Re: ZITS!

Are you using the cushion with the memory foam in it or just the regular silicone only cushion? If the memory foam....when was the last time you got a new cushion?

Re: ZITS!

THANKS everyone!!! This is sooo helpful! How do you wash your masks? Do you get the "memory foam" or whatever- sorry I sound ignorant i know- wet too? Last time i did that it took like 3 days to dry.

ZITS!

I started with my cpap machine in December and lately the mask (full face) is giving me terrible zits around my chin and under my lip. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Re: Cleaning

This is a huge help, thank you!! The cleaning thing has me stumped surprisingly. Do you make sure the warm soapy water runs all through the hose?
