Liberty Mask

Post by ladybug4 » Wed Sep 22, 2010 11:22 am

How many here are using the Liberty Mask with Nose Pillows? I am getting my first one in a day or two. Just wondering how really love it.

I have a Hybrid. The original one. I absolutely love it. I think it's the best or at least one of the best masks ever made.

I have it and I really like it. Can't say I love it because it sometimes gets annoying. Plus I've only tried two other masks (one of which was the hybrid which I didn't like at all). But it works for me most of the time and I don't need to have my nose covered which is important to me.

I do tie a shoelace around my head to stabilize the nasal pillows. And I use a buckwheat pillow to reduce leaks from the pillow shoving the mask out of place.

Hope you like it!

I was using a Liberty and mouth-taping before I switched to a Hybrid. Worked well, but taping was a hassle...

I would tend to agree with some of the others.

I found the Liberty to be more comfortable than most other full face masks, so I don't think it's a bad choice, but for me the Hybrid is more comfortable and is my number one choice.

I believe I might have to get the Liberty; since I know it ALMOST fits.
Everything works except at the chin.
On the loaner, I put a scrap of foam inside the cushion right over the chin.
--not quite there. . .
Does anyone have fitting tips?

Have the Liberty...can't make it not leak. The original Hybrid fits my face and doesn't leak, plu sfor me waaaay more comfortable.
