Help with Mask "Farting" sounds

Post by thesleeplady » Sun Nov 01, 2015 1:06 pm

I have been in the sleep field helping CPAP patients for many years. My sister started using something called maskmate and she says it helps with the sounds the previously woke her. She can now sleep through the night.

Proper tightening and a clean face will take care of "farting".

I've never heard of maskmate. However, I dealt with "face farts" when adjusting to the mask. In spite of washing well to eliminate facial oils etc. I couldn't tame the leaks that cause the farts. Then I learned about mask liners; there are several brands out there. They were a godsend for me. The noise comes from leaks in the mask seal that many people can tame with washing and proper adjustment of headgear.

I had same Problem mask liners did the trick for me!!!
some time the NEW mask liner worked ok for a short while Then they started

I would use a liner it fixed that
some times I will wash hand soap or dish soap and let them dry

when you wash them they will shrink back to size too

I will try to cut my own out of old thin T-shirts link to DIY mask cushion's http://montfordhouse.com/cpap/diy-cotton-mask-liner.pdf

also cleaning your humidifier tank with CLR Calcium Lime Rust Cleaner remember to RINSE Good

Maskmate appears to be some sort of ointment
http://maskmate.net/p/instructions-for-use
I do wonder how something could be a lubricant and at the same time tacky enough to help seal but hey...who knows.
I had never heard of it either so I googled it and this is what I found.
Not cheap but nothing pertaining to cpap ever is "cheap" it seems like.

I started out with a pressure of 5 and now up to 10 and my readings are still 3.8. Should I increase it to 11? This is year 2 of therapy

This seems completely unrelated to OP, why don't you start a thread rather than hijacking this one emoticon so you will understand it is just a question and comment, no rudeness implied.

Is maskmate your product? Be honest, if it is I am sure folks here would like to ask some questions about it.

Wonder what happened to the OP, funny how they drop a load then disappear.

OP thesleeplady
website email thesleepleader

Probably just a coincidence. Do they really think we would buy from someone so deceptive, with such a crappy website?

Not this crew...

Just another f---g spammer.
Heretofore JAFG.
Pad a cheek fleece liners or Lansinoh are far more effective, without using unknown toxins.
