Getting ready to try the Nasal Aire tonight...any tips?

[Victoria]

I've been using the Swift LT for her, which is fine and dandy, and I've been happy. No problems whatsoever. But since I've never shied away from looking a gift horse in the mouth, I thought, OK, things are good....but could they be BETTER???

Let me introduce you to my vain side: I hate the way my hair gets smushed down with the LT headgear, and in general, I hate things on my head AT ALL (and yes, I know it is much less intrusive than the FF headgear), so I thought I'd give the Nasal Aire a whirl.

Looking for any tips from Nasal Aire users.....Babette???

Dude... (shaking head)

Write me offlist and I'll send you my Test Drive Manual, with pictures and info and everything.

Here's how I wear it:

There's lots of info here:

But I've got even more in the Manual. But it's not online. I have to attach it to an offline email.

Glad you got one, but jeez, you coulda test drove it!!!

Oh I'm always that pale.

Actually, now that I have a NEW AND IMPROVED SETUP, thanks to Karen at http://www.padacheek.com, I'm gonna have the BF take pix of THE REAL ME and post them.

My new setup involves hose covers for the main hose and side hoses from Padacheeks, and a new Ruby Adjustable Chinstrap. It's a vast improvement over the old Topaz, and I FINALLY GOT MY EARS FREE of the painful Deluxe Chinstrap.

Don't get me wrong - I can sleep like a LOG with the Deluxe. But it does sorta hurt my ears. The Ruby is cut out PERFECTLY for my ears.

Cheers,
Babs
