different cushion for F20 full face mask?

Post by Michelesleeps » Tue Mar 20, 2018 6:48 pm

I'm a woman using the F20 medium cushion. Is this medium for men/women? I think it's too wide and causes leaks when I sleep on my side. How is the "for her" compared to the standard mask? Not sure if I should get a small or a for her mask in medium.

The cushion is the same for either mask. The for her version has lavender on it instead of blue, and the head gear is slightly smaller.

I asked about the "for her" masks too but hadn't received an answer and saw it here... I had a hunch from the website photos it was more about color than sizing or fit...I don't think I would want smaller headgear, I do have the Medium.
In fact I was able to get the Small F20 AirTouch as I'm in the first 30 days and the DME company will switch it out... but I found the Small a bit claustrophobic (mask and headgear both) and I felt more sweaty with it.
