After two months with the AirTouch I am absolutely satisfied with this mask. No irritation, no pressure sores, decreased leaks, better sleep--what more can I say. Oh, yeah, my husband now has an AirTouch and is very happy with it. He has scars on the bridge of his nose from sores from previous masks. He has for years put a piece of tape across the bridge to prevent the sores. He has a "crease" at the corner of his mouth as a result of an automobile accident when he was young. He was putting a pad in that area with his old mask because the mask did not conform to that crease and it leaked. With the AirTouch, he has discontinued the tape strip and the pad for that crease. No leaking and no irritation. He said he feels he is sleeping better. So in this house you have two definite fans of the AirTouch!

Is Air Touch available with BIPAP? I switched from CPAP to BIPAP several months ago. I think that the nasal pillows are working very well for me, even though I was a mouth breather all my life until I had surgery for a deviated septum. I don't know how much I breathe through my mouth now. I do know that I wake up with such a dry mouth that I can't swallow a couple of times a night. Of course, dry mouth is a side effect of several of my meds.

I'm glad you've found something that works so well for you and your family.
