Which Mask Has Least Leaks
#11
RE: Which Mask Has Least Leaks
In the last 7+ years I've tried numerous masks, including several full face masks, more than a few nasal masks, several pillow masks, and two kinds of Bleep masks.

Hands down, the Bleep masks are the best for minimizing leaks, assuming one can avoid mouth leaks. I currently use the original Bleep DreamPorts and tape my mouth. I never have any leaks whatsoever -- my 99.5% leak stat is invariably 0.00. I find the Bleep DreamPorts slightly more comfortable than the Bleep Eclipse, which is why I'm using the DreamPorts, but both are equally leak-free and provide excellent therapeutic results.

Agreed, hands down, for me Bleep Eclipse. Tried 5-6 different pillow/nasal, all will sometimes leak when I side sleep. Always mouth tape (cover roll stretch tape).

Side note- I do not trim the Halos at all, just alcohol wipe the nares and slap them on. You CAN overlap just not over onto the metal rings. Seen some videos where user way overcomplicates the application. Takes me maybe 30 secs max to do everything.

Unfortunately Eclipse still on backorder since the initial order shipments back in Dec.

Cheers
