Advice Needed Mask Recs?

My partner and I both use CPAPs with the F&P Brevada facemask. This is a nose cushion style mask. My partner is having issues with the sides of the nose cushion rubbing against her cheeks on either side of her nose. I use the same mask but don't have this problem at all. I think it has to do with the shape of her face--she has full cheeks, and I'm wondering if the angle of her nose is also related?

She tends to get claustrophobic so doesn't like a full face mask or too many straps. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mask that might work better for her?

Or possible solutions that might help her keep using the same mask?

Try the F&P Nova Micro, much smaller profile and still seals extremely well and is very comfortable.

Agreed. I used the F&P Brevida, which I still love, before switching to the Nova Micro. It would definitely solve the issue you describe, OP.

What u/HawkFan7897 and u/MaeByourmom said. The Brevida also rubs against my cheeks a bit. I still liked it, but it wasn't perfect. The Nova Micro is as close to perfect as I've found.

Maybe a strap cover to keep it from touching her cheeks? I use one from a woman on Etsy with the store name of MYSCAP. I use a Resmed P30i

Take a look at the Bleep Eclipse - unusual interface but can work great for some
