At war with my Papcap?

[jlk]

For the last several mornings I have woke up with my Papcap covering my eyes. I assume I am having trouble keeping my mouth shut (something I have a problem with at times when awake also ) Has anyone had this problem and /or have any ideas? It worked great for several weeks but I think I am fighting it. I don't have any congestion and am running 9.4/12 auto and average about .3 ahi, but appearantly feel a need to mouth breathe. I have put it on pretty tight and still seem to be able to roll it forward over eyes. Can't see clock w/o taking mask off and loosening cap with the "peel-the-wife-off-the-ceiling-velcro-noise", I think I may sew some bra clips on one side so I can remove it silently thanks, john

--Then it's NOT the shape of my head! I have the same problem!
Some folks use pieces of Velcro (the stiff bit) on the inside back strap of the FX headgear. Maybe it would work for your Papcap.
I was thinking of sewing the rubbery band of an old thigh-high inside the back of my home-made biker bandanna chincap to make it stop drifting over my forehead. They don't slide down the leg for a reason. . .

Odd, I got my PapCap 6 weeks ago and the past 2 weeks or so its been sliding over my eyes or off the back of my head. I thought the issue is that my hair is longer, there is a lot more of it to slide around on.

I ordered one a few months ago- and the size was WAY too small for my head-I am not an alien or anything, but the largest size would maybe have fit my 3 yr old grand-daughter. Of course, since it had been opened, I am stuck with it- but there was NO way I could ever get it on my head to even see if it would work. It gets a big thumbs down in general from me...

Are you getting enough humidity from your humidifier?

I noticed I have need to increase the humidity setting as the temperature is going down outside, I imagine the air is becoming more dry in the house; the humidifier was at 2 and now it's at 4.

Last night I woke up choking, it had happened at least on 3 different times since the beginning of Autumn. What happened this night is that the tank was at 25% and working because it was hot, I imagine I was not getting enough humidity. I filed up the tank, put some humidifier spray in my nostrils and felt asleep as nothing had happened until the morning.

I suggest you to verify the humidity level you are getting.

Wearing it too tight may be the problem... I have found when I wear it more tightly, it does tend to slip down more. I know this seems counter-intuitive, but that has been my experience with it.

I gave up on mine I would wake up in the morning with that think all the way over my eyes, I have been taping my mouth for the last year had tried the red chin strap but too hot . Just recently started using the Respironics white chin strap and so far seems to be working . New DME provider has been very helpful and knowledgeable I can now talk to hubby all night if want. He's sooooo happy

With the new fairly recent design i was told that you can roll it up at the sides.

I prefer the comfort of the new design but and am forced to use the old old because that is the one that stays put.

I measured my head and was 1/4 inch into the large category, so I ordered large and thought maybe I needed the med. size, so I washed it in hot water and dried it in the dryer, it didn't shrink much. I am going to stitch 2 inch X 8 inch RV shelf liner padding over my "poll" area where most friction takes place, it keeps our plates, etc from sliding around. I need to find a happy medium on tension where I don't mouth breathe, but don't pull it over my eyes. Try to sell your Papcap on cpapauction, mine was great at first, don't know if it stretched or I have found a way to fight it. john

Interesting... I've been trying to get it as tight as possible (the cap portion)
