Re: Resmed N30i Leaks
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2021 7:28 am
I used my new N30i small cushion (the new version) last night and loved it! I didn't feel any leaks and there seemed to be no mask movement.
However, I didn't tape my mouth last night and it showed. I woke up around 4 AM and felt the pressure in my mouth and the air seepage around my lips. I've got to figure out the tape thing. I'm using 3M Micropore 1" tape. When I pull if off in the morning (very slowly) it's pulling my skin around my lips. I didn't use the tape last night because the upper part of my lip was raw from pulling the tape off in the mornings, so I tried sleeping without the tape - apparently not a good idea.
Is there a better tape choice? Now, 3M tape might work as I continue to heal from nose surgery. I have a lot of drainage from my nose and I have to blow my nose a lot, so it's likely the skin under my nose of overly sensitive right now. It's only been 3.5 weeks post-surgery.
