Re: Long time cpap user having problems!

Well i used my homemade mask liner and it worked great!! I didnt wake up from leaking like I normally do. If i did wake up a few times, i dont remember it. And normally I remember it!! So crossing my fingers that this helps! Also Remzzz is sending me a free trial so i can see how these work.

Re: Long time cpap user having problems!

So I just made my own liner for my mask. Was easy of course to make. Put it on and seemed to help for the minute i tested it. Once i took it off my mask, the mask started leaking. So im crossing my fingers that this works!!

Is there any way to keep it on the mask or do you just lay it on?

Re: Long time cpap user having problems!

I normally have oily skin. Dont think its from the mask. A new mask will work fine but once the mask is worn for a while, that combined with my oily skin makes it leak alot

Re: Long time cpap user having problems!

All of the masks seem to work for a month then get worse. I've read instructions on how to adjust. No changes in sleep patterns. I have lost 37 lbs in the past 3 months but this has been going on much longer than that. The mask is about 3 months old and can't get replacement until 6 months

Long time cpap user having problems!

I've had sleep apnea for 5 years and I have been having so many problems lately. My mask seems to never stay sealed to my face. I have been sleeping worse that when I didn't use my machine. I have switched to 4 different types of masks and I still have the problem. I make sure the straps aren't too ...
