I like to wear moisturizer and always wake up to a "sliding" mask. I saw someone post about these and decided to give them a try. When they arrived, now that I see what they are I'm sure we can make some at home lol
They worked great! Not only could I wear moisturizer but I could sleep on my side with ease. Usually, I have to reseat my mask when I roll over and that wakes me up a little more and then I'm up. Never had to reseat my mask once all night. Stayed nicely in place all night plus I was able to loosen the straps a bit.
Slept through the entire night with my mask (a first in a long time - I usually ditch the mask an hour or so before the alarm goes off) and dropped my AHI from 6 to 2. I feel better this morning than I have in a long time.

Re: Tried Remzzs
I found the REMzzzs to only last a day or so and they distorted terribly when washed. I took an old, thin cotton blend T-shirt and made 16 seals out of it. So easy to do and they wash and dry in a lingerie bag beautifully. If I forget to wash them one week, I have enough to go another week. I, too, like to slather my face in moisturizer and love the feel of cotton, instead of silicone, on my face.

Re: Tried Remzzs
Made some of mine out of an old t-shirt too also a couple of pairs of old cotton undies, but I went around each one with a zig zag stitch, including the nose cut out. Now they wash up and keep their shape much better.
