CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
I haven't tried it, but it seems like it might work well.
That being said, I have a full beard like this guy and have next to nothing as far as leaks go. I get a great seal, however I am using a nasal mask as opposed to the full face mask like he uses. A FFM would allow for more areas to possibly leak.
When I DO notice leaks, it's almost always at the top of the mask not associated with my mustache area.

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
I had a full beard but was made to trim it down. Now i have it short. I do have leaks in the lower area. I do have the ffm. I'm going to try this product and report my findings.

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
Despite my full beard and mustache, this has never been is issue, at least not for me. I use a nasal mask, so perhaps that makes it easier.
If you find that this is an issue, then by all means, give that product a try.

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
I looked at the video and the material being referenced appears to be a lot like mustache wax.
I'd guess mustache wax would be a lot less expensive.
Even less expensive would be to make your own. Lots of references and YouTube videos on that topic.

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
i don't want to be THAT guy, but i'm a full bearded fellow and a mouth breather, yet successfully use nasal pillows. the trick is to make sure you don't breath through your mouth.
i'm not being a smart aleck, not trying to prove anything. i'm just saying it can be done without screwing with your beard.

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
This is not accurate and confuses some newbies. It's a foam cervical collar.
( I find the "firm" is more effective and lasts longer - https://www.walmart.com/ip/DMI-Universa ... e/23057188 )

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
A combination of the Beard Seal and a really tight F20 mask and I have gotten a better result. Bearded men that are mouth breathers, there is hope!!!!

Re: CPAP Beard & Mustache Seal
I use pillows (P10) and never have mouth breathing problems unless , for some reason or another, I try to sleep in a recliner. If I do that I can't keep my mouth shut. Go figure.
