Thats the mask I was shown. Ive tried all the resmed now, and the chinstrap doesnt work, I have to get it very tight, and it slips off in the night, rubs the skin etc. That is the mask though, I was shown two, one like an inflatable and that one...yours being the one i quickly tried before agreeing ...

My nasal mask isnt working, nor it seems any mask as they leak across the bridge of the nose. Last time I saw the consultant she showed me a "Full Face" mask. Literally like a scuba diving mask that surrounds the entire face, forehead and all. Has anyone tried this type of mask? any observations? Oh...

Im using the Resmed gel nasal mask and cant get away with it.

Still leaking on the bridge of the nose unless I tighten the dial so much the next morning my nose is sore. Also, it seems very harsh on the top lip which comes into contact with my teeth.

Ive just swapped onto a quattro nasal mask, the gel one. The swift pillows were the best and easiest Ive tried, although mouth leaks were making it a misery. I have the chin strap that doesnt really work and really irritates the skin on my chin. (or slips off my head, only a single velcro resmed ban...

I was told that at some point you will close your mouth so youll get a little therapy when that happens.

Marky, Hope I am understanding your comments. If chin strap and other methods don't help keeping mouth closed, then why not try a full face mask or a hybrid mask? The chin strap just keeps coming off and causes dryness around my chin making it very sore. I have also tried all the resmed face masks,...

If things dont improve rapidly Ill have to say more needs to be done. He told me I was still settling into masks and treatment. Ive tried all the resmed masks and a couple of masks from other makes. If the leaks dont improve I guess they will have to do another sleep study to find out whats happenin...

My Consultant told me yesterday that although I may be mouth breathing with the Nasal pillows......BUT! its ok if its only a couple of hours per night. My resmed Escape doesnt say...so how would anyone know? Couple of hours of less than optimal therapy wouldn't be okay with me. Like you say...how w...

I was overwhelmed too...... ...............Didnt take me long to be underwhelmed by the standard of my treatment. My Consultant told me yesterday that although I may be mouth breathing with the Nasal pillows......BUT! its ok if its only a couple of hours per night. My resmed Escape doesnt say...so h...

I use the swift nasal pillows, and find if I lie on my back, theres very little noise. But......I prefer my side or stomach. and I notice that the "outlet" valve makes a real racket when it doesnt have a clear airway. If the air hits the pillow or quilt the noise starts. Its working, just making a n...

its 12.30 am for me.....Ill look in the morning, God I hope they keep my dignity

Thanks by the way.

I have the Hybrid mask. but it leaks around my mouth when on my side. ( I have an old VW Camper Van that I like to go off wandering in. It wont run the humidifier, the think just restarts......but it does run the escape by itself, and I can use the Hybrid without the humidifier) The pillows just ne...

Most of us come here to discuss xPAP and directly related issues with our therapy because there are few forums out there to do so. Recently, off-topic (specifically, political) posts, not related to xPAP in any way, shape or form have cropped up and have created a distraction to this wonderful reso...

So whats the big deal? There are even many famous people that use cpap... Mike Moran , Katy Perry, Regis Philben just to name a few. What would you think if you had to inject with insulin every day, its just another medical condition that is keeping you alive and well. But what if I look more like ...

I didnt buy the machine....its just what I was given on the NHS. I have the Hybrid mask. but it leaks around my mouth when on my side.
