I bought the F & P Infinity last summer and have used it on and off, alternating with my ultra mirage mask (especially when my skin is irritated from the mirage). I was looking forward to this being a better mask for me because of how little contact it makes with the face,etc. But I've found that the strap just keeps stretching and stretching so that the mask comes loose from my nose and then it leaks. The other disappointing thing about this device is the tube connecting the mask to the cpap tubing--it is not constructed with the kinds of joints that would make it more flexible, so the mask dislodges easier than the mirage mask does. I am also looking for a new mask. I've been pretty satisfied with the Ultra Mirage except that lately, the morning marks on to the sides of my nose have not been fading away as they used to--my skin retains a redish color, is dry and flaky and irritated. Any other mask suggestions/nasal pillow suggestions?
