Newbie- most comfortable nasal pillow/mask for small woman

Post by Sleepcatz » Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:35 am

I am getting my first CPAC and need to buy a nasal pillow or mask. I am not a mouth breather and am hoping a nasal pillow will work. I know everyone is different, but is there a nasal pillow or mask that is popular for women with smaller faces? That would give me a place to start anyway on this journey.

A suggestion would be the Airfit P10.

This has happened lots of time. Some of us are believed when they say there was a problem entering the site; some of us are not and get defensive.

Resmed makes "For Her" versions of masks.
Swift FX nasal pillow mask for Her.
and the
Swift FX Nano For her, nasal mask. (the one I use). The straps are supposed to be made for a woman's size, and the straps are light pink and grey.

Also, the pillows and nose cushions come in different sizes. So you can get the "for her" headgear with a small or x-small nose pillow. My Nano nose cushion is a size small.
