Air leak around nose
It seems that when mositer gets around the nose cups the seal breaks and air leaks around the nose and wakes me up HELP.
Re: Air leak around nose
A couple of things to try:
1. Lanolin ointment (Lansinoh is our favorite). Purple tube, in the "baby" section of Walmart/Target. Just a tiny amount rubbed around the nostril opening will seal that leak right up.
2. An elastic band around your head and under the front of the nasal pillow (cup) will hold it in place better as you move around. 1/8" in. elastic works, or a band cut from either pantyhose or ladies' tights. (The tights will be softer and not make your head sweat.) Search the forum for "tights fix" and you'll find the details.
