I have been using the same mask for quite a while, and using Cpap for 8 years. Recently me mask has been slipping, ending up in my mouth. This causes leaks and EXTREME dry mouth. Has anyone had this problem? And if you found a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Re: Mask slippage
Sounds like it's time for a new mask. The headgear is probably stretched out and the mask cushion is worn out. But more information is needed-what mask, machine, pressure settings? It will help for you to fill out your user profile. Download OSCAR and read the newbie sticky posts for instructions on what/how to post. You may not be a new cpap user but you are new to the forum.

Re: Mask slippage
You really need to provide the mask you're asking about.
This way people with epethe mask can rience with the same mask can share experiences or provide alternative replacements.
Without any more knowledge, consider:
