New to this and need help!

Post by ineedtosleep » Sun May 24, 2015 5:58 pm

I recently was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have been trying to use my machine for about a week and a half now. The first mask they gave me didn't fit right so I went and switched it out. I am currently using the Quattro FX for Her and I am not having leakage. I love the way it fits. My problem is I feel like my face is on fire where the mask sits. Is there any sort of pad that will keep the plastic off my face?? I have been looking around online but am not having much luck.
