Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to change the nosepiece size? I made it too small and fell like it's about to break getting it in the hole.

Hi, I just had this same problem. Firmly but gently tug and pull and wiggle side to side slightly. It will finally pop into place. In my opinion, they could have improved this product a lot by giving 3 separate sized nose pieces like the Speedo Vanquisher comes with, or at least provide a spare!

To "Boog ?" A. Claymaker gave the best answer to my mind. You want it to fit just outside the mask to assure protecting your nose. Pointpilot

The nose cone/spinner pops right off. I just grab it with two fingers and pull, allowing access to the nut holding the prop. If that doesn't work try a small standard driver to pry between the joint.

Check the website www.nosetouch.com/pawz_guide.htm for anyone who wants to order the exact size... I liked your funny spelling :)

I recommend trying larger size. Mine put too much pressure and I couldn't wear it much. Not sure if it a good idea. Surgery is answer.

Shape and diameter both matter. I measured my nostril and sent that info along with a pic to Woody Knows, and they recommended a size that worked perfectly.

I used a hot glue gun without squeezing out glue & wallowed the holes out large enough for it to barely fit. Then used a crescent to grip the nipple4 & start screwing it into the hole.. The 1st one I thought I needed to keep tightening it & it broke. Lesson learned, tighten snug but it doesn't take much.. It worked!

Try turning it upside down. I thought both ends looked the same and had the same problem. Finally out of frustration I turned it upside down and it fit great.

I struggled with this as well. Turns out flipping the little rubber gasket around the wrong way (little eye lined up with big hole and big eye lined up with the little hole) fixes the issue in some cases.

I was not very pleased. It was very painful to use and difficult to keep on. My nose is not very wide so it should have been more comfortable. God bless.Kiesha Middleton

No I didn't. I stuck with this ceramic one and although I still feel like my nostril is too small, I am able to make it work.

There's a sizing guide on this page of the website: http://www.woodyknows.com/Products.asp They used to sell cheaper frames (without filters) for sizing purposes, but I don't see that on Amazon anymore. Based on my nose measurements, I initially ordered the IIIR, but I later figured out the IIIS fits better. My "nares" are round, but the interior of my nose is narrower. In short, the sizing is tricky because all noses are different. But it's worth the effort. The filter has really helped me. Best of luck.

There is a screw just inside the plastic nose cowl. I used a long, thin, Philips screwdriver and loosened / tightened the screw. You have to bend the cowl in a little to reach the screw. Kind of scary but, it worked.

Great video on how to size on te 3M site. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/3M-Full-Facepiece-7800S-M-Respiratory-Protection-Medium-Silicone-1-EA-Case?N=4294930978+5011378&&Nr=AND%28hrcy_id%3AGS4NR62TD2gs_X9C5QRX8KM_N2RL3FHWVK_GPD0K8BC31gv%29&rt=d

I found the same problem...takes two men and a small dog to hook the things. I hooked them BEFORE I put the thing on. Took a lot of effort but got it on....it felt like I was in a straight jacket. I think the Med/Large is just to small. They should increase the length of the velcro tabs and put some thumb hooks or something you can get a hold on the tabs better.

I bought a new mask frame and it now fits. It probably was time for an upgrade, although my old frame had nothing structurally or operationally wrong with it. My only complaint wasn't really about the product, but its display on the site. I just needed a little more information before I ordered. If you still want the flap number (on the new one or old one?), I can provide that later.

I had that with a pair of misaligned glasses. Try adjusting the nose strap length. Just an idea.
