SwiftLT nasal pillows Dual Wall played up!

Post by Marietjie » Thu May 13, 2010 1:17 pm

The last two nights I thought I am starting to develop a cold!?!
Not long after falling asleep my right nostril started feeling congested.
I tossed and turned for hours.
The second night the same story.(Funny enough no congestion during the day!)
Then this morning when I washed my pillows I inspected the inside.
Oh my word! I noticed that the one hole is much smaller
compared to the other. I then discovered that the inside of the dual wall
was turned to the inside, thus restricting the normal air flow!
Now I will for sure check the pillows every night!

Both walls should be parallel to each othe in the same direction.

After washing and rinsing mine, I'll usually invert the inner wall for quicker and more effctive air drying ... but always make sure to pop it back in the correct position before use.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Oh my goodness, I just did the same thing a couple of nights ago. I couldn't figure out why all of a sudden it felt like my right nostril was stuffed up. The next morning, when it was daylight, I took a good look at my mask and discovered that one of the thingies was flipped inside out. Good grief.

H'm - thanks for the tip DreamStalker!
Especially if staying at a place with high humidity weather conditions!
