Thank you for explaining that it doesn't need to be super tight and that the auto will compensate.

"Who cares about leakage" was exactly what I needed to hear, thanks!

I have a fairly new CPAP user. After two weeks of using the nasal pillow (Lg), the skin around the nares was so painful, that I was unable to sleep at all! I’m going to try some aloe Vera gel and see if that helps.

I've tried two nasal pillows and each one has given me scabs inside my nose. I even tried using nasal canula gel and that did not work either. Do you have any tips for me regarding nasal pillows? Thanks for the info

When I loosen my mask, I get leaks. The leak does not bother me, but where the location of the leak bothers me. It happens towards the bridge of my nose and it blows into my eyes and wakes me up. Do you have any suggestions?

I am using the philips dreamwear mask and i am dealing with a sore on the tip of my nose on the left nostril what can i do to treat it?

I’ve been using CPAP for 4 1/2 months, and I have never missed a day. I have no claustrophobia and I enjoy the air pressure when I’m falling asleep… it feels sort of cozy. The problem is I do have pain from the mask. Your video helped a lot. The worst and most upsetting thing is that my fatigue (the reason I had a sleep study in the first place) is still making me miserable. It has not improved at all. My pressure is very low (7–9) and my AHI is below 1 EVERY DAY. It started at 30. Would a higher pressure help with the fatigue? Thanks so much!

Thanks for this video! I have the nasal pillows and I just started using it last Friday and I noticed a sore on the opening of my left nostril. What do you mean by there needs to be a lip on the nostril? Thanks so much!!!
