A CPAP mask is designed to fit snugly to the contours of the face. There is no distinctive feature to separate masks for men and women; these masks fit all but these should be tested for fit and comfort before purchase.
Test Your CPAP Mask
Being diagnosed with sleep apnea should not be the end of the world for you. Technology has produced sleep apnea machines that are comfortable, portable, and offered at competitive prices. Upon diagnosis, the doctor determines what causes the sleep apnea and recommends the appropriate face mask if you are the type who breathes through the mouth or prefers to sleep on one side the entire night. Choosing your CPAP gear should not be difficult because you can find the right mask in Canada.
Choosing your CPAP mask is just as important is choosing the CPAP air generator because these will be used regularly for long periods until your sleep apnea is treated.

Add your commentThis is more of a question and not a comment; where can I see pictures of the different available CPAP masks. Thanks
I found out that I have sleep apnea back in feb. of 09. I was tested and was told by my Doctor that I had to start wearing a cpap machine while I slept. So we tried a couple different types of masks and all were very uncomfortable. I ended up keeping a full-faced mask and after learning how to adjust It I dont have any problems with air leaks or anything. My only problem is that Im using a cpap machine without a humidifier so the full mask really dries out my throat & nose.
