I was using the Breeze successfully for about 2 and a half
months, and then all of sudden it started leaking like crazy and
blowing into my eyes and onto my forehead. My first thought
was that I had cracked the piece that holds the nasal pillows or
had a leak in the hose, but after much investigation it appears
that the leak is coming from the top of my right nostril. I
already went up once from size medium to large pillows, and
now I have the extra large on order, but I'm very frustrated. I'm
an average-sized woman; are my nostrils enlarging this quickly?
My nostrils seem to be long and skinny compared to the shape
of the pillows. I've started using a fat squishy eye mask to try to
keep the air out of my eyes, but that's not particularly
comfortable. I'm just hoping that when the extra large pillows
come that I can find an adjustment that works without leaking
again. Then it will just be that hard hot plastic shell on the back
of my head annoying me.

As for your problem, i.e. hurting your nose, maybe you're
wearing it very tight to compensate for the pillows being too
small now. We'll probably all end up with gigantic nostrils from
these stupid things.
