Swift pillows mask not so swift

Post by John O » Mon Nov 30, 2009 10:03 am

The foam strap snapped in two last night at 4:AM. This mask worked as long as it remained in place, but the strap around the ears drove me nuts and then the final insult when I woke up and attempted to adjust it and the strap broke apart. I am going to look at the Nasal Aire product. I got used to the nose pillows setup and I slept somewhat better. It is just it's dubious quality and it is over priced in my opinion.

YES!!! Try the Nasal Aire II !!! You may just love it! I tried the Swift LT and hated it. You may just find the NasalAire is the one for you! Nope, not a paid spokesperson Just can't imaging using anything else.

If you're not sure, you can sign up for Babbette's test drive. Your only cost would be the postage to send to the next person. Babbette has a whole "manual" for using the NasalAire, with great tips and pics. I don't know how to post the links, but just do a search and you will certainly find her. Good Luck!

I saw the respitary care practitioner today and she swapped the old one for a new Opus Vigor 8 which I believe will work just fine.
