I was told to choose the largest pillow that fits. The pillows should not enter your nostrils.

My machine is set to AutoOn. I put my P10 on, the machine turns on, and then, when the pressure is high enough, I gently pull the pillow away from my nose and then release it. The pillow jumps back to my nose and situates itself properly.
