PAC mask liners work great

Post by Uncle_Bob » Tue Nov 02, 2010 2:23 pm

I received my pad-a-cheek mask liner for my quattro yesterday and tried it out last night.

Attaching it to the mask was a breeze, i didn't even read the instructions.

I could not believe how comfortable both the head cushion and the actual liner material were.

Last night was a completely different Quattro experience...

* i didn't have to tighten the straps as much as i normally do
* i had no facial marks in the morning
* i got to sleep easier due to no silicon against the skin feeling
* i woke with the machine showing a 0 leak rate

I'm thinking of customizing it slightly as the bottom part of the liner does cover my mouth. I just need to be careful not to break it.

Great product Karen !!

Silicon has not touched my face in 8mths,
since I received the liner prototype.
It is still going strong.
It has been washed many, many times.
With each washing it gets softer and more comfortable.
I bought a backup unit, but have yet to get it out.
As UB says, this liner becomes part of the mask.
You don't have to fumble-bumble around trying to
get the liner set when you put your mask on.
Very easy on and off the mask.

So.....here is where the rubber meets the road.....
right now this liner has a cost of 2.18/mth.
There is not telling how long it will last.
Let's just say I toss it at 1yr, it would have
cost $1.45/mth. That's $.05/night.
You can't buy comfort like that anywhere.

This is a no brainer.
