I've finally been baptized

Well last night was my first experience with rain out. What a pleasant experience to wake up @ 4:30 am with water in your nose and then breathing it in. When I use the nasal pillows, which is what I've been using for the past 3 nights (working well, no leaks), I crank up the humidity to "4", but last night the temp went down into the high 40's, so needless to say rain out was inevitable. I will make a hose cover this weekend as it only gets colder here as the months go on. And I guess adjust the humidity. I am sleeping better now, but having some more difficulty than with the masks as far as mouth breathing. I tend to do it more with the pillows...anyone else have that experience? I know all about the taping....we'll see. I definitely do not want to do a full mask, the CL2 is so comfortable compared to Ultra Mirage II nasal interface, forget ff. We'll see if I have that same opinion when I get my first cold.

That was my attitude until the Hybrid Mask was introduced. Keep it in the back of your mind as you continue on this trip to get the right therapy.

What Rooster said. Seriously. I was using the CL2 and having problems with mouth breathing. I was up for a new mask and got a Hybrid. It has saved me! I had never been able to keep a mask on all night, even the CL2 was only lasting 4 to 5 hours and I was waking up with the mask on my nightstand every morning or in the middle of the nigh because I was mouth breathing. I couldn't handle the idea of taping my mouth. With the Hybrid, it took a few weeks but now I am sleeping with it through the night. I have had no rainout as I had with the CL2 and if you mouthbreath, who cares? That's what the Hybrid is made for! I love it!
