Why do my nostrils feel sore or irritated after using the AirFit P10?Updated 2 months ago

Issue: This can happen if the nasal pillows are too large, too tight, or your skin is sensitive to the material.

Solution: Try a smaller pillow size, loosen the headgear slightly, or apply CPAP-friendly nasal moisturizer before bed. Switching to a mask with softer material may also help. 

It is also important to remember that the pillows are suppose to seal the outer nostril. If they are going inside your nostril, you may need to switch masks or increase the size of the pillow.
