RemZzzs Full Face Cpap Mask Liners (K2-FM) - Reduce Noisy Air Leaks and Painful Blisters - Cpap Supplies and Accessories - Compatible with Resmed Respironics DeVilbiss

These cpap mask liners have been a game changer for me. Been wearing a cpap for years, I've always struggled with leaks, sometimes the air not staying constant, then the last 6 months my face started having a reaction to the mask. I've tried other covers, they were a constant struggle. With these, there are no leaks, air flow is more constant, and no skin irritation. I sleep like a baby using these. I would highly recommend, use subscription and they are a bit cheaper.

I use a a full face mask (F20 AirFit ResMed M) and I struggled at first with the cloths. I still has some leaks. I tried again adding a little bit of lotion on my face where the cushion sits and the combination has been perfect. The cloth stays in place and I have no leaks. I am even able to use the same cloth for a several days. I just leave it in place when I take the mask off in the morning. I brush the edges of the cloth away from my face and kind of tuck the excess under the straps once the mask is on. I find that more comfortable. One caution, be careful that your lotion does not have any petroleum products (mineral oil for example) that will destroy the silicone of the cushion. I have found several lotions that are good; Bodycology body creams, CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, and my favorite - Attitude Sensitive Natural Care Oatmeal body lotion. Attitude is great. It comes in a pump bottle and has no petroleum products, no PFAs, and no forever chemicals.

I used this product for the first time last night. I’m very impressed with it!! It’s the first time I wasn’t awakened by whistling noises due to mask leakage. The 4-star rating is because it was a little difficult to get correctly positioned under the mask, which is an F20 full face mask. This is a great product that I wish I’d known about a couple of years ago!

I love these. Why dont everyone have these??? These make all the difference in the world. Stops the whistles. So much softer on my face. I rather have these than plastic against my skin. I love them. I will buy more. A bit pricey, but, necessary.

Pros: My bi-pap's facemask is among the more comfortable for me (I've gone through several), but it does not keep a seal. I am awakened a few times nightly simply by the noisy escape of air between the mask's cushion and my skin, be it left, right, top or bottom. Finally, I discovered the mask liner by RemSzzs. It stopped the leakage in its tracks. I can now sleep for hours. I'm a side sleeper, which places a challenge on any such mask. Before using the liner, the mask would "fill" with water even though I had it set at the lowest moisture level; setting it at dry would do just that to my sinuses and throat. Not only did the non-lined mask cushion fill with water, that water became slimy, and when I'd wake up due to the unsealed noise, I'd have to wipe the inside dry or replace the cushion. With the liner, there is no moisture build-up or slime. The product seems to absorb and wick the excess moisture outside the mask. The inside of the mask's cushion remains completely dry. Additionally, you can increase the moisture level of your CPAP machine and the liner can handle it. And you do need the moisture in your mouth. I ramped my moisture number from 1 to 4 with no problem. A dry mouth is ideal for developing tooth decay--just as bad on your teeth as too much sugar, but without the diabetic danger. Cons: There is no way each machine-stamped-out piece of thin cotton should cost more than a dollar, which, if the manufacturer had its way would be thrown away every morning. Thus, there is a way to cut the cost drastically. The same liner can be effectively used 2-3 nights in a row. Some have mentioned gently washing the liner by hand to re-use. There is really no need to hand wash: Place it (better yet, several) in the washing machine on the gentle cycle, lowest time, and with the least amount of water. Once done, lay the liner flat in a dehumidified basement (or wherever) to dry--uncurl it, if necessary, and do not put it in the dryer. Another method is to use a hot dry iron on the wet liner, set on "cotton," just like ironing clothes, even a steam ironing will work. The total effect--yes, tested by me--of re-using the liner and washing it has the final economic effect: 1 night - $1.00+ 2 nights - $0.50 3 nights - $0. 33 4 wash & iron re-use - $0.25 5 nights - $0.20 6 nights - $0.17 7 wash & iron re-use - $0.14 And, get this, with being washed twice and naturally giving off a little lint, it is still as effective as new. Uh oh, I can hear the conversation at headquarters now: "We have to make this of a cheaper quality--sort of like 'planned obsolesce'--or we'll make less money!" Hopefully, this won't happen, and the price will be lowered. Actually though, it's really no great hassle to re-use these little cushioned liners. 8 nights - $0.125 (This is getting to be economic fun!) 9 nights - $0.11 10 wash & iron re-use - $0.10 11 nights - $0.09 12 nights - $0.083 (By now the liner has lost its silky-smooth feeling, but to some it will be working satisfactorily. I didn't put this into a dryer, but it may have puffed up some and felt smoother had I done so. I am ending this experiment, but you get the picture of what can be done: a 90 percent discount.) This somewhat time-consuming, yet money-saving technique may or may not be necessary if the purveyor of the product sold it at a reasonable profit. Such behavior will always give birth to inventive frugality. Speaking of frugality, Medicare will pay for a machine, mask and other regularly-delivered CPAP accessories of much greater expense, but it will not pay for these liners which can help keep users on such therapeutic machines, and, therefore, benefit their health, the objective of providing the machines in the first place--you can read of these benefits elsewhere. If you are using an older mask cushion to save money, this liner may "renew" its effectiveness and save you additional money. Thus, my rating: 5 stars for effectiveness, 1 star for financially gouging users = 3 stars. Update--12/12/2016: You've probably guessed it: I couldn't keep up this regime. But I am able to use the pads 3-4 nights in a row. This is better than the one-night-use wanted by the manufacturer. Update--9/3/2017: I'm still at it! If you're frugal, here's what you save. Instead of $30 every month (non-prime), if you use the liners for 3 days each you just spend $10/month. If you use them for 5 days (like I do), you'll spend $6/month instead of $30. To reverse that: In 3 months you'll save $20; in 5 months you'll save $120; in one year you'll save $260. Wouldn't you like to save that or spend it elsewhere? Also, I find that dry ironing the liners right out of the washer when they're wet keeps them from curling on the edges when using a steam iron. Regardless, the curls are no problem, anyhow. Additionally, wash them with the whites or colored clothes, regular or gentle wash; it really doesn't matter. Update--11/18/2017: Just washed 22 of these with my white wash. I dried them flat on the closed tops of the washing and drying machines, then later steam ironed them with my regular clothes. Some were yellowed because of use, but that doesn't matter; they're clean. I'm adding this update because some may think this is procedure is onerous: I timed my unhurried self while ironing and it took plus/minus 30 seconds for each. Now, I have 22 like-new liners.

I find these liners super helpful and essential for tolerating my cpap mask. But like others, I'm put off by the high price of what seem like pieces of cheap, inexpensive fabric (30 for $30). You can try to wash these for re-use, but the fabric is fragile and doesn't hold up well. For example, if you put them in the dryer, they end as crumpled little balls. You can hand wash and dry them (see pic for liners on my drying rack), but it's tedious. To get the water out, you have to squish them and then fling them flat and so on. Maybe with a towel ringer you could do this better. Anyway, after I made my own liners from similar fabric and found them much more durable, I came to the conclusion that perhaps RemZzzs specifically designs the liners so fragile that you must replace them almost daily. Really, they're made of cotton. Imagine getting a cotton T-shirt and finding a note from the company saying you should replace each t-shirt with a new one daily. It's great revenue for the company because this means you'll need to spend $30 a month for these liners. But it's not good for customers who learn to rely on a product that quickly falls apart. I was so fed up with these flimsy, super expensive liners that I decided to try making my own. I went to a local fabric store and bought similar fabric. To simplify matching the fabric, just bring a sample liner and ask the clerk to match it. I found some 60% cotton/40% polyester fabric that was pretty close. You want thin t-shirt fabric -- about a yard, which will cost you about $10. The polyester gives it some stretch. Lay the fabric out and cut out various strips the width of the mask. Fold each strip in half. Take an existing liner and fold it in half -- make a stencil out of it with some thicker paper (like a manilla folder). Then place the stencil on the folded strip and trace a line with a pen. Then cut it out. It's not rocket science here. See pics for examples. If you run into problems, ask your elementary school child for help with project. :) I found that a yard of fabric yields about 50 liners. And guess what? I'm still working my way through one liner after a week. The fabric holds up like a normal t-shirt. It doesn't wear out at night. Cutting all these out took me about an hour and a half while I was watching football. I'm not a sewing person and have very little skill making things, by the way. I will never buy these liners again. I'll just make my own. The fabric I get will be softer, more comfortable, and will last at least a week with each liner. The 50 liners I created in an hour and a half will last me likely the entire year for $10. Compare with the $30/month option of buying these from Remszzz (that's $360 a year). I'm sorry, but I have little sympathy for companies that create disposable products that seem to wear out with one use. I'm just surprised that I ordered this product six times before deciding to make my own.

I am only 2 months into using a CPAP machine and have been trying out different masks and machine settings. Currently the best mask for me is the full face CPAP mask. It never truly felt like it fit properly because I would wake up with dry eyes from the air leaking out, or if I turned my head I would be woken up by air leaking out, and I always had to tighten my mask as much as possible so I was starting to have rough red marks on my face that aligned with the outline of my mask. My doctor suggested this and it has already fixed every problem I noted above. It really is a simple but effective product! I wish it cost less though but good sleep goes a long way so it is what it is.

Once you use it you will always use this mask liner you will always use it. Not only does it make wearing the mask more comfortable, but it also greatly reduces leaks without the mask being so tight. It reduces mask irritation and minimizes red marks on for nose and face. It is a little difficult to get position correctly on your mask. I also cost too much for a piece of die cut knit cotton. Even with the high cost, I am a loyal subscriber. Maybe if the producerr lowered the price a lot more people would buy it.
