Newbie question; I thought the nasal pillows were entirely out side your nose, but the instructions show them partly inside the nose. which is the correct way?

The pillows themselves are on the outside of your nose. The top of the nozzle protrudes slightly into your nare, but shouldn't be touching anything on the inside.

Hi,

the litle prongs you see coming from the pillow, filt slightly into the nares of the nose. Here is a video at youtube that resmed has put out to show how to put on the Swift FX properly.

You can see it on this video by resmed.
