Wisp

Post by trytryagain » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:11 am

My Wisp was sent out to me yesterday. I've been using Mirage fx nasal with success, but I'm always up for something new. I'll post back after trial.

Recieved it, tried it for 3 nights. I was extremely optimistic and really like the size and and feel of it, but it didn't work out for me. For some reason both the smal/medium and the large just felt like it was pressissing on my nostrils and felt as though inhaling was a struggle. It also bothered my nose bridge. I returned it today and picked up the Fisher and Paykel Eson. I'll be trying that one out tonight.

That's a bummer, I'm interested in the Wisp as well because it looks so un-intrusive. Did you use the plastic or fabric version?

Thanks for the info, and sorry it didn't work out for you!

I should receive the fabric version Thursday or Friday.

Has anyone tried this mask with any success??? The advertisements look great, but they always do. Anyone have a success story with this mask?

I used the fabric version. Don't get me wrong, it will probably work out just fine for many. I'm interested in hearing other views.

Thanks for posting. I have to go in and pick mine up.
Right now, I'm wearing the ESON and I love it. It is so light weight and the diffuser/elbow is genius.

I'm curious.
How soft/flexible is the cushion on the Wisp?
Eson?

It doesn't appear to be/look, "soft"... which is my first concern on the Wisp. I'll post when I receive it.

I have a Wisp and love it. Granted I'm a newbie and this is my first mask but I was able to get used to it right away and rarely have any leak issues. My only complaint was the silicoln straps left marks from laying on them. I covered them in some fleece/velcro covers and that has gotten much better. I wish I had the chance to try the fabric one, but my supplier doesn't seem to have that one.

Very happy to hear a success story!

Your supplier should be able to order a fabric one for you.

They really need to make the alternate piece available without having to buy an entire mask.

I think she is talking about the piece that fits over your nose.
