Kypapa,

Have you read through the Mask Primer?

Might help you in adjusting your mask for a better seal.

Especially this part...  https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.ph..._Jeffy1958

RE: FFM leaks
Have you replaced the silicon part? They get goofy. Also, your face might be relaxing at night more than it used to. Did you damage your nose, so now your mouth has to open to breathe? Did you get a new pillow? So many possibilities!

I find Dawn makes my mask too slick, and now I’ve not been able to find any that isn’t scented. I recently found I could wipe my chin area with a mask wipe, and it sticks really well.

RE: FFM leaks
I have replaced the silicone.  Actually Opal’s advice helped a lot especially the article on the perfect mask fit. I was definitely too tight.  Last night I did a refit and had zero issues again.

That info helped so much.  I was definitely too tight and the perfect mask fit helped a lot.  I slept like a baby again.  Thank you!

Did you try the F&P Vitera before? 
If not try it also F20 may fit you.

Vitera will come in S-M-L package, later if you like it you can order Your size (same price) if not let me know my supplier do.
I used this mask up to 6 months under high pressure without issues.

P20 you need to print and check your size here

Sadly the F20 wasn’t for me ( I was trying my best ) but it got a good review check it here https://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread...ask?page=6




Good luck

I've had good experience with the AirFit F30 FFM. I tried the AirFit F40 and it was okay. But, I'm back to using my F30.  Cool
