Hi,

I have not used Moleskin but I am glad you mentioned it because I have heard that is really does work and I have recommended it to many a person who is having nose bridge soreness from a nasal mask.

Thanks for pointing out that you can get Dr Scholl's brand. I didnt know how it was packaged before.

I would recommend this to anyone.

Regards,

Titrator Ted

You can get it in your foot pad section of your local pharmacy...

I used it but didn't like it. The glue is pretty strong and it was hard on the skin when removing it. Also, it is kind of thick so may cause certain masks to not seal as easily or well.

I've found that the paper tape sold in a dispenser works best. It is thinner, cheaper and comes off easy in the shower with water.

Just my experience and opinion.

I only learned this myself...try applying it to the mask and not your skin.

moleskin can also be good if you're not getting a seal in a certain place--put on mask, not on skin.

Moleskin Plus Padding sounds like the type that has a thin layer of foam between the adhesive and the cotton flannel. There are three products that are used for similar purposes; self adhsive flannel fabric (AKA moleskin), self adhesive foam, and self adhesive foam base with a moleskin surface. The products with foam are probably too thick for CPAP mask fitting purposes unless you are trying to fill a larger gap.
