Double sided hypoallergenic tape solved my seal from leaking

Post by richjh » Sun Feb 12, 2023 3:17 pm

I have had a love hate situation with my f30i hybrid mask. I love it because my nose area would always be red and a little swollen from repeated use of my f20 mask. The under the nose f30i had always been appealing to me. Even though I’m a pretty big guy at 240 pounds I wound up using the small wide cushion size. The nose fit of this size mask fit my nostrils perfectly. My problem was in getting it to seal throughout the night. The cushion would always curl on my lower lip breaking the seal winding up almost in my mouth. It either woke me or my wife to pull it back below my lip. For days I tried different tapes and nothing seemed to stick on the cushion until I located URSA Tape Sticky Strips on Amazon. They worked perfectly! I can’t tell you how happy I am solving this problem. Hopefully it can help some of you.

That's probably because your jaw was dropping at times as you slept.
