I've used Nasal Aire II for almost two years. I have written so many times on these boards about making my own elastic head band and firm loops to control the tubing where I want it, I imagine people are tired of reading that.

Isn't the Adams Circuit the one that has the hose connection going out from one side at the nosepiece? I sleep on my stomach or side, expecially right side. I sure wouldn't like that ridged hose at my face. Perhaps I am thinking about another interface.

You ask about minimizing soreness or redness from nasal pillows. I think the secret is: Be sure you have a good fit, and either buy or make a strap configuration that fits and controls the tubes, so that they don't push the nosepiece away from your face due to the air pressure and your movement.With the N/A II, as a side sleeper, you could reconfigure and attach your CPAP hose to run down behind your back instead of looping those little tubes back around to fasten to the hose on your chest. I've used mine that way for most of my time on the machine, with my own elastic band set-up. By the way, "I am woman" and hair style is an issue!
