Dry crack lips--Cpap air

Ive had dry cracked lips for a few years nothing has helped. I started CPAP last Jun. The cracked lips were there prior to treatment but even with vaseline in lips before bed, cracking is still bad.

Philips Respironics tubing problem

In the last few nights my tubing keeps disconnecting from my ffm. I have a new replacement mask and tried the new tubing on that and the tubing disconnects from that too. How can I get the tubing to stay on. Its never disconnected before.

Where to buy filters

Is it safe to buy filters online. I was checking amazon because my supplier is supposed to send, but last time they sent one. I'd rather have larger supply on hand.

Re: Filter question

Thank you. Never had to use filter for anything before. I may have put it backwards a few weeks ago. Is that bad.

Re: Padacheek dyed mask. Isn't ruined?

Thank you folks I did email padacheek and she said it doesn't harm the liner. She said there was a note saying to wash padacheek first but of course with my low energy, foggy, lyme brain I didn't see it as it took me a long time to figure out how to put the padacheek on. I was paying more attention ...

Re: Padacheek dyed mask. Isn't ruined?

Well I don't think pink dye on a mask liner is a good thing. Is it. I've soaked it for a few hours to clean but still really pink. I'm annoyed because the liner helped and was comfortable, but I'm not happy with dye all over liner.

Padacheek dyed mask. Isn't ruined?

So I wipe my mask liner with a baby wipe every day. Today I noticed in the light it had pink on it. It's not coming off. Is the mask ruined. I didn't think padacheek liners would do this. It's still soaking g in soapy water. Is there something else I should try to fix this?
