Try this website - http://www.strapsoftie.com - I think you will love it not expensive either and based in U.S.A. if you have trouble with the cpap straps in the future.

Have a great day I know I will - Chopper.

BINGO!!

I started using the baby wipes to give my mask a quick wipe before bed then when i would apply some lotion upon waking. That helped but a couple of nights ago i was looking at a bottle of Afta after shave lotion. Then it popped into my head that it was meant for irritated skin. So i decided to give it a try. It couldn't hurt. After just two times NO REDNESS

Now it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood *LOL*
