Unfortunately I don't have the hair type to be fixed with a blowdryer. I look like you would not believe in the morning after wearing the Aura. My husband was in total shock. Truthfully my hair never looked that bad with my Swift. In fact, it usually looks decent.

I have rather fine, "easily influenced" hair, lol. A blow dryer and a few minutes doesn't do it for me either. Has to be a shower and start over from step One. But I have to wash my hair daily anyway....

I'm still using the Aura on occasion, yes. But I have to tie it on my face. And then again that last time I used it, I got that mouthfull of air that was weird. I'd never had that before but no matter what I did, all the air ended up in my mouth. Had to take off the Aura and start over with a different mask...the Swift, I think...then no problem. Weird. Hadn't ever happened before with the Aura (or any other mask), so I don't know for sure the Aura was to blame.....

So I switch between the Swift, the Comfort Lite and the Aura. Both the Comfort Lite and the Aura have to be tied on around the mid-nose area to work. The Swift is the best on your hair...so if I'm napping, that's always my choice. I've just got a pile of masks by my side of the bed, lol. Sometimes I'll got through the whole set in a single nite trying to get comfy and prevent leaks....Still hunting for the perfect mask. There's one out there, isn't there? Surely there is.

Aura XL Pillows are available? That was sneaky how you slipped that big news in there, lol. Aeiomed told me last May they were working on an XL interface, and the product manager promised an early sample. I never heard back, and had figured maybe they dropped it.

Now it's time to go XL hunting and maybe get some use out of that Aura that is sitting in my drawer collecting dust.
