    Help! I have a moustache!

    I currently use a Respironics Classic fit mask.  However, I have a moustache and I am a side-sleeper...needless to say, my mask does not maintain it's seal through the night!  As soon as my neck relaxes, causing my head to drop or I roll over on my side, the "wooshing" noise begins!

    I don't want to use a full face mask and I don't know how well/comfortable the masks that go inside the nostrils are.  What about the pillows with the cut-outs, do they help?

    I would appreciate any help, as I am tired of my wife kicking me in the middle of the night because it sounds like she is sleeping with Darth Vader!  Any suggestions?!

    Thank you for contacting CPAP SUPPLYUSA.COM

    Problems with mask leaks is common with men with moustaches. 

    The CPAP pillows have been very helpful for some CPAP users, particularly the full face wearers.    You may seriously want to consider the nasal pillow system to help keep your seal.  The Resmed Swift L/T has proven to be excellent for this purpose.  It is also very comfortable.  It comes with 3 size nasal pillows and has many options, the tubing rotates a full 360 degrees, the pillows rotate to allow a better fit.

    Check our Website and contact us again, if you would like more help.  Let us know how this works for you.
