As usual, I want to thank this group again.
Didn't realize how important it was for me to make sure that I washed my face before I went to bed. Write it off to being a male.
Came across a post talking about small leaks and that being detrimental. Wash the mask every night and my face every night and the AHI has dropped to under 2.
I'm on Medicare, so I essentially get new supplies all the time.
Other than visible tears, etc., is there anything I should be looking for when it comes to mask longevity? It seems as if they could last for months, instead of the recommended one month replacement schedule.
Thanks and a question

The 30 replacement schedule is for the cushions only, not the whole mask. As long as the mask is not leaking, its good to go.
