I have ordered Reszzzs which hopefully will arrive soon. The problem I am having is that I wash my face right before going to bed and during the night my face gets oily again and sometimes my auto pap goes up to 15. When this happens I fight with my mask to get it to re-seal. Short of getting up and rewashing my face and mask in the middle of the night, are there any other ideas that might help?
thanks

Re: what to clean face with
I have the same problem. I can wash all I want but in 4-6 hours my skin is oily and my mask is making fart noises and leaking. I tried Remzzzs but had much better luck with Padacheek. Same idea, a cloth gasket between face and mask. But Padacheeks last many months as they are made from a very strong, washable, microfiber. Remzzzs are made from a thin cheaper cotton I believe. The nice thing about Padacheeks is they wrap around the mask and are held in palce by the hose. So you do not have to position them perfect, hold them face up, and carefully place your face down into the mask. You just put it on like normal, and perhaps give a little tug if needed to make sure it has no creases. Order 2 so you can have one clean all the time and one in use. You still have to wash your face every night. But the oil will not go through the cloth in one night. I wash mine every 5-7 days. Same with mask. Used to have to wash daily or at least use wipes. Be careful not to cut the hole too big as it stretches with use.
