Someone on here (I apologize I don't remember who) on this topic stated that if you cut the hook side of velcro and put inside the strap so that it grabs on to your hair it will stop coming off. Don't know if you tried this yet or if you have to do this with but seems like it would work.

I have been taking this drug for about a year now and been on CPAP for about a month. I didn't notice a difference by taking this drug. It sounds like it affects people very differently. I take it every morning along with all my other medications and don't notice anything. I will tell you only recen...

Hi Packer, This may be something I need to try, however I am concerned that my insurance company will only accept ResMed because that is who I have to use now. I am not sure how that works. I used the teflon tape as I stated in a previous post but something happened last night that hasn't happened b...

No if you pull the ends off of the middle part it would be the plastic cylinder shaped part that the pillow wraps around. Does that make sense? I wish these things had names, might make it easier or if they do I wish I knew them. LOL But I am telling you the teflon tape is a miracle. No more air lea...

It might be due to the wider face. I have indian in me so I have high cheekbones. But let me tell you I couldn't find my teflon tape and need to go to the store to purchase it. Well I put it on my mask last night. I put it on the end of the tube, on the end of the stopper, on the two openings of the...

Just wanted to give you an update. I called ResMed again and they are sending me a new mask. Same one: Mirage Swift II. Hopefully this fixes it. I will update you all after I use it for a bit.

Hi CLD! I just started using mine three weeks ago. The first week I think the inside of my nose was cut or raw. It was really tender. I was like this really blows if this is how it is going to be. This was before I found out about this website. So I sucked it up and stuck with it. I must tell you no...

I have the mirage swift II. I love this mask because it is so quite. That is if I hold my hand to keep the sides pushed in. It is so quiet it is like have a humidifer on or a fan. It is comfortable, wasn't at first but I got used to it. I love it I just don't understand why it leaks so much from the...

Good morning! So last night I couldn't find my teflon tape so I need to pick some up today. But I looked at the mask and looked at all the material that came with the mask (which is exactly the links you sent over Dgrendahl). My mask is put together correctly. So when I went to bed I tried to figure...

Thank you for replying so fast papdaddy. I saw that answer somewhere else too. I am going to try that tonight. But it seems like because I have such a big head that the straps are pulling out the side connectors that hold the stopper and tube in place. I am thinking that even with the tape that it w...
