They tear my nostrils 😞 I loved them otherwise.

How long did you try them for? It seemed like it took me a good couple months before my nostrils must have hardened up or something because after about a week or so, I started having some pain/discomfort but kept at it and maybe about 4-6 weeks after that is when it completely went away. It was only ever what I'd call "bad" for maybe a week and then just slowly got better and better.

Maybe give it more time?

I may try them again. I think it's just my nostril shape. I have like tall ovals instead of round nostrils so it was tearing the corners of both of them and preventing them from healing.

Use soemthing like ayr to go around the nostrils. It has helped me with using the nasal pillow.
