Re: No mask available for a wider mouth? What do I do?
Thanks to all of you for the great suggestions, support and words of wisdom. They should make it mandatory for all dme's to have to live with a cpap for a while to see why these decisions are so critical. I'm going to try the larger cushion for the amara tonight with my brand new pad a cheek liner a...

Have you tried a chinstrap to help keep your jaw from drooping so much? You know, I haven't tried a chin strap because I thought my lips would still pop open, but I could be wrong. Maybe I will try a temporary homemade one to see if the idea works. My next step will be an astronaut's helmet so ever...

No mask available for a wider mouth? What do I do?
So, I'm in my first 30 days of having a cpap. I'm on my 3rd mask and that one (as they all do) seems to leak around my mouth when my mouth relaxes as I am falling asleep. It fits for a while and then it leaks. No matter what I do, it leaks. So, needless to say, I have not slept a whole night with my...

Re: Should I get a bigger mask?
Thanks Pugsy. I was just trying to find the sizing guide info on resmed's website. When I got my mask from the DME, it was not in new packaging, so the template was not included. It was picked for me by "eye". UGH! Which is why when I got it home and tried it that night, the valve and clip were miss...

Should I get a bigger mask?
