Cpap mask size for men and women

Post by catnipper » Sat Apr 15, 2017 2:07 pm

I have tried a resmed full face mask medium - and it came up to close to my eyes and was bothering me. So the respiratory therapist ordered a small resmed for "her" - which says it is catered to women - (yeah I see the pink on there to indicate female) - so is a medium mask and a "medium mask for her" the same or is it just the coloring on the straps?

The small full mask does feel a little small and I hate to go back to the medium because it felt too big. Is the medium "for her" different than the regular medium? Curious mind wants to know.....

The mask size is the same. Some of their products, such as the P10 pillows go down to Extra Small on for her, but not the F20.
The "for her" headgear only comes in small. The other one comes in small, standard, & large.

you can download the sizing guides off the net, and compare, as well as figure out which one is truly the right size for you.
