RemZzzs Minimal Contact Cpap Mask Liners (6C-AVK) - Reduce Noisy Air Leaks and Painful Blisters - Cpap Supplies and Accessories - Compatible with Fisher Paykel and Hans Rudolph

I am a fairly new BiPAP user as of 2/2019. The Amara View mask was ok, but made a lot of squeaking and squelching noises that was quite aggravating. My pressure settings at 18/13 are a bit on the high side, so it was expected. I decided to give these liners a try and they make a TON of difference! No more noises, and much more comfortable than just the mask silicone on your skin. I tend to move around a lot while sleeping which messes with the liner alignment, so I wake up a couple times to reposition it. When that happens, I have to take off the mask fully and carefully position the liner so it lines up correctly with my nostrils. These would be perfect if they came with a way to be secured in place. I do have slightly higher mask leakage with the liner on, but my AHI is actually lower, so I don't think it's a big deal. Besides, I like the minor leakage as the slight airflow leak through the material tends to help cool off where the cushion and my skin meet. Probably my only gripe is the price; rather expensive for what you get in my opinion. They are supposed to be single use, but I get 2-3 uses out of each one until they stretch out too much. Hand washing and then flattening them out to air dry helps to "reset" some stretching and edge curl, but 2-3 days of use is about the limit for me. People say these liners are similar to the look and feel of a T-shirt, and I agree. A t-shirt seems to use slightly thicker thread, looser weave, and a different weave pattern. I tried to take a close-up picture on my phone to show the differences between this liner and a typical t-shirt.

While not listed in the description, these will work for the ResMed F40 mask. I kept trying different covers for the F40, then someone recommended these liners. They work well. One might need to stretch the top hole out a bit to fit right for your nose. However, the fabric is lightweight, actually helped with my mask leaks, and keeps my face from getting sweaty during the night. Yes, they can be a bit pricey, but every liner or cover will wear out, so whatever one uses, you'll need replacing. These can be washed and then lightly ironed out to get a few more uses. But for me, the price is worth the good night's sleep I get.

After trying other barriers, creams, and masks these have been my favorite option. Are they always the most comfortable? No. Do they sometimes block my nose? Yes. But once I got a routine down I would rather have the minor inconveniences than sleep without them. They keep the skin around my mouth free of irritation which allows me to sleep throughout the night. Bonus: you CAN wash and reuse these. I got one, maybe 2 washes out of my first box before reordering. The price point is not realistic on a monthly basis so I am thankful there is some room to stretch the use of these.

It took some time to get these to work well with my F40 mask. Now, I am soooo comfortable sleeping and I'm glad I didn't give up. This tweak is based on my face shape and mask, so results will be different depending upon the user and mask. I ended up stretching out the top hole so that the nasal area is significantly larger, and my nose now sits directly on the silicone (see images) - that way there is no interrupted airflow from fabric. The rest of my face does not come in contact with the silicone and the fabric is very comfortable. No more leaks, no discomfort/lines on face. Super happy with this. Yes, they are expensive, but it beats not sleeping. I will say that if you have any trouble with this, to contact the company. They were wonderful and bent over backwards to make sure I got a good fit.

The material they are made of is like a thin, soft, cotton t-shirt. It was the correct model for the mask, but the two small holes for the nose and mouth weren't big enough. I had to keep adjusting it, then the are of the outer edges that are supposed to protect your skin from the mask, were out of alignment. It might work if it were made out of a soft, but mildly flexible material, instead of flimsy soft cotton. Also, very expensive, especially when you only get one use per each unit. I returned it. I also had to stop using the $140.00 mask I had just paid for with cash, no fault of this product, but expensive mistake.

I’ve been using these liners for about a week now and will follow up at a later date as I get used to them. I say I need to get used to them for a few reasons. These are issues that may help if you’re considering investing in these. First, I use the ResMed Airsense 10 with the Dreamwear full face mask. I hated the silicone and suffered through it only because I didn’t want to pay for the unusually high priced liners (Dreamwear liners are few and far between). Well, I broke down and paid the $$$ for these when I just couldn’t make a successful one myself. The comfort is fine with the thin cotton. I find it a tad scratchy but it’s far better than the sticky silicone so okay. It goes on and stretches to fit easily. Most folks are saying it creates a good seal but I can’t say that’s true with my mask. It goes on well then my mask tends to slip around a bit when I move positions and air escapes. That wakes me up and I have to adjust. This happens all night long defeating my purpose of using a CPAP for a solid nights sleep. I also keep tabs on my sleep with the ResMed app that registers my activity and “grades” my sleep. I lose points every night for the mask seal/adjustments. I did try using a different size Dreamwear full face mask and changing the mask headgear fit but it still wouldn’t hold the seal. Another thing worth mentioning for anyone reading this that uses the Dreamwear ff mask, cut the center piece of cotton so that there is only one large hole. There is a center piece of fabric to cover the strip of silicone under the nose. When these liners slip, and they will, that small strip never failed to cover the nasal air passage. I struggled to exhale and the pressurized air diminishes. These are expensive but CPAP users can understand the need for them. I believe makers of all liners bank on our discomfort. What I did was take some heavy clear vinyl and trace the mask. Then cut the vinyl to make a template and Voila! I can now cut my own as needed with some old *lint free material. If you do this, note; Lint free material! Whatever you use, you get into your lungs directly! In the meantime, I wash and re-use these liners. Simply wash when you wash your mask, shape, lay flat on a towel. I have UV tank so I put everything in there before bedtime. EZ-PZ. Hope it helps you decide. I relied on other reviews before investing in these things. Just my 2 cents as well. Did it help? Let me know :-)

I had a horrible rash, went to Dermatologist, she could not fix it… so embarrassing in public. Bought these mask liners, in a week it was gone! Cant say enough. Thank you!

Excellent product! I am prone to have skin problems within the first day or two of using my cpap. I purchased several different mask liners and not one offered the protection my face needed along with a quality seal. I have NO LEAKS and can wear my mask nightly. The liners do seem a bit costly, but they definitely work as described.
