Thank you, Pugsy.

Re: Newbie from The Netherlands needs advice

As for the headband sliding up in back: 1. If you have long enough hair, make a pony tail just above the strap and it will hold the strap down. 2. If you have short hair, you can sew some Velcro hook tape (the scratchy side) in the back of the strap so that the little hooks grab onto your hair--it'...

Re: Newbie from The Netherlands needs advice

Miss Emerita, thank you for your views. I find your suggestion about EPR very helpful and interesting. And it makes sense as I sometimes find hard to exhale despite the low fixed pressure of 7.
