Tap pap pillows falling out?

Tap pap pillows falling out?
Anybody have problems with the pillows in a tap pap mask falling out?  I love the mask, it's comfortable and I don't wake up with lines on my face.  I do early morning zoom meetings with India a few times a week and i'm often rolling out of bed at 6am and then have to be on video.  Getting a tap pap was a game changer.  But it leaks like crazy and at least every third night one of the pillows pops out of the socket.  I don't know if it can't handle my pressure (which is on apap mode and goes from 8-17, but rarely goes above 13 when I look at my data.

It's usually the right nostril pillow that pops out, but the left has done it a couple times as well.  I'm an active sleeper so maybe I'm just moving it too much, but it seems like the whole design of the thing should prevent something like this from happening.  I really wish they were made as a single set instead of two individual pillows.   I'm sure this is more cost effective for the manufacturer, but I'm certain it would perform better if they made it a single piece.  You'd have more surface area and they wouldn't be so fiddly to install.

Nice product idea, but it needs a few more revisions I think.
