications!
GOOD WORK!!! Who says some ole fashion rigging can't "get er' done?" HA!

I used a plain 'ol baggie. Cut 1/4" or 3/8" strips, about three inches long. Wrapped them around the end plug and the hose input before inserting them. Worked "ok", but I'm looking for something better. The nice part is that the extra friction keeps the whole assembly from turning freely.
