padacheek didnt work now what?
Mask seals when humidifier is down, but then I dry out. When I try turning it up Seal doesn't hold. Tried ear plug material, tried padacheek liner, neither worked. Liner let too much air out, any other ideas for keeping seal throughout the night.

Also if you look at my picture - I hacked my mask with a headgear from a Mirage FX nasal mask. The medium headgear just did not fit my head right. Since I did this I have had a better time getting the mask to seal.

Re: padacheek didnt work now what?
Hello there. I am sorry that the mask liner for the Quattro FX did not solve your leak problems. If you would like to return it for the Anti-Leak strap, that should actually help with the leaks. If any of the PAD A CHEEK products do not work for you, I will be happy to help you. Just email me from the website. We stand behind all of our products and I do not want you to spend money on something from us that does not work for you.

Re: padacheek didnt work now what?
I used the mask liner AND the anti-leak strap... the combo was the ticket for me... NO LEAKS w/Mirage Quattro FF mask.
