At Walgreen's it's labeled NexCare but the fine print says it's 3M MicroPore. Same tape just packaged differently.
Good to know. We have one on every corner, will get it there when I run out.
Thanks,

Dan

Thanks Sleepngo and D Boone for the information on the tape. Now I know better what I am looking for.

Pleasant dreams!

Well, I give up. I guess I'm spoiled in that my Nasal Comforgel setup just works too well. I'm stuck with mouth taping forever I guess.

I've listed my FullLife fitpack over at the Cpap auction site if anybody wants to give it a try at a reduced price.

I too had high hopes for the Full Life but I cannot get it to work without leaks. It even leaks if I tighten it down and then it hurts. I might try it one more time but for now I'm back to my Quattro. I have a few leak issues with that but can usually get them under control with a little adjusting. The search for the perfect mask goes on. My problem is I have a rather wide nose and a small narrow face. So in order for anything to not leak around the mouth it has to be extra tight. I know they can't make masks for every shaped face but most people seem to have a lot of trouble with the mask so I don't think they are on the right track with designing something new and different.

Hi,

Has anyone tried the PapCap instead of mouth taping? It is similar to a chin strap only much better. You can see it online; they have a website at http://www.pur-sleep.com

Sweet dreams

To those who are taping or using moleskin, if it works fine. If you get tired of the hassle of protecting the bridge of your nose, you might want to try the Liberty Hybrid mask (see my profile). I just started using it this week, and have had a few good nights in a row. (Last night I had rain out with humidity too high, but I'm sure when I turn it down, it'll be fine.)

In any case, don't let anyone tell you you have to put up with nose bridge irritation. Because this is not acceptable.

I used this mask last night in a sleep study and found it to be very comfortable. It didn't irritate the bridge of my nose like the other respironics full face. I would recommend it.
