I get the "For Her" mask kit, and it only includes size XS, S, and M.   Nurse thought S looked right, from looking at me.  I quickly moved up to the M, just to get enough oxygen through it.  They once accidentally sent a "For Him"  (i.e.  not designated For Her) kit once, so I got a chance to try the size L pillows.  Much nicer!  For me, it was also a huge help because MORE AIR goes through it, and I no longer felt suffocated.   I have lots of nasal constriction, so I need the maximum air flow without much "sucking" effort on my part.  Size L pillows has been a huge help!   Also,  they don't go very far into my nose, but rest just inside the nasal opening.  Less skin irritation.  I keep the Lanolin around (a tube will last forever) and occasionally use it again.

Use Lanolin as often during the day as possible.  What is happening is that you are getting micro tears in your skin from the P10 nasal pillows and your skin under your nose not being used to the contact.  This is common when you first start using nasal pillows.  What is not commonly known is that Neosporin is not actually that effective as an antibacterial agent.  There is barely enough medication in there to make a difference.  It can also have the side effect under lots of use to prevent healing.  My advice is to just keep the area clean and use Lanolin during the day as often as possible.  Eventually, your nares (skin under your nose) will adapt and "toughen up" so to speak so that you will not get any further sores from using the P10 daily.  This has also been my own personal experience.
