The 10 Mask Commandments

Post by M0ses » Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:12 pm

(1) Don't leak

Most deadly sin. Leaky masks go to hell directly already.

(2) Don't tell me how to sleep

Let me sleep on my back, sides (right & left), stomach, whichever way...

(3) Don't be noisy

and wake everyone up with loud whistling.

(4) Don't blow air at my bed mate

and ruin his/her sleep and encroach on our relationship.

(5) Don't leave red marks on my face

that last well into the day and turn me into a butt of jokes at work.

(6) Don't weight heavily on my face

Be light. No need to be obese to work well.

(7) Don't obstruct my view

so I can read or watch TV.

(8) Don't be hard to put on or take off

Make my life easy. OSA is bad enough as it is.

(9) Don't be so ugly

that my dog has a heart attack each time I go to the bathroom at night.

(10) Don't blow holes in my wallet

Be reasonable and not greedy with prices!

Can we get an 'Amen!" ?

Hallelujah, brother!

That would be a "Toto, I don't think were in Kansas anymore" Moment.

My mask only meets 6 of these "commandments". Any mask out there does better?

It would be great to have a tool to gather wide-scale comments from users that could be easily read at a glance : ) In lieu of such a tool, the forum does a great job! It just takes a bit of work to glean the info.

OK, my current main mask, the Activa, got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8.

I don't think my Activa is ugly but it's not exactly debonair next to some skinny slick thing like a Swift or so.
