padacheek products

Post by detcord » Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:07 pm

Just a huge thanks to Padacheek for a great product and service. Ordered an anti-leak strap and padded neck strap for my Mirage Quattro on Wednesday, and received them today. Very impressed by the quality of material and fit. Tried them out for just a bit to see how they work, and WOW. Can't wait to sleep tonight. If you've ever thought about ordering from them, quit thinking and DO IT. You can definitely tell that these were made by a mask wearer. Great Job.

I second that emotion! I got a "nosebridge pad" for a FF I used to have. Worked beautifully, and the quality is superb!

I just ordered strap pads for my Hybrid yesterday. Can't wait til they arrive...

Yup...she does great work. Longevity of the products is very good too. I have a neck strap pad Karen sent me in Nov. 2006 that I am still using.

What they said. I love my anti-leak strap. I use it with the quattro ff and the zzz ff.

I'll chime in and say that I love the two pads Padacheek made for me that cover the entire silicon frame of my Swift FX. Not only do they keep the silicon from touching my cheeks and getting tangled in my hair, they also keep the area where the backstrap joins the silicon part of the frame from rubbing against my ears when the mask slips.

My padacheek nosebridge protector has been fantastic! I wish I had thought to get it long before I did. I think it would have saved a lot of pain and irritation.

I bought several padacheek products as I was adding to my mask collection.
Lets see I have:
-4 pairs of Hybrid mask strap covers; 2 in micro fleece and 2 in cotton
-2 pairs of strap covers for my Opus 360
-1 pair of nose bridge protectors for my FF Flexifit 431 (they come in a set of 2)
-1 pair of strap protectors for the Flexifit 431
-1 pair of protectors for the forehead attachment of my Quattro (also come in a set of 2).

Love those PACs!!

By the way, has anyone tried the barrel cozy for the Swift fx?

Ditto here. I've been deflecting questions about the marks and redness on my face, which are lasting most of the day now. So it was time to experiment.

Just returned from the grocery store, with a small package of panty-liners (unscented), white. Don't know if they come in colors. I took one out and tried it on (my face) for size. Figured it's going to take some cutting and fitting. A few minutes later I had a pair of pads for my Opus 360 straps. Looks pretty amateurish, the adhesive doesn't stick very well, and the liner slides around too much for comfort. I'm going to try one on one strap tonight and see if it causes my mask to slide around like I think it will.

In the meantime, I visited http://www.padacheek.com/and ordered pads for my mask. Site was well laid out, offered pads to fit a wide assortment of masks in lots of colors. Didn't have camouflage to match my hose snuggie, so I went for the Bimini Green.

Thanks for offering a much needed product.

And you'll be a better looking man wearing padacheeks instead of panty liners of any color, Slartbartfast!

I want to add my recognition and thanks to PadACheek for the creativity, responsiveness, and highly reliable quality of products AND service.

I have used cheek straps from PadACheek in the past.....and still have them 2 years later. Because of changes in my weight (loss) and therefore face contours, I have not needed to use the straps lately because I don't have the same touch points and pressure points.

Stands up well to use and lots of washing! And the piece of wire for putting on the pads was a brilliant addition to the kit! Attention to those small but direly important details is one thing that really sets you apart.

If I get another style of mask or have leak or comfort issues, my first contact will be PadACheek.

Thank you so very much for what you do and the highly reliable and compassionate way you do business.

Warm regards,
J
