Re: Aloha Update
I too was having problems with marks being very noticeable from my Aloha - I called Karen at Pad-a-Cheek and she
designed straps to fit the Aloha and I ordered them and they are absolutely great - just wanted to let you all know that
she has them available. I just took the old ones off and the pad-a-cheek ones are so much softer - no more marks.

Not stupid ....I have the same problem...I find with the Aloha you are constantly adjusting things....Just saying..... Still LOVE it!!!!!!ozze_dollar wrote:I also use the back connection. My only problem is the back strap,it always rides up to the top of my head requiring many adjustments.
I am still trying to decide if I like the medium or the large pillow size,isnt that stupid.

I happen to use a PAPcap chinstrap, so that itself holds the mask in place for me.jwerley wrote:Not stupid ....I have the same problem...I find with the Aloha you are constantly adjusting things....Just saying.....

Love Karen. I use her covers on my Swift FX straps and main hose. Can't wait to order covers for my Aloha.cdmeowme57 wrote:I too was having problems with marks being very noticeable from my Aloha - I called Karen at Pad-a-Cheek and she

Re: Aloha Update
I absolutely LOVE my Aloha! Just had to say that. I'm feeling so much more rested, even on nights where I might have gone to bed late or restless.

Re: Aloha Update
Pad-A-Cheek Karen, can you send a pair of these Aloha straps to me too? The only thing better than my Aloha would be my Aloha minus the funky face marks!cdmeowme57 wrote:I too was having problems with marks being very noticeable from my Aloha - I called Karen at Pad-a-Cheek and she

Have some pads coming around the first of the week from Karen, and thanks for the news.cdmeowme57 wrote:I too was having problems with marks being very noticeable from my Aloha - I called Karen at Pad-a-Cheek and she

I think I may have a special problem most of you do not (just guessing) - I have reached an age where my skin does not have the same elasticity I enjoyed in my 20's. It used to never bother me about the mask impressions as they were gone in several hours - but no more. Not complaining - glad to have lived for 71 years. Someone mentioned having a problem determining which size pillows was appropriate for them - In most masks I use large pillows but not with the Aloha. It's medium and I always thought they was a tad larger than most. I love the Aloha and will do anything I can to continue using it.

Re: Aloha Update
Funny, I used the medium pillows for my Swift FX, but I need the large pillows for the Aloha. Just goes to show you how unique we all are!jimnsc wrote:. . .

Karen was supposed to send me a fund request via PayPal for my strap covers, but I never got it. I'll have to email her.

Re: Aloha Update
I just put in an order with Karen this morning. Wish I'd known she had strap covers for the Aloha. Oh well, I'll wait and see how you like them and then I'll order them.
I've liked my Aloha since the first night I used it but I keep liking it more every time I wear it.

You can find something wrong with everything but I'll have to say the Aloha is a winner! All thy have to do at Respcare is make small modifications as they hear about them in forums like this.
