Irritation on back of neck

Hello again!

I just got my new Resmed F20 mask and tried it out last night. It worked great.

The only issues I am having (and did with other mask) is irritation from the headgear on the back of my neck. Especially nights I sweat...

Does anyone have any suggestions for reducing this? Or something I can put on my neck to get rid of this?

Strap covers available at http://padacheek.com

Place a piece of cloth between the strap and the back of your neck. Best bet is either a washcloth or a sock. If an adult sock is too big, try a baby sock.

Seconded on the Padacheek strap covers. I use their neck strap cover on the F20 as well. I have to tighten it down a fair bit to keep leaks at bay. The cover makes it much more comfortable. I also going to grab some of the generic covers to use on the top straps.
