Small mask for small woman

Post by japaints2 » Thu Jan 18, 2018 8:36 pm

I have been using a simplus full face mask but I think it is too big even though it is size small. It goes under my chin. Because of this it sometimes leaks and I am wearing it too tight leading to red marks and really sore spots on my face....any wisdom about a smaller full face mask? Judy

I would first try a mask liner...padacheek.com has great ones. If that doesn't work look at childrens masks.

I'm new so this might not be helpful or what you need but in the new product link above there's a airtouch F20 for her full face mask... Perhaps they'll have smaller sizes??

There are some full face masks that come with an extra small size cushion. I know nothing about them as I have never used one.
The only full face mask that I have any experience with is the Respironics Amara View which doesn't go over the nose at all.

These are the more traditional full face masks that have cushions available in the extra small size. I have no idea how those sizes might compare with the Small in the Simplus.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

My suggestion is the smallest size Comfortgel Blue full face.
The gel makes this mask very flexible for many faces.
