First Night with FFM

Post by MikeyB » Fri Dec 11, 2009 11:01 am

It was my first noght using a full face mask, had a little trouble getting used to it but managed, only thing is even with the humidifier my mouth in the morning has never been so dry. Is that normal?

That is normal for mouthbreathers. The humidifiers are designed to provide moisture for the nasal airway and cannot deliver enough moisture for the mouth if you are doing a lot of mouthbreathing.
