Leaking Help
Any suggestions for stopping leaks? I am up to as much as 37% of the night with large leaks. I have tightened the headgear as much as tolerable. Numbers are good when not leaking. Thanks.

Are you washing your face good before going to bed? You should have clean face to perfect the seal.Jason S. wrote:Any suggestions for stopping leaks?

When was the last time you changed your pads on the mask?

Re: Leaking Help
Have you tried Pad-a-Cheek.com liners? They supposedly do a great job, and overtightening is counterproductive - creates new tiny leaks where they shouldn't be either. How many other masks have you tried?

Re: Leaking Help
You should be changing your cushions on your mask on a monthly basis and no matter what you do you will get some leaks but we went to minimize them of course and 37% is too much. Try the Remzzz liners too they help alot
Re: Leaking Help
Here's a tip I learned about that really works! A tiny thin dab of Lansinoh around the cushions and voila, makes the seal sticky and no more leaks! Try it and let us know!

Have you tried Pad a Cheek anti leak strap - works wonders for leaks
