Re: I got it!
I had to get a four pieces of fleece tubes 1 1/4 x 6 inches (flat) slipped over the straps to keep the mask from leaking when moving around in bed and stop the terrible strap marks it left on my face. I think padacheek sells them here on this forum or you can make them in 5 minutes from 4 pcs of 2 1/2 x 6 material folded in half and sew on the edge, but they really help this mask! Also the larger nasal pillows you can use seem to leak less than the smaller ones. It is a neat mask.Jethro wrote:I just got fitted for the full face hybrid, I'll try it out tonight and let you all know how good of job it will do

Well everyone, it's going to take some time getting use to it!
No leaks. but what i noticed is that it seems to not push enough air through the pillows. I'll do some adjusting here and there. theres alot of adjusting there is. and the chin thing will take some time too
I think I had it on to tight becouse I had a hedeache this am
oh yeah, there's little port holes on both sides of the mouth piece with rubber plugs i don't no if to leave em in or pull em out did not read in to much about that.

Leave em in!!! They are for oxygen!!! The mask won't work properly without them. Try the largest nasal pillows you can use as they let a lot more air in.Jethro wrote:Well everyone, it's going to take some time getting use to it!
