I lost weight and can no longer use my Hybrid?? Need advice

I have lost 81 lbs, still more to go, but all of a sudden my hybrid *the only mask i have ever liked* has all of a sudden started leaving terrible red areas which are very sore around both nostrils.. i mean REALLY sore.. I went to my DME who is very nice, and she said my nostrils are too skinny lol....

my result

Hi all. Just wanted to give you the other side.. I was switched to Bi Pap after a non successful CPAP trial due to my high pressure.. It is 16 and 8 on the Bi Pap.. I am very allergic to almost every darn seal on the masks out there.. If i do wear them I have terrible redness for 3 to 4 hours every...

ok, for those who have usee UMFF and Quattro?

is the cushion factor any better on the quattro? Did you wear the same size in both, i would asssume yes, but you never know.. If the quattro was a lot more cushiony, or soft, i would consider it, because i love the seal of the UMFF but it is hard on my face.. thanks in advance.. MY DME doesnt have ...

Re: UMFF

[quote="KAZ"]Cindy, I have the same mask, pressure 20, and I sleep on my side. I have tried several pillows to get the best one and I adjust the mask so that it seals, and then back off the straps(one side at the time) until I start to lose seal and then go back just a little. Perhaps that might wor...

Re: specifics

I sleep on my side always, and i am on bipap with 16/8.. Thanks Cindy. A Swift at 16cm H2O would definitely be a challenge for a side sleeper, IMO.... I use one at some of the time and at 14cm H2O and it took quite a while to get the set up workable. I would have thought that either of F&P masks wo...

Gently used about 3 nights each at most: Mirage Vista Nasal mask, very good headgear I think, i wish more masks were this stable.. Fisher and Payke 431 with all 3 sizes ...
