odor

From the very first usage of the CPAP I have noticed a strong aroma resembling talc the instant I removed the mask from my face. It lasts for about a minute afterward. Has anyone else been aware of a similar affect? Thanks.

Yes, the baby powder smell has been reported by several members over the years. It has made for some interesting discussions. If you have time, do a seach on it and see what you find. At least you won't think that you are crazy.
