Hybrid Mask?

Post by Clizby » Wed Aug 12, 2020 1:36 pm

Hello,

I've been using the Airtouch F20 for at least a couple of years now. Occasionally I have issues with the bridge of my nose, which is odd because it can begin without the straps even being adjusted, so I'm not sure what's going on. I have used the respironics liquicells for some relief, but apparently those are no longer being made. So in its place I was sent the gecko nasal pade, and I'm just not sure if I will get used to it as it is so much bulkier.

I recently learned bout the hybrid masks or whatever they are called where they cover your mouth and push into your nostrils but do not go over your nose and I was thinking about trying one of those. Has anyone had any success with one of those? I've heard they can be good but also that sleeping on your side with them may cause leaks. Has anyone switched from a full face to one of those that can speak to their experience?

Thank you!
