RE: Nasalaire II prong choices.
CPAPxChange has a set which comes with all of the prong sizes. Yes, it was overkill, but I was able to try all of the possibilities that way (who KNEW that my nostrils were that big!) and it was only $10 more.

I ditched the poorly made, but clever, headgear, and use Babette's idea of making guides from Radio Shack velcro quick-wraps which stick to my chinstrap.

Last night was great - good side sleeping for the first time since April 4 (or before, I guess.)
The way the tubes are routed, they're not under my face, so pinching isn't even in the mix.
