RE: Suddenly Leaking
At first glance it looks like you are opening your mouth.
But, if you are wearing a hybrid mask, then it could be something else like the humidifier tank seal.
For the 22nd, the leak is so large that you're not getting any therapy.
For the 21st, what mask were you wearing there?
That looks like a nasal mask with an open mouth.
RE: Suddenly Leaking
22nd was with the hybrid mask. 21st was with nasal pillows (Airfit P10). I have never had a problem with mouth open before, and don't wake up that way, but figured the leakage might be that, hence the trying of the hybrid.

RE: Suddenly Leaking
A chin strap with the P10 is probably a better way to go.
RE: Suddenly Leaking
Yeah, you are probably right. Just ordered one.

RE: Suddenly Leaking
That happy face on mask check doesn't mean a thing if your mouth is open when it really counts.
I get what you mean -- seems like cpap wear is a violation of the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions.
RE: Suddenly Leaking
I am an Airsense 10 newbie and have had a learning event which really helped leaks/fit. The nose pillows have a hard plastic interior and as soft plastic exterior. Its very easy to invert the hard interior (while cleaning/changing the pillow) as the exterior will look about the same. Flipping the nose inserts back out really helped the leaks
RE: Suddenly Leaking
Good thought, but I have tried 2 different nose pillows (P10 and Nuance pro) and same with both. Even tried switching between medium and large. I have chin strap coming today, so will try that tonight.

RE: Suddenly Leaking
No pillows here, but what made the difference for me and the hybrid Amara View was scrubbing it nightly with a granular soap and a sonic face cleaning device and using the same routine on my face. I had really high leaks for better than a third of the night early on. My smiley face was also green so I quit looking at it - silly, demeaning idea anyway.
