"This mask was a good theory, but tended to give me a bad dry mouth and sore throat. I dont use a humidifier, but I dont know how much difference it makes.
Also, I clench my teeth at night, so I kept squeezing the cover off of the hard plastic mouthpiece and waking upo every half hour to drink water or put the soft cover back on.
The service was excellent, but the mask did not work for me, I will have to stick to nasal mask."

"DRYS OUT MOUTH VERU UNCOMFORTABLE. WAS HOPING IT WOULD WORK AS I FIGHT OPEN MOUTH WITH OTHER MASKS."

"THE INNER MOUTH PIECE WILL NOT STAY ON 1/3 THE NIGHT AND THE WHOLE DOES NOT WORK, IT KEEPS YOU AWAKE INSTEAD OF SLEEPING."

"I have only used the oral mask a few nights. The first night my cpap machine was blowing harder than I could maintain with the mask in my mouth. I fixed that by removing the filters on the elbow to let some pressure out. That worked fine, but I hope to gradually re-cover some of the holes.
My other problem was with the saliva build-up. I solved that problem by cutting a piece of material (sweatshirt) to fit inside mouth cover. Of course I cut a hole to insert the two airways. This worked well.
All in all I like the mask. It is much better than any other mask I've tried...and believe me, I've tried them all.
The nose plugs were worthless. I could not keep them in place. I gave up on them and practiced to where I can do without any plugs. My throat was sore at first but that has subsided."

"I sure missed the boat on this one. Can't begin to use it. Thank God I bought the return insurance. The instructions do not help with assembly."
