Comfort Curve leaks

Post by Mom8 » Sat Oct 15, 2005 4:24 pm

I have been struggling with my comfort curve and finally came up with the way I can get it sealed for the night. After I put the machine on, I put the Comfort Curve on and flip the hose over my head and seal it on my nose. After I have it sealed I pull each side a little tighter and I can lay on my back or side and it doesn't leak all night. I also have panty liner on the cheek pads. At first having the hose over my face bothered me but I am used to it now. It was worth for all the work I went thru to get it to really seal for the whole night.

Well that's creative! It's amazing what we are able to invent considering we are under such severe fatigue conditions.

I have found that when I put some wedge shaped make-up sponges between my face and the cheek pads the mask seals a lot better.

Good luck with your new method!
