It is easy to make a liner for your mask yourself to experiment with.TerriAH wrote:The medical supply people told me that they will order a nasal mask with cloth but how does that work? I checked the links for the cloth masks, they look promising. How can I be sure that my doctor and med supply people know about these?
Get some old well washed t-shirt knit fabric
Lay the mask on it and draw a line around it adding an inch or 2 and cut it out.
Fold in half lengthwise and cut a small triangle for your nose/mouth.
Lay the liner on the mask and bend forward to try out. The triangle you cut out should be too small. Adjust by trimming a little bit each time until your mouth and nose are just free. When you have it just right, lay it on a piece of paper and trace it for future use.
The doctor doesn't care what you use as long as you use it and it works. As far as the med supply people are concerned - it is their job to make this work for you and to know this stuff.
