losing seal on mask...suggestions??

Posted by Eddie on January 11, 2002 at 14:22:29:

This is probably my 400th post since starting in CPAP 3 weeks ago, please bear with me. I notice that as I fall asleep, I start to lose the seal on the mask. I have tried to make the headgear a bit tighter, but that is uncomfortable. Is there anything I can apply to my face or the mask for adhesion?
