ordered a hybrid mask by inomed,,I HATE IT ,,can't get the nasal pillows to seal at all
tried everything ,switched sizes ,positions..leaks everywhere.
I even tried one size in one bare and a different size in a different bare..no luck ,the nasal pillows leak no matter what
just my 2 cents on this mask
hybrid mask
Re: hybrid mask
I had the same problem. I then tried the mirage liberty and it works great. I have to cinch it pretty tight though. I was surprised the inomed didn't work very well. There are a lot of people on here that like it. I will have to give it another try. Sometimes what doesn't work for me at first works later.

Did you try Roosters hints for the nasal pillows?

Without this to help me it would have flown out the window. That one extra lingerie strap means I don't have to crank it tight on any of the straps.Pugsy wrote:There's always going to be lovers and haters of every mask out there.

It is a difficult mask to fit. The top adjustment is absolutely critical to the other straps working right, if that one is off nothing works.

Re: hybrid mask
The tip that worked for me was using a piece of dental floss to loosely hold the nasal pillow stems closer together, fyi. I still find it uncomfortable (but acceptable) and it is my mask of last resort for colds, etc. when I need something like a full face mask.
