Nose protection

Post by formerobgyn » Thu Mar 26, 2009 5:59 am

After a year of use of various masks and using cotton balls, bandaids, silicone gel, moleskin, and who remembers what else, the only thing which has worked is the PAD-A CHEEK nose protection and I want to give credit where credit is due

I have used these Nose/forehead protector from Pad A Cheek and my nose is not sore and no redness. She is excellent to work with and she shipping of the product is FAST. Before I found these I was going through band-aids everynight.

What and where can I get this PAD A CHEEK. I'm going thru the same thing. After a few days of relief with tape (etc) I'm back with the same problem.

Go to padacheek.com. Karen makes nose protectors in several thicknesses. Just let her know what kind of mask that you are using. Believe me they are worth it. Buy several so you can be washing one and wearing the other.
