Padacheek (trial) + LT Swift Review

My LT Swift + Padacheek Review


First off, I would like to thank Karen for letting me participate in the trials for
her product.

Second, I am new to CPAP, about 6 weeks in. The LT Swift is my primary mask.

For me, the LT Swift was a near perfect mask, the only thing I thought after using it
was to change the direction of the exhaust. It blows directly onto my wife. I never
really paid attention to the head gear or the straps. I thought they were perfect as
they didn't hurt, or leave marks. I was actually wrong.

First, the package itself was very simple to assemble. Being a man (joke!), I did
it without the instructions, and then verified with the instructions that I did do
it right.

I immediately put the mask on, and my first impression was:
"Wow, this is really soft".

Putting the mask on, and having it on over night was even more comfortable.

In the morning, I usually quick wash the pillows and let them dry for the next night.
I decided to remove the Padacheeks, and test them against washing them.

Removal was just as easy as the installation.

After washing, I gave them a good hand squeeze and layed them out to dry. I looked
for any change in the material (color, size, stitching etc...). As I expected,
the material stood up perfectly.

The LT Swift is almost the perfect mask for me, I didn't think the straps needed to
be changed in anyway. But trying it with the Padacheeks, it did make those straps
feel even better against the face. The quality of material used and workmanship of
the product is excellent for the price.

Again, thanks to Karen for letting me participate and for a wonderful product.

When Padacheek runs a trial, she posts on the forum. Like this;

I don't see the Quattro listed on her website; http://www.padacheek.com, but you can PM her and see what she has.
