I tried about 8 masks, purchased by me, before I stumbled onto the Activa nasal mask by ResMed. These 8 included full face (horrible leaks), nasal pillows (good, but not great), other nasal masks (leaks), and even the oral insert "mask". The Activa comes in 3 sizes, but the "Standard" probably fits 90% of males. It's a big mask, but it has one of the best seals on the market. My insurance, Medicare, has, since I found it, bought me 4 more, every 6 months. I've been on CPAP treatment for nearly 5 years and never sleep without it. I'm 75 years old. Best of luck to you.
