I have both the Swift LT and II, and have problems with both. The straps on the Swift II slip, which is annoying and have to be tightened at least twice each night, plus they shift up my head during the night. Result: leaks.
Pressure is set at 9, sio that probably doesn't add significantly to the problem.
I've thought of stapling them, once I find the correct tension, but that seems so...permanent.
Any suggestions on fixes or alternatives will be appreciated.

Re: Nasal pillows and leaks
Some people here have had good luck using the PAP CAP. It seems to stabilize the headgear. I'm not sure if it will actually replace the headgear for your particular mask.

Frank,
As an alternative to stapling: Wrap some velcro around your velcro adjustments to hold them in place.
The PapCap, as Bev suggested, is a possibility. I have the Swift LT mask and a use PapCap.
My headgear works better without the cap. But I need the chinstrap. Your Mileage May Vary.

I am not a Hindu or a god, just Mark from New Jersey. But the CPAP mask makes me look like Ganesha.
