Getting There

"Being relatively new to the world of Bipap...I have been through the wringer with full-face masks, already.
If they didn't nearly slice through my nose...they were digging out parts of my cheeks or shooting air, rapid-fire, into my eyes.
Oh, and one particular mask acutally pushed my teeth in and left me with a ruined bite and big gaps, after only a few days!!! Yikes!!!
Soooo...I was desperate to try The Hybrid.
And...it's so much better.
I still get the marks of the headgear on my face and I'm still trying to find a mix of nose pillows which will be the perfect fit -- the fit that won't allow them to pop out of my nose -- and still trying to avoid the leaks that spring after the oils have started appearing on my skin, again, in the middle of the night.
OK, so this mask has its little problems...but it's a whole lot better than the pain I was getting from the others and having to tell people that I hadn't been in a car wreck and my face did NOT hit a windscreen!
I've tried the other 'hybrid-type' mask, too, and while I think the mask part is inferior to this one...I do think the nose pillows are FABULOUS and wish the makers of this mask would take a tip from them and take a good look at their pillows.
Overall...it's doing what I need it to do...and I reckon that's good enough for now.
My nose and cheeks are all doing a happy dance, for sure!"

"This is a good comfortable mask that has made it easy for me to breathe naturally while falling asleep. The nasal pillows don't stay in place quite as well as a dedicated nasal pillow mask, but the ability to breath through your mouth if you need to makes up for that.
The portion of the mask that goes over you mouth leaks for me if a sleep on my back, but if I sleep on my side, it's quite comfortable and I get no leaking."

"Good product. Nice not having gear resting on bridge of nose and forhead. Would recommend to anyone."

"The instructions were excellent. Had a little difficulty straightening out the head gear, but it worked.
The mask is definitely more comfortable then the full over the bridge of the nose face mask.
We would recommend this to any Bipap user. It was convenient having all sizes included in the package."
