Does anyone use Pur Sleep?

[Jaylee]

I have been thinking about getting one of these. Half of me thinks that some essential oil and a cotton ball would work the same. Do you have this? Do you like it? Hate it? Indifferent to it?

I liked it but I was disappointed that it didn't come with a holder for the little disk. I use a clothes pen and it isn't very attractive but it works better than the paper thing they send in the kit.

I use the Pur-Sleep essential oils and am so disappointed in the holder. It has gotten wet and smeared like crazy - don't know why it can't be made of a sturdy substance. I find the the smells are not too strong...hardly notice them when breathing.

The holder that came with mine is made of metal and is pretty sturdy for what it needs to do.

I have found that essential oil will work much in the same way. I went to a local health food store and purchased some --- they didn't carry any blends, only single scents. I then went to the Dollar Tree and purchased a pretty soap dish and a small flat candle holder so that I could switch them around if I wanted to hold the pads.

What makes Bret's oils so nice is that they are blended and smell great. My little holder was nice and sturdy with reuseable pads.

I didn't want to bother with washing the pads so I am cheap and didn't like the way a cotton ball soaked up the oil so I took a box of cheap panty liners and cut them into small squares or strips. I didn't remove the paper that protected the sticky part as I didn't want to have to worry about the adhesive getting on to things and just left the paper attached to the sticky strip and didn't have a problem. A box of liners goes a long way and are cheap and disposable this way. Add a couple of drops to the pad, it absorbs the oil and holds the scent better than the cotton ball.

I have found when stressed or not feeling good that the aroma helps. I don't use the scents every night though.

I have used these since I had problems falling asleep when I first started CPAP. The theory is that the smells divert your brain from the new sounds and smells of the CPAP. I believe this worked for me and really helped me to adjust to the therapy.

I really like the Clear and Calm oils. They help keep my nose clear at night. I also got the metal holder. I wold prefer a plastic one so it doesn't scratch the top of my dresser. A 5ml bottle will last a LONG time. I just use one or two drops per night. I also got the vanilla and cherry scents. However, they are not strong enough IMO and don't work as well.

Overall - I feel these scents have helped me adapt to the CPAP therapy and I will continue to use them each night.

I love my PUR Sleep...The "Clear" Scent keeps my nose clear and is just a very pleasant smell to me. My holder is a blue ceramic one with a place to sit the pad and a place to keep the bottle. I take it when I travel too. I love it!!!

I've used Bret's stuff for years now. I order about 20 bottles at a time including all the sleep candy ones and then about the same number of "regular" scents. I rotate the bottles through a sequence. I use a new one every couple of nights. When I finish a bottle, I keep going with the others until I'm down to a couple of remainders before I order again. Obviously I love the stuff. I'm a bad boy and still use the original in-line holder and a folded and rolled sheet of TP.

I still use the old in line holder too. I like the clear and the calm. It seems that with the in line holder I use much less of the oil. I have never had a problem with it.

SharonC I'm sure if you send a note to Bret about having a problem with ANY of his - - - Products - - -
He'll Be happy to solve your problems.
I have been a user back when He first came out with the inline holder.. It SURE has been a BIG help in me getting use to a mask / hose... EVERYBODY that I have refereed / recommended the product have been happy.Remember if he DOESN'T KNOW YOU are having a problem it can't be fixed

Well I got it. I tried one of the oils last night but I think I used too much because I started coughing sometime in my sleep and moved the holder out of the way of my intake. I will try again tonight.

[sleepycarol]

I find a drop or two is usually enough. I like it lighter than heavier -- then again I don't like most perfumes, colognes, etc since the scent is usually overwhelming instead of subtle.

[Bert_Mathews]

Don't Tell Bret BUT I dilute the Fragrances by 1/2 with rubbing Alcohol and use only one or two drops as I'm not happy with a STRONG smell ---
I "LOVE" black Cherry for some reason?
I have a few friends that love the Dark Chocolate - AIRCANDY FRAGRANCES!

I've just always used a 2" ceramic tea bag holder dish (about $2) raised to the height of the intake vent. Works fine to just lay the disc on the dish, or you could easily use a plastic clothespin or a very small 1" chip clip to hold the disc upright.

I have used the oils pretty much since Bret started selling them. At that time it came with a ceramic square plate, sort of anyway, and what I think is cotton pads. So can't really say how the new ones are or work, etc. Where as a lot of you like lighter rather than stronger fragrance, I can't seem to get enough of a stronger scent. I have only washed the cotton pad only several times. Just having it sitting there all day sure makes our bedroom smell nice. I also don't have to worry about overpowering my husband out since he has no sense of smell anymore.
