Almost everyone's post shows the mask they are using. Your's will too if you register.

Nasal pillows seem more popular with guys than women. I think this is mostly due to broken noses resulting from hockey, football, inebriation, brawls, stupidity plus a host of other things. It's hard to fit a FFM to a nose that's been mangled Actually, come to think of it, I know a few women like that too.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Shhhh. Don't tell you know who about that little detail. Men who are real men aren't supposed to use a "girlie" mask.
Just joking of course. All the masks are unisex...some just have "Her" headgear sizing for the typical smaller female head.

LSAT....OP is registered but awaiting the equipment delivery scheduled for tomorrow.

*chuckles at the lighthearted joking*
@Sheriff - Speaking of sex, I've tried several times to use my mask and hose as foreplay. DH looks at me, rolls his eyes and turns over
However, as any persistent wife, I won't give up

Ok, back to the question. I checked FFM which really is meant for Hybrid.

After trying many, many masks, types & brands, I finally settled on the first mask I began with, the ResMed Ultra Mirage FFM. Now I've got lots of masks I used only once or a few nights!

I know the machine has a blower ... but it wasn't meant for that. (That's the best I can do at taming down my reply as I initially thought of it! LOL)

If wearing a mask during "activity", be careful not to block the vents.
