Wow, I have been looking for something like this. Very sensitive skin, so I have mask marks all day and sore spots on my face. No matter how much I losen up mask I sometimes crash with mask in sheet or pillow and end up with marks. I will wait to hear how you like them! This is an expensive problem!!

Louise, I have never seen one.  Found the web site "Quitetusliners.com and thought they might help.  I had tried Remzzz's liners and did not like them so I thought I would give these a try.  They have already been mailed & hope they arrive tomorrow.  SUpposedly they can be used 3-7 times and then hand washed and air dried for reuse so the cost would come down.  10 for $20 and something (this includes shipping) They can have (if you want) a "tacking" agent on the back so they adhere to the mask when applying.  Go to the website and check them out.  The man who developed them is a CPAP uses and came up with the idea due to his personal "trials" with CPAP.  Hope this helps.

Good Morning Louise~hope you slept well!  I used a quietus liner last night.  It WAS much more comfortable, did not move or slide around.  Cloth feels so much better against your face.  I was not aware of any leaking.  I would say for the 1st try they were great.  Hardly any marks on my face, either.  SO I would suggest you try them.  The man who sells & makes them is very nice.  Quietusliners.com  is the website.  You can also order buy mail & if you want that info I will be happy to give it to you.  He needs the make/model/size of your mask.

Ginny, what are Quietus liners?

Ginny, I just got back here this morning. So glad to hear that the liners are helping. I am going to go check those out. I used a new mask cushion last night and once again I have marks on my nose & cheek. I keep going back to old cushions until they are really shot because the last three new ones have left sore spots. I have also tried thicker creams on those spots and then end up with white heads, so I think these liners are the trick. Let me know if they are not still working for you!!

Hi Louise~Night before last they worked beautifully.  Last night I had some leaks in eyes.  If it were not for that type of leak I would say I was doing well with the CPAP.  I see Padacheek.com has an anti leak strap and don't know if I can stand any more items on my head.  <y mask has to be on "just so" to do right.  There have been some nights were I am up literally 5-10 times to change how the mask is sitting.  That sure helps sleep.  :)

Ginny, so very sorry to read about your sleep disruption!! We have existed on such little sleep that once we can have some there has to be a problem. I will quit complaining as I maybe get woke up once for a leak or slipped mask. Hope you can find relief very soon!! ;-)

One other idea: I have trained myself to sleep on my back because my mask leaks when I turn on my side. I sleep quite well now, very few leaks.
For the most part I do that, but occasionally find myself on my side with face in the pillow. That was my favorite b/4 CPAP!
