Greetin's y'all.
So I got my new Auto BiPap machine now... And I've been with it a week so far. Tried three different FFM's that I have, but they all wind up leaking in the middle of the night or towards morning. And tugging & snugging on the straps doesn't seem to help. Has anyone had experience with augmenting the seal of the mask on the face? Like does that liner some people cut out of a t-shirt help to stop leaks, or do I need to put super poly-grip around the seal of my mask.... Who has tried, and what works?
Thanks.

Re: High pressure mask leaks
The larger the mask, the harder it is to contain the leaks...WindFlyer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 11:27 amGreetin's y'all.

I ended up relying on mask liners to tame the leaks, so they didn't wake me up.
A mask liner will produce a less than perfect seal, but they feel good, and make leaks unobjectionable.
