Masks and air leaks.

I hate the mask I have, it's leaky (air), uncomfortable and the only way I can get it to stop leaking is to wedge it further down my face and end up with a sore bridge of my nose. In short I hate it…Continue

Hallo Amanda, many thanks for the welcome. I've enjoyed reading your posts and hope the cold goes away soon. I'm slowly getting used to my CPAP machine, though the mask is taking a little longer (those pesky leaks...). It's great to finally be getting suitable treatment for my long standing OSA. All the best, Pete

Glad you like the pretty hose now - makes our bedrooms look less clinical ;)  I use the wipes all the time - as well as them being quick and convenient, they do a great job of removing our facial oils which helps the masks keep sealing well.  I wipe mine in a morning and leave the mask to air dry on the hose lift hook, so it's all ready for bed.

My tubing looks fab with it's pretty pink cover! Thanks Kath, and also thanks for the samples of wipes and moisturizer. Will definitely be ordering some wipes from you.
