RE: New CPAP User - Nasal Pillow Mask Anxiety
In my experience, masks made a difference. I've been using nasal masks due to more consistently lower CA values.

I have tried many masks; P30i gives me the best results but, it took me several days to get used to it. Stick with what works best for you.

Thanks, plakky. I’m going to look into that right now.

KeepingItSimple - the price for the Dreamwear headgear on Amazon is very reasonable. (Horizontal hair part or ponytail to hold down strap and/or "vet wrap" adhesive bandage also are additional "helps" for the sliding-up issue). Good luck!!

The sliding up is fixed with headgear with arms. Just search Amazon for that and it does not slip up.
