Does the ResQVac mask feel weird compared to the old red one?

I noticed the softer feel too. The old red one always felt like it was pressing hard around the face, more like a rigid cup. The ResQVac mask has a little more give, so it sits closer without that stiff edge digging in. I keep mine in my carry on since I fly a lot and it barely takes up space. I tried the adult mask on myself once just to see how it sits and it sealed fine around the mouth and nose. Didn’t actually use it on anyone yet though, so I can’t say how it behaves in a real situation. But just comparing the feel, the newer one is definitely less awkward against the face than the old style.

Softer for sure, but it sealed fine on my wife.

Mine came with the adult and child masks and the adult one seals better on me than the old red cup ever did. The rim is thinner so it sort of molds instead of sitting flat. Worth testing the fit on yourself once before you stash it.

The mask on mine definitely feels less stiff than the old red style. I tried the adult one on myself for a second and it sat a lot easier around the jaw. Can’t say how it does on someone actually choking since I haven’t had to use it, but just wearing it felt way less awkward.

Mine actually feels firmer than I expected, so I’m not sure the softness is the whole story. The old red one I had was stiff but it also had a rounder shape that kind of sat on my face instead of around my mouth. The ResQVac adult mask is wider and flatter, so on me it doesn’t feel softer so much as just shaped different. Almost like it’s meant to cover more area. I tried it on myself once and it sat fine, but my brother has a narrower face and he said it felt loose around the edges compared to the old style. So maybe it’s less about soft versus stiff and more about which face shape it happens to match. I still tossed it in the kitchen drawer since it’s compact, but I’m not assuming it’ll feel the same on everyone who tries it.

I actually think the old red one fit me better. The new mask feels kind of squishy on my face, like it doesn’t want to stay put when I press down. I’ve only had mine a few weeks though so maybe I just need to get used to it.
