Marks on face by full face mask

[Sonofkong]

If any body has any ideas or thoughts on how to prevent this from happening we would like to hear from you. My wife cant put cream on her face because the mask doesn't seal right & tends to slide off when she does put cream on. Putting cream on after, helps only a little. The marks stay Her cheeks whole day. Also are there special bandaids made for the nose bridge protection? We have lost are insurance and are struggling to keep our heads above water. If any one has a new different setup they are not using I'll be glad to pay the shipping thru Paypal to see if another setup works. The size needed is Size is small or medium.

Thank you for you Input & generosity

Pada's got strap covers and a nose bridge protector, if that's where your problems are.

If she has marks on her face that long from a mask, she has her mask way over tightened. I crank mine down sometimes in my sleep and end up with marks but they are usually gone within an hour, but that is really cranked down.
Most masks are designed to not be cranked down like that.
You can also try and pad the straps yourself. Their are products made that will work, but you can make some kind of pad yourself that won't cost you any money.
If you can't find anything around the house check out the local drug store maybe you can make something out of some inexpensive shoe inserts.

Probably a good idea. I use the make-your-own-out-of-an-old-T-shirt version, and they help with both sealing the mask and keeping me from getting red marks. I do use a dab of silicone earplugs on the mask at the bridge of the nose (between the mask and the T-shirt) to help keep the T-shirt gasket in place, and that may also cushion my nose a little bit more. Don't know, because I haven't tried it without it.

What kind of mask does your wife use, Sonofkong?

If loosening the straps is not enough, also try the Snugglehose soft strap covers.
