I did a 5 minute jerry rigging myself before buying a hose hanging thingy. Will test tonight. Last night i slept with a cotton pad taped to my upper lip, it did help to keep the nasal pillows in the right angle for my nostrils.

I use a lanyard around the tube and a Command hook. That can be relocated without damaging the wall, but your system has a similar function. May be overkill to stick a hook that can lift an engine in the ceiling, but it's functional. Another accessory I really like is the SnuggleSkins CPAP tube cover. It fits end to end and makes the tube quiet and more comfortable against the skin.

I now use DreamPorts, but before that, I used and liked the P30i.  I have small nostrils but tried all three sizes and eventually found, oddly, that the large was the most comfortable.

For those interested I love the Bleep Dreamports.  They are fiddly to learn to use, but well worth the effort.  I would never switch back.

I tried sleeping with my jerry rigged hose holder and it did hold my P10 in a somewhat better position since the hose didnt drag them down onto my upper lip. But still the sound of my breathing is very loud and i have to work to breathe. If i lift them up a bit the airflow gets much much better. So i must try Large. Otherwise the angle of the pilows on the P10 just doesent work for my nostrils.

I will also check out the P30i and N30i. Maybe even the N30.

Bleep Dreamports isnt avalible in EU it seems. And ordering them from u.s gets very costly.
