Need Suggestions Re: materials for rigging Aura

Post by Sleeping With The Enemy » Wed Apr 27, 2005 8:43 pm

I don't have any spare mask around. I am in need of input from people who have rigged their Aura's like Rested Gal.

I'm wondering what they used and where the obtained the materials....

I need to switch to using Aura more as my forehead is breaking out due to Activa.

Thanks

Heidi

If I am not mistaken, the rested one used a pair of nylons.. lol I tried her idea, but used a blue nylon strip of a doo rag. I used it to pull the pillows closer to my face. It seems to work. I have used the mask successfully without the modification and get great sleep with it. It has been that way since the first time I used the Aura.

Another suggestion if you want the hoseguide to be closer in, is to use a sports sweat band and move it low on your forehead. That will pull the head stays closer to your face as well and make it even more secure that it already is.
