Woke up this morning with the panty liner pad I made last night stuck to my eyelid. The adhesive allowed it to slowly creep around and it evidently had a greater affinity for my face than the strap I intended it to stick to. So that's one idea I won't bother with any longer. On the plus side, however, I had no strap marks on that side of my face this morning, so the concept appears to work.

I'm looking forward to the arrival of my order.

I just ordered the Swift FX barrel cover. I sometimes get little droplets of water inside of my nasal pillow and I didn't even realize that karen had a solution for that too! My husband is using her Quatro FFM liner because he developed reddish marks on his face from the silicone cusion and now he sleeps sooooo comfortably!

I can't thank Karen enough for all her wonderful pad-a-cheek products! We sleep so much more comfortably thanks to her!

Regards to all,

i just received 3 new liners for my
quattro, Activa Lt and Swift FX barrel cozy. I've use the first two for a while now but the barrel cozy I use for the first time last night, another winner! Thanks Karen.

Just got off the phone with my wife (who lives 1000 miles away). Our evening chat. She was still on duty in the hospital and had me on speaker phone. When I told her about the pantyliner stuck to my eyelid I heard cackling laughter in the background. And some comment about my being comfortable with my masculinity to go to the grocery store to buy a package of pantyliners to use as strap cushions for a CPAP mask.

Has anyone used the nose bridge protector for the resmed mirage quatro FF mask? Does it affect the leak rate? It would be nice to wake up in the morning without the red nose and forehead marks. I tried a silicone item, that might have helped my nosebridge but leaked very badly.
Thank you in advance for any insight that you can offer.

Okay, you all convinced me. Ordered some cheek pads for my Opus. Got microfleece and cotton. Can't wait to try them.

I used the padacheek product for the nose bridge and forehead on the mirage quatro FF mask. It worked great and didn't cause any leaks.
