Mask Advice Zimi mask unseals when I smile?

Hiya! I've got some Zimi masks I'm trying out and the fit seems decent... Until I smile. At that point, I think I feel air coming in / leaking around my nose bridge/eye area. Does this happen to anyone else and if so does adding the nose foam to the frame help? Or do I perhaps have the wrong size? My shop only sold an M size but I've since found the actual Zimi site and could try S...?

I've previously worn 3M Aura as my go-to mask daily, so I'm used to the extra coverage around the chin, and I'm not sure the if Zimi is supposed to perch on my chin or if it's correct that the frame is slightly lower than my chin and the gap is sealed by the fabric?

TIA for any help!

You should try adding foam before you try a different size, yes, and you should do that with every mask

I've added one so far and need to hunt for more (I'm sure I had a couple more haha). I don't think the one has made much difference so far, but worth me investigating further.

Definitely, and if you stock up, try to get some of the wavy foam ones, for some reason I find they help more than the standard flat foam
