Gel pad for nasal mask

Post by mibbim » Tue Mar 21, 2017 7:55 am

Hi, I am looking for a Gel pad that I can cut it to fit in my air fit p10 for her mask. Basically is to give the extra cushion for the strap to hold the nasal pillow. In the summer, also give you a cool feeling instead of tight and warm sticky feeling. I know most of people use the pad cheek here, but I don't like another cloth on my face. I used the Respironics Nuance Gel Nasal Pillow before, the strap has that extra Gel pad. The only thing I can find on line is either something for your nose, like Resmed Gecko Nasal pad or Ameda cpmfortGel Hydrogel pad. Each of them costs around $14. I want to able to cut it to glue to the strap. I am still in the testing mode to see what thing can make me wear the mask whole night long, so far, 4 hours is my limit due to the insurance compliance requirement. Anyone uses and finds the Gel pad in a more reasonable price?

I'm curious to what you find out. I too use the Nuance Gel pillows and the gel strap. It marks my face and I've never been impressed with that gel in the face strap. I've really considered getting something to put over the plastic gel part. I don't wear mine tight at all, but still get marks that I don't appreciate.
