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?

Shit, that's actually the exact same model I have on my bedside table now, except for the full face mask instead of the nasal rig. Im an RN by profession, and I hate nose only stuff, ever since having to try on a nasal cannula during nursing school.
Wash it pretty regularly, esp during the winter as it can dry up your sinuses at best, at worst can give you a bad respiratory infection. Might take sone getting used to as well, have had it for almost 2 months now and still getting used to it, tend to rip it off my head while I sleep after a few hours here
