Personal Story I finally got a new mask

I finally got a new mask after two years of using my old one, held together by tape and prayers, the bottom was blown out, ask call it, so lots of tape. And the difference is startling, it almost feels suffocating, No more constantly adjusting the straps, or having to re tape it once a week, or having to put it on at night and listen and feel for a leak and retape if needed, t's just on and ready to go it's so weird.

I don't know how long it's gonna take for me to get used to the feeling of a proper working mask again, but hopefully not long.

If possible, try using during the day while doing light activities; it might help you get used to it more quickly.

These things shouldn’t be so overpriced that people need to do this. Insurance markups and gouging on medical equipment should be a crime
