CPAP Gel Mask Leak Sealer

I'm extremely happy to have found this sealer as it really works to insure a tight seal of my mask.

I was so tired of leaks waking me up like 12 times a night that I googled "how can I glue my cpap mask to my face?" and I was ready to try Superglue or raw bacon slices or plaster of paris 🤣 but lo and behold there IS a way: this stuff! I got some right away and have not had one single leak since! The gel just somehow works and feels nice, albeit cold and a little slimey, but that should be a bonus once summer gets here.

Unfortunately, I need something that lasts the whole night. This does help a lot with sealing the mask for a little while, but by 2 or 3 am it has dried up completely and the leaks return. If I have to wake up to reapply, I'm going to have a hard time returning to sleep and getting a good rest. Not to mention I'll be turning on the lights and waking up the wife.On the other hand, it does help to soothe the skin. However, there may be less expensive options for doing that.

Seems to work ok.

It is just a gel that dries leaving practically no residue. Without it, air leaks around my nasal pillow, probably because I have outrageously large nostrils. With it, same thing, but in trains of bubbles that are noisier and that tickle me furiously. Once it dries completely, it may actually help a little, but no better than a thin layer of dried Betadine would. I needed something akin to plumber's putty or silicone sealant, with body to it that could ask as a gasket all night. I did not get that. I also had difficulty positioning my nasal pillow and headgear with wet CPAP gel, as it would wipe off on my forehead, an eyebrow or my nose while I was busy wrestling the straps into place. Had I known what the product was and how it was expected to work, I would not have invested the purchase price. I use a nasal pillow, I toss and turn a lot, I have the aforementioned giant nostrils, and my CPAP operates at level 12. If your CPAP is lower pressure and your facial features are all human-sized, it may work for you, but then, why would you need it?

When I first tried this it really wasn't effective at all in stopping the mask leak, but I later discovered I was using it wrong. I was applying it to my face then putting my mask on. No, it has to be applied directly to the mask where you have the leakage, then put the mask to your face as usual, careful not to wipe it off in the process, which is easier than you think. Just hold the mask in place on your face then do the straps. Then once you're mask is situated and secured, this stuff will kind of dry, forming a very effective seal between the mask and your face.If you need to take your mask off for a restroom trip or something, you'll need to re apply the sealant before putting it back on.This doesn't leave a weird residue on your face and doesn't get sticky. No scent to it. Just better sleep not having to contend with air leakage.One request I have of the manufacturer, though, is to please put it in a tub with a screw top lid instead of the tube. Typically we are putting our masks on in the dark or in low light situations and it's difficult to tell just how much of the product is coming out of the tube onto our finger as you can't really feel it. The stuff is pretty light weight. Too much, too little? With a tub it's way easy easier to tell how much we have. And the screw top lid is easier to close than a snap on lid. I ended up transferring the product from the tube into such a container and it's so much easier to use.

This gel worked extremely well with my husbands CPAP!

This product is more of a thick liquid than a gel. So runny it pours off the mask before the mask can be positioned. I gave it 2 stars because the alow Vera dies sooth my skin. But fir sealing aircleaks, totally useless
