Tried the Wisp last night.

[quietmorning]

Hi, Nate, the sensitive area goes from right beneath my glasses frame to right to the end of the nose bone. . .I think glasses don't bother me because I wore glasses during the time when I broke my nose - and the glasses actually helped to set it. The nerve pain from it isn't as intense as sciatica, but it's very close to the same type of pain when something touches my nose. I can't take it for very long. If nothing is touching my nose, I don't feel it at all. So, it covers a pretty big area of my nose as far as where something can sit. It would need to sit up where my glasses sit in order for me to wear it. . . or on the very tip of my nose.

Well that explains it then. I can understand why you would need to rule out the Wisp which, one way or another, straddles the nose.

Good luck with your next choice! And keep us posted.

Regards, Nate

I wanted to try the wisp because it is designed to work with the PRS1 - sixty series - and I wanted to see if the setting for it would improve my apnea treatment. Since all three masks that I could wear failed for me, I just went back to the Swift FX - as it works very well for me. I probably wont stray again unless they stop making the swift fx or something.

Having a beard and moustache limits my choice of full face masks...however, at 10 - 14cm pressure, I haven't had any problem making the Swift FX work.

By the way, have decided that I'm between medium and large, so will be trying the "cut down a medium to make something larger than medium but smaller than large" thing on a set of nasal pillows *smile*. Don't have the proper tool yet, though.

Fingernail clippers?

Good thought. However, I think I need a straight, very clean cut.

true that. Hope you find what your looking for. . ..maybe some baby fingernail scissors. . .can't remember if they are curved or not.

I have had success with the FitLife TOTAL FACE mask. It rings your entire face and makes no contact with the bridge of your nose.
At only 10 cm/h20 the total face mask can fill a little "smothery," but it is an alternative.

I don't understand the purpose of trimming the medium pillow. The part that seals at the
nares will be exactly the same shape and size. The "cone" will just not extend as far inside
of the nostril.

Am I missing something?

Yes, that's why you don't take much off, but since the pillows taper, it also makes the opening a scooch larger. So you end up with something between medium and large in terms of the opening, and not much difference in how far it goes into your nose.

That's the theory, it didn't originate with me *smile*, I saw it here:
