How are you supposed to use the Padacheek nose protectors?

Post by kayfouroh » Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:23 am

I have a ComfortGel FF mask and I get red sores on the bridge of my nose. Through recommendations here, I picked up the appropriate Padacheek nose bridge protector but I CANNOT use it for some reason. I place it on my nose, I fold it inside the mask, I rest it along the gel, no matter what I get BAD leaks around the cloth and I just cannot sleep with it. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I am stuck with no protection and red sores on my nose every morning

Anyone have any advice?

I am sorry you are having such a problem with your bridge of your nose.
Please call me, and will be happy to help you with this. If we cannot get what you have to work, I will design something else for you.
We want you to sleep comfortably and wake up with no marks on your face.

With some tweaks, I think I can help you.

Karen
