If you think that is scary, try Poli-grip strips between your lips.

That takes a special kind of talent, methinks.

I am a visual learner- I think I am gonna need a picture of this set up... :wink:
brace yourself-

I braced- you did not disappoint! Thank you so much for helping me out with that visual. While I am not a bearded fellow, or gal, I am trying very hard to make the nasal pillows work and having a tough time. I don't have a cervical collar, but maybe I cam come up with something using my travel pillow.

Thank you for sharing 8)

Hmmm... I've been contemplating a design for something similar that you could wear your mask in and roll around without dislodging it (I've not been in a habit of sleeping on my back due to breathing issues), and this looks interesting, though I think my head's circumference would be pushing its limits a bit!

I also have to wonder how warm you'd be wearing this: at least for myself, I can keep warm very easily with my head covered, and I wonder if I'd be prone to sweating a lot with this.

Do not use in fire or near water

Do not smoke while using this product

Is that really something that somebody would want to do with this on their head?

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.
