lansinoh cream on full face mask?

Post by Country4ever » Tue Apr 20, 2010 6:20 pm

I've heard of using this on nasal pillows to help with leaks, but do any of you use it on a full face mask?

I've used lansinoh with my opus 360 nasal pillows and just started using it on my zest nasal mask. It works great. I use a very small amount and spread it on the edge of the silicone that touches my face. Haven't had any leaks since. I would imagine it would work on a full face mask too.

Good Luck!

I use it with my Quattro. I helps keep this mask from 'sliding around'. I tried one night without it as an experiment and got up after a couple of hours and put some on.

Would any lanolin cream work? The hospital I work at has little tubes of lanolin but not that name brand? I'm so tired of the leaks and TIRED from not wearing the leaking mask that I would try anything. Thanks.

Hi CMorrison,
I think that any lanolin would work.
