Sleep Weaver and Remzzs Liners

Post by Gaga58 » Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:58 am

I received my sample of the Remzzs liner in the mail yesterday and tried it with the SW...no go!! The SW is just too soft I think for that type of liner and I actually had a higher leak line, as well as large leaks on my data this morning. More arousals too from the leaking I think. I can say, I didn't "feel" the leak around the eyes once I was able to get it in place, but you can definitely tell there's less of a seal all the way around the mask with them on, the cloth mask just doesn't fit as well with a liner. But for those wanting to try a liner with their conventional mask, the company does offer free samples to try if you're interested!

I have been trying Xena's tip on washing the face before masking up, along with going back to the bed instead of the couch for sleeping purposes. I'm not sure which one has had the most impact on the leak line with the SW, but whichever one it is the line has improved, was just hoping to get it a little better. I figure if the numbers are good and I'm sleeping good, I'll live with the leak line!! I may try to work with these a little later on and see if there can't be some improvement with the liner, but with the issues I've been having lately, right now I'm just working on getting some good sleep with better numbers...I'll save the "playing with" till later!!

Ugh! Sorry to hear the liner didn't work for you Gaga.

When I receive my PadaCheek liner and try it out, will post here.

I tried making a liner from thin fleece, but couldn't make it stay in place, and I feel the same thing would have happened as with your Remzzzz one.

Hang in there!

Cheers,
xena

Ladies
You should try Karens liners at padacheek, hers are "attached" to the mask....so no sliding or it falling off. If you don't see a liner for your mask, just email her and she will work one out for you. I have 5 of them, 2 for my quattro and 3 for my hybrid.....gotta love that Karen.
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.
