Hi, I was wondering where you find those nostril masks. I cannot use the face mask.

@ecook- I have a local store associated with a medical center that I purchase mt C-pap supplies at which makes it easy to pick up (or return) items. If you go on line there are many places such as Amazon or The CPAP Shop. You can click on nasal masks and there are models set up for both men & women. Happy Zzzz's! Jim @thankful

Hi @ecook - do you have a medical store close to where you live where you could see before you decide? I think Jim @thankful uses the Fisher Paykal Zest nasal mask and may be able to offer some advice. I think this is the one he uses:

There are quite a few others. The following link shows some of the different ones that are available:

@ecook what kind of CPAP mask do you use now?

@ecook. Just looking at your picture. Be wary of a nostril mask. Your nose is not long enough and nostrils not large enough for them. The part that goes inside the nostrils will make your nose sore. A small ResMed whole nose mask with a plastic semi-frame to hold it in position should work well for you, as it does for me.

Hi @ecook
Do you mind sharing alittle more about what types of mask you have tried in the past and what types of mask issues you are experiencing?
