[CPAP] Always used a nasal mask and a chin strap
#1
Always used a nasal mask and a chin strap
Fitted for a nasal mask 15 years ago and always had to add a chin strap to keep my mouth closed.  Now told the nasal mask that I've ordered all those years are no longer available am wanting to know if any of you have transitioned from a nasal mask and chin strap to a FULL FACE MASK?  (no need for a chin strap)  Would welcome all comments.  Thanks

RE: Always used a nasal mask and a chin strap
I like Resmed P10 pillow mask and a soft collar. If a pillow mask works, just find another brand.
CPAP is a journey like “The Wizard of Oz”. It’s a long slow journey. You will face many problems and pick up many friends along the way. Just because you reach the poppies, it doesn’t mean you are in Kansas.

I was much happier with a ffm than a nasal mask and chin strap.
