. Have anyone had the same problem? Will a maskliner soften the mask and the problem might go away? I'm using a Size Medium.

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable
I just received my brand new Pad a Cheek liner for this mask. It helps with leaks so I can keep it a little bit bit looser, plus it shields some of my nose from irritation (I've never had issues with silicone before, but I do get tender chapping from this mask).
I don't know whether it'll help you... I just find that I have to keep straps a little tighter without the liner because of noisy leaks, so maybe there will be less pressure for your face.

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable
I contacted Karen via email. The liner is well designed... I had to cut the nostril part a tiny bit wider, but if I used the small, it would have been ideal and you can't make the hole smaller

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable
While you are waiting for a liner, make one outta an old tshirt. Trace the mask cushion on a piece of paper, cut it out and trace the cutout on the tshirt. See if this helps. I would try this before ordering the liner. The liners are nice and washable.

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable
Sounds like a great idea Sherif Buford.How do I attach the T shirt fleece to the mask frame? I love the F30. Last night I tried it with a Lady's sweatband to keep my jaw close.it was an amazing comfy mask except the pain on my tooth. The F30 has amazing potential to become a mask to replace all masks.and I have tried 9 different masks over the years. So far the F30 feels like the mask with the least amount of leaks and problems in the beginning.I'm very optimistic

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable
Tooth pain might be unrelated to the mask.
See your dentist.

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable
Chunkyfrog it feels like pressure pain. The inside of my mouth (cheek) have dents too from the pressure. So I definitely think it's pressure.
I tried to sleep with my F30 last night again. But every time I fall asleep my Astral throws out an alarm to show leaks. But I don't feel leaks anywhere. Which is really strange.Once I wake up again it goes silent. It's really annoying. What can the problem be? I'm using a Lady's sweat headband as a chin strap. Can it be that the mask leaks between the mask bottom and chinstrap and I don't feel any cold air escaping? Or maybe my chinstrap relaxes tension during falling asleep /sleep(its relatively stiff when I'm awake) ? I'm aware of using a soft cervical collar but I live in a hot climate. But at the moment I'm so frustrated.
