CPAP silicone allergy: Anyone know of other options? Solutions?

Welcome @susie25, Thanks for sharing your experience. I've thought about a nose pillow mask but I'm a mouth breather and currently have a full face mask but I've thought about switching. I use a cloth cover on my ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask but I still end up with the proverbial CPAP nose 🙂. I think it's because I have to have the mask too tight for a good seal.

In the past, I've actually used those Breathe Right nasal strips on top of my nose to see if it would help but they are sometimes difficult to remove and make the nose worse. A simple kids easy to remove bandaid might be another solution. Thanks for your suggestion.

Do you mind sharing how you found Connect?

I did look at the cloth masks but with the tube connecting on the front of the face is to loud and unstable for me. My nasal pillows tube connects on top of my head and is much quieter. I did look at the other options but they did not seem like they would solve my problem.
After looking around the internet I came across this blog. I am finding it very helpful.
Thank you for your response.
