Size Matters!

Post by trytryagain » Mon Sep 27, 2010 11:29 am

The RT guy just left and boy was he helpful.He brought me several masks to try along with different sizes of the masks I already had. I ended up with the originals masks, Quattro and Activa LT but both in different sizes than I originally had. The previous RT that I first went to at the DME place never had me try on my masks, he just held up the measuring guide and said you measure a small for this and a large for that. This guy said I was definitely not a large and set me up with mediums in both and they feel much better. Hopefully the leaks will be better tonight. Wish me luck. PS> I thought the subject title would get your attention

Good luck!! Size certainly does matter and it varies from mask to mask within the same brand.
