Twilight NP and nostril (nare) shape

Post by pippyn » Mon Apr 30, 2007 6:53 am

I'm intrigued with the Twilight NP but I read somewhere that it works better with rounded nostrils. Does it work at all with slotted ones? Anyone with experience care to share? Thanks!

Mine are more slotted than round, and they work for me.

groovy! thanks for the input, folks. I'm excited to try it out.

My ultra mirage II which started out for first several months performing pretty good has not been keeping a good seal lately. Every time I roll over, i spend a few minutes working with it get a lock. I've inspected...no holes or tears in the membrane. I'm hoping the different (smaller) interface will mean my bed pillow is less likely to knock the mask out of alignment!
