Hybrid users - any other suggestions?

[lullaby]

I'm wondering if any other InnoMed hybrid users have had success with other full face masks?

The Hybrid has been my mask of choice for the last 18 months and is really the only mask that has worked for me. However, i'm starting to find one particular area of the mask is now causing an ongoing blister on my face. It's no doubt due to having the mask too tight but after adjusting and readjusting multiple times, i just can't get it to fit properly any more and it's really starting to bother me.

It's still a new mask (my second Hybrid) with new cushions so maybe my face shape has changed slightly or maybe my teeth have moved - i really can't work it out because it it's been a great mask up till now.

Some of the other masks i've tried with no success have been the Mirage Quattro, Quattro FX, the F&P Flexifit and Forma.

I'm presuming that if the Hybrid works for you as well as another mask, maybe we may share a similar face shape?

I believe that pada-cheek has hybrid liners. I make my own.

Hello, I've been using the Hybrid for several months now and have been successful. Unfortunately, I've had no great success using a traditional FFM. I did, one time, get a small blister near my chin while using the Innomed mask. Somehow my skin must have been become pinched during the night. Now I make sure the chin fits snuggly into the little chin shelf and have had no problems since. I don't know if they make Padacheek liners for the Hybrid masks but it sounds like a good idea to try it if available.

Yes, Karen makes liners for the hybrid... I have 3 hybrids and 3 liners. Any hybrid users should read Roster (Rooster) s notes called "taming the hybrid"... well worth the read.
