Who can give some feed back on the new pillows?

Give us just a little time....they only became available for order a couple of days ago...I should get mine tomorrow.
Several people did order them but we just haven't got them yet to be able to offer any thoughts.

Okay, I'll wait. Hello Pugsy. I ordered one from the host and got one of the last two. I'm just hoping to get good reports because it's a little guy.

If you have one and it works well for you, it doesn't matter how it is for others really. You may get some tips but you are in a position to give others some tips!

Thanks, Hawthorne - just hoping someone might have experience with it prior to my receiving mine. Others thoughts do matter when you purchase; ie., if a mask is rated 2 stars, you wouldn't jump on the phone and order one now, would you?

If it only rated 2 stars, no, I would not jump on the phone and order it but you bought it before it was rated at all I expect.

We will expect some feedback from you. Did you try it last night?

As usual it looks like mine are taking the scenic route from Houston to SW Missouri.
Didn't come in today's mail. Probably tomorrow.

The last item I got, Pugsy, came via USPS and took eight days. I requested FX this trip. I'm still liking the Aloha but can't seem to be able to resist trying new Resmed stuff

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I think I'm gonna luv the AirFit. Tonight I'll sleep with it, but I just tried it on and it seems like it's a "slimmed down" Pilairo, meaning it's much less bulky, and the pillows seem wonderful and soft. I think this is a keeper! It might even knock the Pilairo out of the No. 1 spot. The headband is extremely comfortable. I usually wear a loose chinstrap to anchor the Pilairo and I'll do that with this one too, but so far, this mask is a delight! BTW, I've sent the last 10 masks back.

I love this mask. Last night I slept with it on. The headgear didn't move much like the Swift FX, the pillows fit well. No leak even when I keep turning. This is the best mask I have so far.

I slept with this mask last night too. Love it! I am still pretty new to cpap therapy, and I started with a FF mask. I toss around a LOT in my sleep. I go from back to both sides to stomach and back several times a night and not once did I lose the seal! The outside of my nostrils were slightly tender this morning, so I may try a bigger size tonight (xs last night) So far, so good!

I would think you would decrease the size. I am in a small and am getting tenderness. I was going to try the xs tonight to see if I reduce the tenderness. Why would you increase the size? I have never used nasal pillows before so I am totally clueless. I use it the first night and it is fine, second night tenderness, third night really tender and stop using it. Let my nose recover and try again. I bought some Ayr Gel and it seems to help. I love this mask. I toss and turn and toss and turn and it goes with me much better than my nasal mask. But I really need to figure this part out. (Along with a better chin strap, but that is another issue).

with nasal pillows i start with a size larger than my nares
move down in size if needed
soreness can come from movement (friction) when too small
or from sensitivity the the material composition
ayr gel is ok to reduce friction
some like lansinoh better
a little dab will do ya

Lanisoh? Is it the stuff they use for nursing mothers? I will try a bigger size tonight instead of a smaller size. I will let you know the results. Thank you for responding.
