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!!
Ginny Edmundson said: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. :)

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.
