alternating masks
alternating masks
I'm wondering if anyone alternates between 2 different kinds of masks and if there are any downsides. Thanks.
currently trying airfit N30 (not i)

Re: alternating masks
Some of us use more than one mask. There is really no down side to it. I normally use the Evora full face mask, but occasionally swap back to my F20 just for something different. Others here on the forum alternate between masks more often.

Re: alternating masks
I alternated for a good portion of the first year.
Eventually, I was able to find masks that fit better without pain.
I have used the p10 for several years now.

Re: alternating masks
I alternate between the Bleep, the P10 and an F30 (that's a Full Face Mask).
Sometime more of one mask, sometimes more of another - especially when I need a break from mouth taping.

Re: alternating masks
I do it all the time. I swap from the Mirage Quattro to the Philips Total face mask. The Mirage is less intrusive, but gives the bridge of my nose trouble. Thats when I swap.

Re: alternating masks
Thanks, all. This is good to know. I am thinking of alternating between the P10 and the Bleep. One night I get a break from the tape and another I get a break from the pressure against my nostrils.
