Hi all
While waiting for my sleep test info to share, I discovered a little gem.
Since having mouth leaks, it's been a battle. Tried taping - numbers not too bad but misery index high.
Got mask leaks down to reasonable then got creative with a custom chin strap
Still had leaks from side slipping due to pillow friction and me a dedicated side-sleeper
Found stuff called body adhesive and used it under chinstrap around mouth
I used medical grade and it worked for me. Magic stuff. A silky/satiny pillowcase helps also.
hang in there everybody
New here- mouth leak hint

Welcome to the forum!
You mentioned using a product called body adhesive. Could you please include a link to specifically what you’re talking about? Sounds interesting.

Re: New here- mouth leak hint
Hah! I just discovered body adhesive 5 minutes ago! I put it in my Amazon cart and came right to this message board to see what's new. I wonder if it will keep my mask from leaking in one little spot.

Re: New here- mouth leak hint
Well, since my mask slides around and eventually blast's off my face , I will give it a try. Thanks
Re: New here- mouth leak hint
Try Mask Mate instead — google it. I thought I couldn’t get anymore, but I found it. It works pretty well for me.
