Help with Mirage Liberty Full Face Mask with Nasal Pillows

[spartancal]

getting alot of leaks from nasal pillows. Any secrets for getting a better seal with the nasal pillows?

Try to get it to seal by holding with your hand. If you can find a position where it seals, adjust the headgear in such a way where it holds it in the same position.

If you can get it to seal by maneuvering it with your hand, you may need a different size, or a different mask. It took me 2 or 3 different styles of masks before I was in dreamland.

Goodluck!

Got this tip of this forum: experiment with tying a loop of dental floss around the stems of the pillows to stop them being forced out of your nose by the air pressure. Also, try using a chin strap with the Liberty to hold your lower jaw in place. Cheers,

Once I've got the mask on and adjusted, I tie a shoelace around my head (kinda like the equator). It holds the pillows in place for me quite well.

This is what worked for me I put 1 small hair scrunchy thing around each nasal pillow(the scrunchies are small maybe aprox. 1/2 inch) sort of acting like an o-romg I guess, and I put a coating of lansinoh around each nasal pillow on the part that contacts your nostrils. It took me about a month to figure out this solution which was a combination of solutions I read here. Ive had the mask for almost 5 months and works good for me.

Check out these fixes for the Hybrid, they'll likely work with your Liberty.

On the other hand, I can't get leaks to stop with the Liberty but the Hybrid fits me well.

Make sure that the little tab at the bottom of each nose pillow lines up between the two notches to indicated how the nose pillows need to be turned. I only had air leakage problems one night with the Mirage Liberty and after figuring out how to line up the notches, I haven't had a problem since really. Although I think if your nose pillows aren't fully dry, this can also cause problems, so make sure they are dry. Good luck and let me know if this helped!
