Re: newbiw having prblems with major leaks
If you can login and post all your equipment it will help others help you as there are many types of masks, machines, and a wide range of pressures that affect mask performance. I sleep with a ResMed Ultra Mirage Full Face that will ONLY work with the forehead adjust to minimum and just touching my forehead with a 2 x 3 cm piece of moleskin on the bridge of my nose and the straps pretty tight. No Leaks!!!!! However; a ResMed Quattro Full Face Mask always leaks because it is too wide for my face!!!!!
