Need Input

Post by pjadams » Sat May 10, 2008 8:58 am

A new mask has been recommended to me by a friend in the medical profession. It is [url=http://www.nomask.com/]CPAP Pro. Can anyone share experiences with this mask - good or bad? Thanks! I use a different nasal pillow mask now but am waked up all the time by leaking air.

I HAVE a CPAP pro so I am speaking from experience.

Don't bother.

It's a Rube Goldberg design, doesn't hold up well, sounds like a jet plane, leaks into your eyes.... want more?

Now I *WILL* say something that sounds totally contradictory to that. The cpap pro got me back on track and using my cpap machine again after I had quit because I couldn't stand the mask that I was given. The lack of headgear was VERY attractive to me on the cpap pro.

I have since learned a great deal and found masks that work.

Oh... and DROOL? You're sleeping with something in your mouth and passing between your lips.

It's still a great idea. I just think it's extremely poorly implemented and while you may find a handful of people that use it with success, you will find a TON of people who will tell you it's a piece of garbage and certainly not worth the exorbitant price.

Will you tell me what you are using now that works? I have the Opus right now. It leaks but isn't real noisy. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/opus-h ... -cpap.html
