Re: Terrific mouth tape

Thanks for your suggestion.

I've just started taping. My 3M tape is awful! It rips my lips.

Re: Why doesn't everyone use a cervical collar?

Thanks for all the posts. I ordered a cervical collar from Amazon. Wrong size; I ordered wrong. Sent it back... I haven't tried again. My local drugstore doesn't stock much and collars are horribly expensive there. I ordered a Knightsbridge Dual Strap chinstrap. It's worked for me. I have a ResMed N...

I have a collection of old chinstraps that either * didn't work (don't know why I kept them then) * stretched so they don't work anymore (so I can find them again?) I also have several cushions I bought that were meant to hold my jaw closed while I'm a sleep. I've had bad luck buying "new things" I'...

Re: New here: mask injury, Oscar, etc

Congratulations on good treatment results... I use a surge suppressor with an extension cord. I'm concerned about power surges. It's saved me once when I was travelling and power went out. Do you have access to the clinician's manual? It explains settings much better than the user's manual I was giv...

Re: Why doesn't everyone use a cervical collar?

Here's a screenshot showing performance the night before. I made my owns soft cervical collar years ago.

Pad goes on the front of my neck. It's the face pad from a backpack/baby carrier. It's held in place by a strap from an old camera bag. It's very soft.

Re: S9 Water Tank

I had this issue too.

My "tank" ran dry after about 6 hours sleep here in Toronto.

I added a humidifier to my furnace; this was to protect musical instruments, not me. One cracked due to low humidity.

Problem solved. My S9E humidifier has never run out since.
