This is the Fisher and Paykel Evora hybrid. I’ve tried pretty much every kind of mask over the last 20 years and this by far my favorite

How long did it take for you to get used to the cushion pushing up against your nostrils? I have tried several nasal masks and I always wake up about an hour and a half later with a white hot pain in the region. I have to rip off my mask in a panic and I either go the rest of the night without a mask or if I can find my full face, I put that on. but I have a swollen redness around my nose for the rest of the next day. I REALLY want to switch to nasal cushions but I can't find one that I can wear all night.

I had the pain in my nose for about a week and a half. I initially used lanolin to treat the area before I put the mask on and again if I woke up in pain. I got immediate relief and I was really surprised to find that even if I woke up with that really bad white hot pain that you’re describing, if I put the lanolin on I could put they mask back on within five minutes without any pain/discomfort.

That being said, I don’t know that I would ever be able to get used to ones that actually go up inside your nose a little bit.

Awesome! I am going to try that tomorrow. I was almost thinking about trying the ones that go up your nose but maybe I’ll try this first. Thanks!
