Recent troubles with Flexifit 431 FF mask seals

[stacia123]

Does anyone here use a Flexifit 431 FF mask? I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem with their silicone seals lately, or if I've just had a spate of bad luck.

Over the last few months I have had 6 new seals, 2 of which leaked from the very first moment and had to be exchanged. I got one replacement and it was fine, but only lasted a month before it got those permanent leaks you can't stop. Seals used to last 2-3 months for me. All of my other replacement seals which were fine at first have only lasted about a month, too. I'm still waiting on that 2nd replacement, so I'll be interested to see how long it lasts.

Interestingly, I got a brand new mask a couple of months ago, and the seal that came with it has lasted 2 months without a single problem.

No idea why my seals have such a short life now. I haven't changed anything in the way I store or clean them. The seals were bought from 3 different businesses, so it's not likely someone is selling me used seals as new. Is this just me or has anyone else had similar issues?

I haven't had any issues with the seals. I've had valve problems, but the seals have been okay for me.

I hope you get this figured out. Sounds very frustrating.
