Also, when my nose gets plugged up, the mouth opens. I now use a Neti pot, which helps, plus the AYR gell or a generic. You didn't say how your ast...

dllfo: My latest and bestest mask is the Comfort Lite 2, and I use the "Simple Cushion", which is simply a shaped cushion of silicone that covers the nose. There is no plastic 'casing' or form supporting this material. It is extremely light, and has the smallest contact area of any 'mask'. The weigh...

If there is 'no problem' then how can this be one?

Roztom, Maybe I need to check the temperature & heating element. At times I've added pre-heated distilled water. I need to keep a nightly notebook on all of this!

kteague, GOPHER it! Especially if you get permission from the joke machine here, ha ha. I wonder if we could show it as a space-aged band instrument? Or a sneeze guard? Or nasal mask on and cigarette hanging from mouth - (you're a redneck IF...)

I have been wondering about the same thing for quite a while, and have yet to receive a satisfactory answer. I usually hear remarks about the temperature of the room, relative humidity, etc. Well, we're dealing with a 'closed system', from the humidifier, through the hose, to the mask. I made a flee...

I'd make mine into a bubble-blowing machine, and run for ocver.

The active ingredients of Bag Balm are 8-Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate 0.3% (Antiseptic) in a Petrolatum and Lanolin base WOW, I've been pondering the same thing myself! But didn't want to ruin my mask - or face. Will these ingredients interfere with the material in the mask and cause premature breakdow...

Welcome, A1KIWI. I agree that your morning dry mouth feeling is probably caused by mouth breathing at night. I use a different method of taping my mouth, and it works fine. I use a piece of tape about the width of my little finger, and 1-1/2" long. I place this in center of lips after rolling lips i...

LilBuckaroo, I used the 431 Full-face for awhile; purchased it myself because the nasal masks weren't doing the job since I was a mouth-breather, and hadn't taped my mouth at that point. At first it was very comfortable, then due to leaks (small face), I found that I needed to cinch it tighter and t...

Hi, MaryB I'm glad the tape is working somewhat. I'm also curious as to why your cheeks are billowing. Does your nose get stuffy at night? I had a major problem with that, then read about 'nasal cleansing' - it really works, and is helping me. I too have your sensitive skin predicament, but try to u...

I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a finger pulse oximeter. Any preferences, and why? Input greatly appreciated!
