A liner for use with a respiratory mask having a face-engaging portion having nasal pillows is provided, where the liner includes a body constructed from an absorbent material, the body having a first set of apertures and a second set of apertures spaced from the first set of apertures. The first set of apertures receives the nasal pillows, and the second set of apertures is aligned with the nasal pillows when the liner is in a folded configuration.
