A full face mask should only be used by those who are unable to use a nasal mask. That doesn't appear to be the case here. The choice of a mask is very individual, so I can't advise you.

However, a if the mask is too loose or too tight it won't seal correctly. Newbies in particular tend to make it too tight. It's very unlikely that you have it too loose.
