I tried Pad A Cheek mask liner for the first time last night and for the first time in my recollection, I was not awakened by a leak. I use a Quattro FX, size Large (comes with Medium headgear).
I was skeptical. And, the nose hole in the Pad-a-Cheek fabric seemed small, and the fabric covered my mouth. I wondered if I should try enlarging the hole before using the liner. But, I didn't.
I have to guard against being too optimistic based on one trial, but it worked great! I'm sorry that I have to supplement the mask with a liner, but the Pad A Cheek seems a good product, as it is washable and reusable. I enlarged the nose hole upwards this morning by about a half inch, but the fabric still covers my mouth. If I were to enlarge the hole to uncover my mouth, I'm afraid I'd have to cut too much away and the seal would be lost? Anyone try this?
