I just started on my Cpap on March8. 2017. I use the nasal pillows. I tried three mask during the night of my 2nd sleep study. The full face mask was too bulky and air leaks like crazy. The mask that covered my nose, that was a bad experience, felt like I was not able to breath after an hour. The nasal pillows work well so far. I do wake up with a dry mouth but I find when ( only a few times) when my mouth opens I can hear the air coming out which I immediately closed my mouth. I still wake with a dry mouth.
New here, I have been on my Cpap for a week now. I find that I am aware of my machine being on fo most of the night. Still trying to get used to it.
