An wasy way to get used to it is put it on early and read or watch TV, then you are consciously getting used to it being on your face.

Good Luck!

Sargent: please fill in your equipment in your profile. Masks are like shoes. What I like, or what fits me, may not fit you. Look at my mask. You'll probably never try it. There are nasal, full face and total face masks. Each brand and model feel different. Go to your DME (where you got your equipment) and ask to try on a different masks. Heck... try them all. See what you like and feels good to you. The nasal masks are probably less intrusive, but man-o-man... you have to be able to wear it all night and can't breath out your mouth. There are many full-face mask folks here. A full face mask allows you to be a mouth breather. Mask shopping is normal and a good mask that fits you, is comfortable and doesn't leak is the key to sucessful therapy.

Clear as mud???
