gadgets/lifehacks

Post by Shnorky » Mon Aug 21, 2017 6:35 am

Hey everybody,

Do you have any gadgets or "lifehacks" which you can recommend with your CPAP therapy?
Or warnings maybe?

I can recommend:

A piece of folded kitchen/toilet paper in the full face mask to catch any drool. Make sure not to block the exhaust vents but keep it near the skin.
A few drops of essential oil on a sponge somewhere near the air intake.

I DON'T recommend putting the oil directly into the humidifier water. The one time I foolishly tried that left me coughing deeply for 2-3 weeks.
