Having a hard time getting papcap and CL2 to work together

[TerryB]

I'm not having a good time with my new papcap trying to make it work with my Comfort Lite 2 simple seals.
What I'm hoping is that someone here will have had a similar experience but had enough additional time with them to find the answer.
It feels like the whole thing mash and cap velcroed together wants to slide down my face of course ruining the seals.
My other problem is the assembly is so encircling from below the back of the head to below the chin, how do you get into and out of it to go potty without coming fully awake?

PS I'm sorry to see how quickly a crappy night knocked my for a loop.
I thought with 2 years behind me I'd have more reserves.

I have the same problem with no real answers. It helps if i place the PapCap further up on my forehead, and then
position the CL on forehead, which tends to hold everything higher up. Have patience: they are just dumb
inanimate objects.
I don't know any way of taking the whole thing off to go potty (which i do frequently at night). The CL2 (or the PapCap) doesn't
lend itself to that, so i just pull the hose off. Works well, and you can do it while still remaining mostly asleep.
What i would ask you is: how do you keep the thing positioned on your nostrils????? I revere the Use of the Holy Tights
holding things in place, but wonder how anyone can get by without it. (Damn nostril things slip all over my face w/o
the Holy Tights.)

I'm sorry to say I lied.
Well, I didn't actually lie on purpose, I just forgot that what I use it the "Direct seal" versus the simple seal.
I looked at the cpap.com site and found the difference.
I gave up on simple triangular shaped over the nose leaking masks in my second month of CPAP.
I have used pillow or direct type ever since.


Sorry,
