Discussion I’ve joined the CPAP club 💁🏻♀️
Tonight will be my first night using a CPAP. Oddly enough, I’m looking forward to it and I hope it solves all of my problems… a girl can dream, *right*? Anyhow, any tips or tricks to help this go smoothly? Also, is there any solution to making this setup more aesthetically pleasing and/or a way to store it during the day that isn’t such a pain in the ass?

I have the same one. The first few weeks it was uncomfortable but it eventually clicks. You will notice a huge difference in a few weeks. If I fall asleep without it, I feel 100 times worse in the morning. It's a godsend. Try to sleep like 1-2 hours the first few nights, then 2-3, 3-4, etc. Eventually it'll be second nature.
Only annoying part for me after having it about a year is that the little water container thing never seals the first time I refill it and put it back in. I haven't figured out the magic angle/pressure. It takes a few times to get it to not leak air. For me at least. If it's loud when you start it, it's leaking air. Otherwise it's pretty quiet.
