Thanks for comments. Since my last post I have tried 3 more masks. The ones that don't leak have had other issues, the main one being excessive marking on face. I tried the Resmed Activa, biggest one yet, didn't overtighten but it still left the bridge of my nose very red and swollen as well as across the top of my lip. I have damaged cartlidge in my nose due to several breaks so it marks easily.Unfortunately it does not go away during the day. It's not so much the cosmetic problem I'm worried about, e.g. it looks like I have had a boxing match during night but the further possible cartlidge damage with the constant pressure. It seems that there is no mask out there that doesn't leave impressions on soft skin, even the pillows, which I couldn't tolerate, left a long mark from the eye to the mouth. Please, any more comments would be appreciated especially from a female who has experienced the same. Meeko could you please let me know who the manuf. of the Simplicity is? Thanks again.
