I tried this last night and again tonight. Tomorrow I will look at my data and see how my leaks look. I also use the Aloe gel in my hair daily. Makes a great hair gel.

I'm going to get some 100% aloe gel and try it. My mask leaks like crazy and I can't possibly tighten it anymore than it is. It's fine when I fall asleep but 99% I wake up with it leaking. I hope the Aloe helps, I'll let you know!

Hi
I have been reading all you comments about if Aloe Vera helps. Can I just say YES IT DOES. now of course I would say that as I am a distributor for an Aloe Vera product. But feel free to contact me to discus this further.

We can buy said product OTC practically
ANYWHERE!
--including many dollar stores.

Old thread, but what the heck. I tried some thick green aloe vera gel a few months after starting CPAP (several years ago)... it didn't end well. It left a lot of dried residue on my face/pillow and didn't stop leaks in the slightest. Also, my mask was hard to peel off in the morning. That being said, it was some weird brand I never saw before or since at a small local health food store.

Like hair gel, it gets stiff when dry.

She said it was safe to silicone and it made the mask seal better and not leak. I used to use it years back. Has anyone tried it? My leaks are minimal but I think I'll go buy a bottle and try it again.
I am so thankful to hear a solution for a better fit for my nasal mask.
I am picking some up today
Thanks so much!!!!
