Breeze headgear with nasal pillows doesn't have all those fiddly straps, and so can be quickly put on and taken off with one hand for bathroom trips and amorous cuddling.

Breeze often gets highest praise from users on higher pressure settings, who have most problems with leaky nasal masks.

Remember that the accordion bellows and oval bud on each pillow inflate slightly in use, to provide conforming cushioning and a proper seal.

The Breeze w/np is often reported as the best fix that side sleepers find.

When properly adjusted there is little sensation of wearing anything, because there is so little skin contact. When I wake I often put a hand to my face to confirm that I'm still wearing the headgear -- the exhaust is silent, unlike that in most masks.

Some folks use a dab of KY jelly or Neosporin - I've never had to use an ointment. Posters here have said that petroleum jelly should not be used on headgear components, either because it is not water soluble, or because it may discolor plastic materials.
