I agree with Pepperkitty, the Ayr gel is great. Just make sure you get the gel from behind the pharmacy counter (not prescription, you just have to ask for it) and not the saline spray, which is useless.

<br />I trim my cannula prongs down so air doesn't blow hard on any one spot so much. Also, if you have a concentrator, definitely get a water bottle next time they service your machine/drop off tubing.

thanks guys!

yeah, I just got a bottle in the mail. I called and they said that it's not standard to give them to people using 2L or less. I'm at 2L now and my nose is so dry! I don't know how others can handle it!

Thanks again for the responses! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I've been on o2 for 5yrs now 2 ltrs. and also have the dry nose issue, use the Ayr as someone else wrote, didn't want to go with the water because of possible bacteria and was lazy to know I had to clean and chg. water every day, so being lazy choose the Ayr Q-tips swabs works well for me in the morning.Also use the netipotty sometimes just to get a good wet inside. Have concentrator as well. The sound of it was keeping me up so put it in the room next door, my husband drilled a hole in the wall molding and we ran the tubing though the wall works great, and I sleep well. Often the nose prongs are on the floor, and I get those zoro lines on my face cause I sleep on my side what can a girl do??? Pat 56/CF
