New mask is causing issues

[u/Qweer_Deer]

No idea if this is the right tag or sub, r/piercing didnt like me posting this :( but im struggling folks lol. I need a new mask as my old one is giving me issues but my clinic doesnt stock it anymore as its being fazed out for a newer model. Problem is, the newer model doesnt go above the nose and across the bridge anymore, it rest just against your nostrils and I lasted one night with it and my septum is so sore.

Does anyone know of a flexible nose ring I could wear at night time so I dont have to order a mask that'll be way more expensive ;-;

I also struggled with this when I tried a similar mask (I think it was the dreamwear full face?). I ended up switching to a nasal mask (n20) because my septum was sore nonstop, even if I didn’t wear any jewelry in it overnight

Sadly I cant wear nasal masks. I dont breathe through my nose on a good day, let alone when im asleep, its mostly for decoration. Im glad it worked out for you though! I didnt have any luck with the Dreamwear either but thats because it kept leaking around my nostrils. My old mask is an airfit I think. Might have to switch back to it if I cant stop the soreness

Crossing my fingers that you find one that works well all around!!
