Breeze users-Help!

Sneezie · Post by **Sneezie** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 9:59 pm

I have had my new mask for about three weeks and I love it except I cannot get the stupid thing to stay on my head at night which of course leads to very loud leaks! Has anyone had any luck modifying it? I have the strap attatched to the thing that slides. I have tried moving stuff around but it hasn't helped. Thank you! Any help would be appreciated!!

Sneezie, maybe you can find a fix in some of the topics at this clickable link:

I used the Breeze for about a year or more. Really liked it. But I put a homemade soft stretchy strap down very low on it, like this far down:

I use a different mask now, that I like even better (also using homemade extra straps with it.)

Until you make one of the adaptations you could try just tightening the straps...that worked for me. good ideas on here

When you get the Breeze adjusted so that it fits correctly/comfortably, carefully take it off and apply some tape at all the points where the mask has adjustable sliding points. This will help it to stay in the right shape all night.

I find the Breeze to be great for comfort, stability, and seal ... with some modification.

I'm currently trialing my second modification of the Breeze. I hope to write up a report w/ pics and post here in a week or two.

I also find the Breeze very comfortable although it has been modified a little.
I think the most important factor in making the mask work is ensuring that the clip that holds the straps does not move. Various methods have been used to hold it in position :-
1. Double sided tape
2. Glue
3. Melt the plastic with a soldering iron to weld it together
4. Sticky tape.
5. My favoured method is a tie wrap over a hoop as this enables you to remove the hose for cleaning.

I rarely have any leaks.

Are you hanging the hose over your head from the bedpost or wall? That solved my problem with keeping the Breeze in place.

Good luck!
