Learning to love my Bravo....

Post by chimom » Tue Sep 09, 2008 3:32 pm

Hi All
A few months ago i got a bravo mask and was so uphappy i gave up. Well last week my FF mask broke and i had to use the bravo. And after a long night of readjusting every few minutes and changing out the pillows over and over again i finally got it right! It turns out i had to to tight! I was use to having to keep my mask tight to get it to seal but with the bravo if it is to tight it will not seal and makes a whistling sound. So i guess i have to take back all the mean things i was saying about about the bravo. I guess it pays to not give up!

It NEVER pays to give up. Some masks need more tweaking than others and NO mask should be worn too tight. I always start with the mask way too loose(almost falling off), and tighten a bit at a time(with the machine ON).
That being said...congrats on figuring it out and getting another mask to work for you!
