What You Need to Know About the ResMed Swift LT for Her Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask
The ResMed Swift LT for Her is a version of the ResMed Swift LT nasal pillow mask that’s designed for smaller facial features. The mask also features fabric-covered headgear with a higher back-of-head support strap than the Swift LT, which makes it easier to wear long hair in a low ponytail or bun. Both the Swift LT and the Swift LT for Her lack a forehead strap, which may make these masks more comfortable for some users.
Like other nasal pillow masks, the Swift LT for Her seals inside the nostrils for an extremely lightweight and low-profile feel. You can also adjust the angle of the pillows and connection hose, which makes it easier to find a comfortable position.
The Swift LT for Her includes a tube retainer that gives users the option of securing their hose at the top of their head.
What Comes With It
The Swift LT for Her includes everything you need to use your new mask with an existing PAP setup. The mask includes a short hose that connects to standard CPAP tubing, which must be purchased separately.
While some retailers offer the Swift LT for Her with a choice of one specific pillow size, others include a complete kit with extra small, small, and medium pillows. By contrast, the kit for the Swift LT comes with small, medium, and large silicone pillows.

CPAP Mask Cost
The Swift LT for Her’s cost is comparable to other nasal pillow masks from ResMed and other major CPAP mask manufacturers. However, it is important to consider your chosen mask’s replacement schedule and the cost of replacement components when deciding whether a mask suits your budget.
Using This CPAP Mask
Most people are likely to find the Swift LT for Her easy to use, as it features a straightforward headgear design and comes with illustrated instructions. Adjusting the headgear is relatively intuitive and should not pose a problem for most people.
The Swift LT for Her is, like most CPAP masks, compatible with almost all CPAP machines and tubing. Unless you purchase a separate adapter, this mask is not compatible with the ResMed AirMini, a travel CPAP machine that has a nonstandard hose connector.
Although the Swift LT for Her has a pressure range of 4 to 20 centimeters of water pressure (cm H2O), some people find nasal pillow masks uncomfortable at the top end of this range. If you have a prescription close to 20 cm H2O, you may prefer a standard nasal mask or a full-face mask.
The Swift LT for Her can be used with either standard or heated tubing that has a 22-millimeter cuff connection. However, before you purchase new tubing it’s important to verify which models of heated tubing, if any, are compatible with your PAP machine.
ResMed recommends cleaning the headgear, soft wraps, and tube retainer weekly, while all other components should be washed daily or after each use. You can clean your mask by disassembling the components and washing them in warm, soapy water before rinsing and leaving them to air dry.
