Nasal Pillow causing windburn in nostrils and on face

Rested, I really don't think there are enough straps in that picture..LOLOL <attempt at humor by fellow Cpap person who's done the strap thing over the years>

Yeah, I really should have added a few more criss-crosses in blue, orange, purple, and puce (whatever the heck THAT is... lol!!)

Hi Rested Gal,
I agree about the pillows needing to be on size larger than the DME tells you. I had major leakage with the size they picked for me and none at all with one size larger.

I have never actually seen any other nasal pillow unit other than the one I have, so I thank you for those pics you included in your post. I have 4 friends with apnea, but all of them use full face masks. Your pics were a real education for me.....those units look so cumbersome and possibly painful if they don't fit over your nose just right. I am thankful once again that I have The Breeze, and not one of those! If it wasn't for having to wear the %$#@! chinstrap, the Breeze would be wonderful. I don't even notice it's there once it's on. I love it.

Indeed you should have. The more straps and connectors, the more we all look like Darth Vader.

Heck, with the Fit Life I've been wearing I don't need any straps to look like Darth Vader.
