If your talking about a problem with the head band sliding up or down the front of the mask, I addressed that in my last message. Below is a copy from the section of my last message that addresses that problem:

"I try to keep the head band wrapped right above where the hose connects to the mask (exhaust), hoping it won't slide up at night, which was a problem at first because of how the mask slants in and upward above the hose connection (exhaust). Last night, I placed a piece of Velcro on my mask right above the spot where the hose connects to it (the exhaust). Then I placed the other piece of Velcro on the head band. This kept the head band from sliding up or down overnight"

Last night was the second night using this remedy. So far so good. With me though, it's doing such a good job stoping the leaks that it almsot feel like I have to get used to a higher pressure.
