S.O. - Taping with facial hair and chinstraps
Re: S.O. - Taping with facial hair and chinstraps
I tried Curad 1/2" waterproof tape last night in an "X" pattern and it worked decently. Gonna try J&J cloth tape tonight.

Thank You..............lazer wrote:The chinstraps I've all but given up on. Major comfort issues with me personally. I will possibly revisit them though if I can't get this damn Quattro FX tuned in to stop leaking during pressure increases.
In regards to taping with facial hair, I've been oft tempted to try it but chicken out everytime for the fear of the pain in ripping off half my mustache. I don't know if there is a safe way in these circumstances.
I thought that was a real bug on my monitor.

I used a stretchy fleece head band fitted tightly over my lips. Worked well enough.
Sewed it just right for fit ...
Initial investment of time and effort.
... then I trained my tongue to use muscle memory.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Honestly, when I was just starting in the cpap world I shaved anything that was in the way.grillhead wrote:

My logic was very simple - if I live long enuff I can always grow the hair back. IF I don't live - I don't/won't need the hair.
Life consists of a series of choices.

Thanks, I used microfiber or micropore but I'm running low.
But it worked well.
Used a breath right, strips too, no dry mouth, but had stressful dreams.
That was my fault, I ate too late.
