What is the best nasal CPAP mask for not leaking?
What is the best nasal mask for not leaking? I have used a full face mask for over a decade. However, I have recently lost 30 pounds while on Zepbound (a weight loss control medicine; for diabetic patients it's called Mounjaro). My CPAP doctor says it's still unlikely that my sleep apnea will get to a point where I don't need CPAP. However, I'd like to try a nasal mask. I'm hoping that the pressure on the auto-CPA will now be low enough that with a nasal CPAP mask, my mouth doesn't open up. What is nasal CPAP mask that is least likely to leak? From past experience, I know I don't do well will nasal pillows.

www.cpap.com who sponsor this forum have ratings next to the different masks - see if that helps you.
BUT
Keep in mind that your facial structure may by one in a million, and what fits the majority of people will not necessarily fit you.
You may be lucky and hit gold on the first mask you try. You may also need to go through a number of different masks before you find the one that's right.
cpap.com - and probably other sites - have return options, I don't you if you pay a bit more for that, check.
My only connection to cpap.com is that of a very grateful user of this forum. I live abroad, so I rarely buy there - the cost of delivery is too high. The few time I did buy, they were very good, and when I once received filters that were too thick, they refunded them.
Wishing you good luck!

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
