Welcome to our little community here. Please sign up for an ID and list the equipment in your profile. There's a link on how to do this at the bottom of your post.
Your problems are quite common. Fill in the equipment info and we can give you better help. It does sound like you're still getting a mouth leak.
Do you mean you're removing your mask during the night without realizing it? If so, that's a common problem, too.

Re: horrible dry mouth
Try mouth wash for dry mouth right before you go to bed. I use the Colgate Dry Mouth Relief and a PapCap.

Re: horrible dry mouth
Sounds like you are still doing some breathing through your mouth...even with the chin strap. Try a FF Mask.

Re: horrible dry mouth
You are breathing through your mouth. I use a full face mask and breath through my mouth. When I have a deep sleep night my mouth is very very dry.
Biotene mouth wash is great for me. Some of the people on this site use tape to hold their mouth closed. Even if you go to a full face mask and breathe
through your mouth you can still have a dry mouth.

Re: horrible dry mouth
There is an “over the counter” product I found in the drugstore called biotene which is a moisturizing mouth spray that works quite well for that. I am a mouth breather and always have been so I know how disturbing it is waking up feeling like your mouth is full of cotton balls. If you cant find this particular product, ask your pharmacist for a recommendation, they usually can be most helpful in that regard.webbrn wrote:I have horrible dry mouth and frequently find myself having had removed it during the night.
