Last night I tried using the gecko nose pad with the wisp, and last night there were some major leaks from using the gecko (that helps keep my nose area from getting red/sore).
Any thoughts on how to use it and to help stop the leaks?
Thanks much

Re: Advice on using gecko nose pad?
I just used mine for the first time and after having the same leaking going on from the mask, I figured this out. I used it upside down from the picture. I also just put it on my nose and then put my mask right on top of it. Tricky but doable with a mirror. I was able to do it again during the night cause I take my mask off to go to the bathroom. It really helped with marks on my face and instead of a bunch of red lines, I just had one larger dent from the gecko on the side I sleep on. It went away fairly quick too. Pleased!

Thanks - ends up I returned mine and instead got the pad-a-cheek liner, which has been great at keeping the red marks off my nose area.jdavidson61 wrote:I just used mine for the first time and after having the same leaking going on from the mask, I figured this out.

Hmmmmm, I've been thinking of trying out the WISP mask to avoid the large red marks/dents from my current nasal mask. Sounds like I may still have the same issue.
