I switched to the p30i about 3 weeks ago, really like it.
Wondering what kind of life other users are getting from the nasal pillows before switching them out?
I switched from a p10 and got probably around 6 months, maybe longer from a pair. Hoping the p30i pillows last as long.
Did anyone ever respond to this question? I'm using the p30i and had used the pillows for almost three months, washing it out every other day. Apria indicates that I can get insurance coverage for a new one every two weeks. That seems excessive, but is there a problem I'm missing here? Thanks.
P.S. Still having trouble keeping the headgear strap from sliding up to the top of my head; anyone find a solution? I found the small frame to be too close to my eyes and have stayed with the standard frame.
I didn't get much response about how long the P30i Pillows were lasting.
I'm still on my first pair, so that's 3.5 months and still going. I don't wash them regularly, wipe them down in the morning with a baby wipe.
A few weeks ago they were pretty leaky for a couple nights, so I washed them in Dawn and hot water and they've been good since.

It is excessive. DME's want you to replace items as soon as insurance will pay for another set. This practice is predatory, wasteful, poor for the environment, and inflates prices.
Get a pair or two as spares, but continue using your existing pair until it actually wears out.
