Get the Airtouch n30i which is the same as this but with fabric straps and a fabric piece that hugs your nose instead of silicone.

I'm at year 7 with my CPAP and I Love it. I'm also a mouth breather. Highly recommend the Phillips DreamWear Full Face set up. I has the hose out the top of the head, like the one you have, but covers the mouth & sits under your nose.
As for the irritation on your skin, I have found that happens a lot more often when I use the humidity function. Now I only use it if I'm sick. The rest of the time I don't put any water in the tank and I'm just fine.
One of my favorite things about wearing my CPAP is that I can sleep ALL the way under the blankets. Like full burrow ๐

Vaseline before use. I do it every night and I donโt get the irritation anymore.

37 events/hr, side sleeper, mouth breather - been using the f30i air comfort. Down to 0.2-1/hr. My only complaint is that drool

Airtouch F40 and airfit f40 are hybrid masks (nose fits under nostrils) and goes over the mouth. It's silicone and very comfortable...no rubbing issues. The Airtouch one is brand new and has fabric over the silicone for even more comfort. I'm getting mine soon. If you want to see the Airfit F40, I have some videos showing it. ๐ Good luck!

Anyone dealing with central sleep apnea?!? I was just diagnosed and majority of mine are all central. And I donโt like itโฆ what do you mean my brain isnโt telling my body to breathe!! Thereโs not many videos about it so just curious if anyone else is dealing with the same thing. I keep jolting awake.. almost like an adrenaline rush, I can feel myself stop breathing

Girl I literally canNOT breathe with a nose mask, I genuinely donโt know how ppl use nose pillow masks. Iโve used the simplus full face mask and the siesta full face mask and am a stomach sleeper. If a stomach sleeper I highly recommend the siesta 3 full face mask!! It stays on my face when stomach sleeping and the side of my face is pushing on the pillow with NO AIR LEAKS (which is super important especially for your eye health). The simplus face mask kept leaking air due to it not staying sealed with my face on its side as I slept on my stomach.

I had a similar sleep study with an AHI of 40. I'm a side sleeper and mouth breather, so I've been using the Resmed f30i hybrid face mask for about two weeks. It's wonderful!!
My AHI was 80. I donโt know how I was making it through the night ๐

Vaseline on your nose. I use a nose pillow too. a little but of Vaseline helps with the irritation and dryness

I started last week too. They gave me an N20 (over the nose nasal) and same. Red and irritated anywhere the silicone on the mask touches. Sinus issues means I'm also breathing through my mouth so I need a new mask. Advice to me was get one with a "memory foam" cushion not silicone.

Hellooo. Iโve worked in the sleep medicine world for like 7 years now. Definitely try a full face mask. Your DME company should 100% switch out your mask for free. I hope you start feeling allllll of the benefits once you get that mask swapped out!! ๐

Getting used to the nose pillows takes a week or so. It will get better! Try a chin strap to prevent your mouth from falling open. And less tight on the strap. I put it on loosely and turn on the machine. Only tighten to remove leaks, doesnโt have to be as snug as youโd think

The airtouch n30i with the fabric is great, I still get a little irritation so I put aquaphor on my nose every night and havenโt had any irritation since.

Do you have a medium. try a small or the N30i nose part will fit in your head gear

This feels oddly specific for me, as Iโm watching this in bed wearing my cpap mask. ๐ I tried the one youโre using and I didnโt even make it a full night. I hated it. Now I use the dreamware nasal pillow mask. It took a few days for my nostrils to get used to it, but itโs fine now. My very first mask style fully covered my nose. No issues for years until I had tear duct surgery this summer and needed a different mask that wouldnโt cover my stitches.

My dr said to put some Vaseline or something similar around my irritated parts on my nose and it has helped

I have the Phillips respironics dreamwear one and love it. It is a nasal one but bother me as bad as that one. But if you are a mouth breather you may want a full face mask ๐ ๐
