Hmmm, now that you mention it, it does look like it might make a better cpap mask than some I've tried.
LOL, I dug that picture up a long time ago because.... a sleep doctor (yes, a SLEEP doctor) absolutely refused to prescribe a Breeze for one of his adult patients because he (the doctor, no less) said it would cause "pig nose". ROTFL!!
Breeze is good - but some irritation...

Re: Breeze is good - but some irritation...
I would recommend smaller nasal pillows. I tried the large size and found that my nose became very sore. I switched to the smaller size and the improvement was great.

I used the nasal pillows for awhile. I, too, would wake up with a real sore nose. At times it would form a scab and bleed. I tried using small pillows, but the smaller ones were hard for me to breathe with. I finally switched to a full nose mask, as I started developing sinus problems, and also, the nasal pillows wouldn't stay in place for me. I like the full nose mask as it seems to stay in place. I have the mask where you can adjust it. If it's adjusted right, air doesn't blow into your eyes. What I hate sometimes is that when I turn on my side, the hose gets caught on something, so I have to "take it with me" when I turn over. Wouldn't it be nice to have a hoseless mask? Hee hee.
