When the machine is running you need to keep your mouth CLOSED......Watch some of these.

I would suggest tightening the strap at the bottom if it's riding up on your face. Best way to adjust a new mask is to leave all the straps loose, hold it over you face, lie down & turn the machine on. Adjust the straps so the mask seals but is able to "inflate", not clamped down tight.

Question: is it the right size? I use AirTouch F20 and have been using size medium (for several months). Comfortable and was working fine but I thought it was too high on the bridge of my nose (can't put on eyeglasses). So last month I tried size small, and while it fit, the bottom edge was right at my lower lip so that if I yawned it would lift off and ride up. Maybe that's what's happening to you? I used the AirFit until someone in the forum sent me an AirTouch to try.

The difference between AirFit & AirTouch is the seal. They are interchangeable in the headgear. AirFit has a silicone seal, AirTouch has a memory foam seal. I prefer the memory foam, fits my face better and rarely leaks.

Here is the post Bristolman is referring to. Looks like it would hold the mask onto the chin if it tends to slide around. Good idea!
