@trach I agree, drinking plenty of water definitely helps. I drink almost a gallon a day and still deal with a lot of mucus and congestion. It can be overwhelming at times! I actually wear an 11/24. It’s not usually difficult for me to insert or remove, but I do use a little jelly to help it slide in easier.

In the 33 years I have had it I only experienced one episode where it came
out. I had a terrible cough with excessive drainage. It popped out just
like a cork.
