They tend to leak more, slide around more on your face and be noisy. At least mine did. I was a die-hard mouth breather nearly all my life due to allergies. I never dreamed I would be able to manage with a nasal mask. Lo and behold, to my amazement I found that with the nasal mask and humidifier, I breathed comfortably and easily with my mouth shut all night long and IT WAS SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE!!! I could hardly believe it. Now I'm a confirmed, fulltime nose breather except for the rare occasions when allergies are really kicking up and allergy meds haven't quite kicked in. So give it a shot.
