Hi All, I got my DreamWear Full Face Mask today, tried it on and the nose bit covers half my nostils on each side, is this how it's meant to be?

Sorry if this is a silly question. Lol....

Thanks Pat x

I'm also new to the DreamWear Full Face mask. I've used it for 4 nights now. I saw the holes for the nostrils and they looks to be about the size of my nostrils but never directly compared the two. All I did upon receiving it was to hold it up to my face, run through the mask fit test on my machine and saw that it sealed well and air moved through freely...then adjusted the straps accordingly.

Not sure if that answers your question or not, but the hole size doesn't seem to be an issue for me. My only issue is my mouth relaxes at night and my jaw moves back which then causes leaks by my nose, which last night a chin-strap fixed. I'm hoping in time i can train my jaw not to relax so much...since I really don't like wearing the chin strap.

It is important to use a mask that fits correctly. I believe this mask comes in four different sizes. Here is video that may be helpful as well as sizing guide. Make sure when you print out the sizing guide that it is scaled properly by using a credit card or quarter to check.

Hi,

Thank you both for your replies. I did use the sizing guide before I ordered it, and it stated I needed a small, but I'm just concerned because half my nostrils will be covered by the mask.

Oh well I'll give it a try tonight, see how I get on.

Thanks Pat X

If I am understanding you properly, you are worried that the hole for you to breathe through your nose looks rather small. Don't worry, this is normal. If it fits well and is otherwise relatively comfortable, it's not a problem.
