Re: PR Wisp nasal mask
Thanks for these great, detailed reviews. It sounds like the Wisp is definitely worth a try.

Pat, you shouldn't have to sacrifice your mustache! I wear my Wisp with my mustache.apw5746 wrote:The hair issue doesn't bother me as I shave the head, and the seal is great. If I have to, I will shave my mustache if necessary. When I can feel my pulse in my face area, I know I've tighten the straps to much. It's just the claustrophobic feeling having something over my nose. Additionally, the air I'm breathing feels warmer than when I use the Swift FX. I don't a humidifier at this time. There has not been any nose hurting from the nasal pillows or congestion, I need to figure out how to get used to it.

If necessary, try a narrow headband over your mouth, just below the base of the wisp triangle.
I've posted pics of it in related threads.

Re: PR Wisp nasal mask
I love the Wisp! Been using it since it first came out.
I make little mask liners to use under the rubbery part and still have no leaks.
It's small and allows you to read or watch TV.
For me there are no pressure points, it doesn't hurt anywhere on my face.
I'm a side sleeper and it works good with my Apena pillow.
I use the fabric headgear and I pull all my hair up and above the bottom pad on the back.
If I feel air leaking from the bottom I do as Nate said, raise the back up a bit. I never change the straps, but do wash it once a week because the fabric one stretches a little bit.
This is a great little mask!
