Remzzzs mask liners

Post by lfreese » Fri Jun 18, 2010 11:46 pm

I have had trouble with using the remzzzs liners, mainly when I inhale , air leaks into my mask through the cotton liner. This air feels really cold and is very uncomfortable, making it impossible to sleep. The air doesn't leak out when I exhale and otherwise stops all of the noises. Gt any ideas?

I don't understand how you could have leaks coming into your mask when the pressure is on the inside going out. I find that liners do make my leak rate several points higher and the leaks going out of my mask bother me enough to wake me up several times during the night. The thing I didn't like about the Remzzz liners is that when I washed them they turned into misshapened rags. They are only intended for one use. The liners that I cut out of an old T-Shirt wash up beautifully and I can use them over and over again. I just put them in a lingerie bag and wash with a regular load of clothes.

I spent a few GREAT nights using the remzzzs liners with my quattro. Then I couldn't get a good seal.
Make sure you have the liners properly placed... it can be hard to get them aligned properly. And pull them out around the outside of your mask (I started from the bridge of my nose) so you have a little on the outside.

I switched to a padacheek mask liner and I LOVE it.
