INSTRUCTIONS & TIPS
Choose your Snugz.
Snugz is built for ease and comfort. For convenient Snugz Mask Liners instructions for use, simply select your CPAP mask style and follow step-by-step instructions on how to apply it to your mask.
Snugz Full-Face Mask Liners will fit all sizes of all nose-and-mouth masks except for the ResMed Mirage Quattro, the extra-large Fisher and Paykel Forma, and the large Respironics ComfortGel. They are also not recommended for under-the-nose masks such as the Respironics Amara View or DreamWear and the ResMed F30, or total face masks such as the Respironics FitLife.
Full-Face CPAP Mask Liner Instructions & Tips from Snugz
Using Snugz couldn’t be any easier. Here’s how:
First, slide your hand through the mask liner with the black line facing inward, touching your fingertips. Use fingers to spread the liner open.
Next, hook the upper outer edge of the mask liner over the top of your mask. The black line should be facing the mask. Easy enough.
Then stretch the mask liner to secure over the other rounded corners of the mask. Almost there!
Finally, achieve your desired mask coverage and comfort through minor tugging adjustments. For best results, ensure that Snugz are pulled inside the mask enough to cover all of the rubber mask cushion. That’s it. Really. Now go to sleep.
Tips.
- Feel free to give your Snugz a few stretches with your hands before applying it to your mask if you feel that it’s too tight on your mask.
- Make sure that the black seam is on the hard plastic part of the mask, as indicated in the instructions, while the seam without the black line is on the rubber part of your mask. The seam with the black line is slightly thicker and tends to lift the mask off your face too much (causing leaks) and may also leave lines on your face. The seam without black is much softer and thinner and is meant to be on the rubber part of the mask.
- Make sure that you pull the seam without the black line inward into the mask enough. It should align with the inner edge of the rubber so that when looking at the open side of the mask, you cannot see any rubber as shown here. This will ensure that the thinnest and softest part of the Snugz is on your face and that the edge of the Snugz will not cause lines.
- When applying the mask to your face, first start with the mask high so that your nose is in the middle of the mask. Then, slide the mask down over your nose bridge. This will help spread the nose bridge portion of your mask cushion more naturally over your nose for a better fit and better seal. If you feel like the nose bridge portion of the rubber mask cushion is compressed too much by the Snugz CPAP full mask liner, you can use your thumbs to spread the mask cushion open as you slide it down over your nose as shown here.
- Note that the breathability of Snugz WILL leave you with a different sensation on your skin—your skin will feel cooler and dry. For some patients, this can take some getting used to, but it is what will help keep your skin irritation-free.”
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS.
Snugz is low maintenance. Simply toss your liners in with your regular laundry between uses to keep them fresh. And, yes, you can throw them in the dryer as well. Feel free to use fabric softener—just steer clear of harsh chemicals and bleach, as they may irritate skin. We recommend having at least one Snugz for each day of the week so you can cycle it through with your weekly laundry.
Nasal CPAP Mask Liner Instructions & Tips from Snugz
Using Snugz couldn’t be any easier. Here’s how:
First, slide your hand through the mask liner with the black line towards your knuckles. Use your fingers to spread the liner open.
Next, stretch the liner over your nasal mask so that it covers the rubber mask cushion. Easy enough.
Then, pull the end of your Snugz with the black line so that it extends about half an inch (1.25 cm) past the rubber cushion.
Finally, use your thumbs to fold your Snugz inside the mask so that the black line is behind the inner edge of the CPAP nose gel pad.
Tips.
- Give your Snugz a few stretches before applying it if you feel it’s too tight on your mask.
- Make sure that the black seam is pushed inside of the mask enough so that it ends up behind the inner edge of the mask cushion.
- Note that the breathability of Snugz will leave you with a different sensation on your skin—your skin will feel cooler and dry. For some patients, this can take some getting used to, but it will help keep your skin irritation-free.
