How to tell if the pillows are leaking?

Post by 9forus » Wed Aug 20, 2014 6:06 pm

I took the plunge and got an Airfit P10 today. I have been using the Airfit FFM, F10 since May. I am not a mouth breather. They have the the "for her" one, the pillows included were xs, s, and M. I put the medium in to try and will use those tonight. I could hear the mask if it leaked. How can I tell if I need the bigger pillows? I can swap them within 7 days if need be. But I guess I would have to get the regular P10 for the large, right?

Thanks so much!

I'd say swap a xsmall for a large, if you're on a medium, you won't need the xs.... the pillows all fit all p10s, the only difference is the color of the strap (and which pillows are included) cuz, of course, girls gotta have pink... or flowers... some law somewhere, I guess *lol*

Palerider is spot on. You don't need to swap masks, just ask the DME for a Large pillow. I did the same earlier this week, and the Large seems to be working much better for me.
