I slept about 1 1/2 hours and then had to take it off. Before going to sleep I kept it on about one hour. Does this get any better? My right nostril felt really tender. The left one didn't hurt as much. I sleep on my right side.

I really like the feel of the LT. I love not having the strap across my forehead. My nasal mask felt so cumbersome on my face and was so hot feeling.

Can anyone give me advice on what to do or how long it took you to get use to the Swift LT after using nasal masks? Thanks
I am also new to the Swift Lt for her.. The pressure of the air going into my nostrils I do not mind it is only when I exhale, and feel some resistance that is what bothers me..I am hoping when I get a machine and mask of my own(had to turn mine back in after the weeks trial)that I will be able to get use to it..Not sure how long I will have to wait to get results back from the doctor.. Though at the same time in 10 years they have certainly improved in the masks and machines..

(This is just my idea!) - why not rather increase the humidifier
level a little at a time - say from 2 - 2½ ?

You may also want to try some lansinoh (nipple grease) it does help keep the soreness to a minimum ,at least I think so
