PapCAP (Pur-Sleep) and Swift LT

Post by tattooyu » Fri Apr 03, 2009 12:35 pm

I just ordered my PapCAP and would appreciate any replies or PMs with any tips for attaching the PapCAP to the Swift LT. Does anyone here use the extra straps to do that, or do you just wear the Swift LT over the PapCAP?

I can't wait for it to come in the mail... the pressure points of my current chinstrap are killin' me.

Thanks!

-Kenny


P.S. I showed my wife the photo of the PapCAP...

Hey Kenny,
Can't help you with the strap up of that mask because I'm not familiar with it, but it does work for ComfortGel and Activa masks. My only issue has been the "flexibility"....one of the things I do to deal with leaks is pull the mask away from my face so that the membrane will re-inflate and re-seal. The straps with the PAPCap are too rigid to allow me to do that -- I need something more elastic like with the velcro attachments.
But all that said, the PAPCap is a great product!!!! I don't mouth breathe so the chinstrap isn't an issue for me, but it is very comfortable!!!
Looking forward to hearing your impressions!!!
Take chare
cheers

I use both and simply put on the papcap, attach the chin strap and then use the swift headgear to hold the mask in place. Just didn't see any easy way to adapt the swift to the papcap straps and really there's no need to as I only got the papcap to stop my jaw from dropping while asleep, not because of any issues with the swift headgear.
