I too am into DoTerra Oils. And while it is not recommended to add the oils to the rubber area of the mask, I add it to the rubber nose part of the hose: it is also how I keep it clean. I did this prior to using DoTerra Oils. B4 Doterra oils, I used Eucalyptus oil & Melaleuca Oil (Melaleuca oil clea...

I slept with it last night: I love it, however It is a bit too tight on my face & makes marks on it. I was cleaning it this morning & the hook on the head gear broke off. So, it didn't last me very long. @ least I have the one I normally use to fall back on.

My husband gave me a heads up & I prayed abt this situation last night.

Thanks. I have yet to read it. I can't deny it, 'cause my husband & I both need this.
