Quartro fx slipping
I have Been using Quartro fx medium and when the pressure is up the mask rides higher on my nose. I have to get up every two hours in the night to reposition it because of leakage around my nose. I have a norrow bridge. Is the mask too large or should I try another mask?

Hi Deweym, I think many find they need to wash the mask cushion every morning (using unscented soap) and wash and dry their face right before sleep time, in order for their mask to stay put and seal well. I use a cloth mask liner (RemZzzs brand) between my face and the mask, which stops leaks and allows me to wear the mask slightly less tightly.

When I use that mask I have an under chin strap that connects to the two lower straps on the mask.
Stops it from riding up.  I made it from velcro. Some folks call it a "Woozle" I think.
