Occasionally ,while wearing my CPAP mask ,I will drool. Is there some kind of mask liner I can insert in my mask to soak up the drool? Some kind of liner that is disposable.
I wear a Simplus Full Face Mask. Thank you for your help.
Drooling problem while usining Full CPEP face mask
Re: Drooling problem while usining Full CPEP face mask
Just making sure; is it drool or condensation collecting on the inside of the mask?

Sometimes I drool when wide awake, nowhere near my machine . . .

I drool when I mask up in an FFM. I have caught myself doing it if I wake up slightly in the middle of the night. It doesn't bother me. Doesn't effect my AHI. But I never have any wetness in the mask in the morning. Looks like the airflow thru the mask dries it up.
So if you are getting wetness in the mask, it may be rainout OR it might be condensation from exhaled breath OR it might be drool.

I drool terribly and have never found a solution. My mask will get scanky from drool. SOmetimes I have to wipe it out during the night.

Re: Drooling problem while usining Full CPEP face mask
You might try just taping both corners of your mouth so that your lips are able to be open a little bit for breathing, but the corners will be closed enough so you won't drool. A mask liner like Padacheek is fine for small leaks of saliva if you wash it every day, however if you are really drooling a lot then it'll just get soggy and uncomfortable. That's all I got. Usually people complain about dry mouth with FFMs in this neck of the woods.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
