If you drool while wearing your mask is it a CPAP smear?

It isn't your age. It is your gender.

I would also consider that the light application of Lansinoh to the nostrils to make them stick to the pillows.
Someone also suggested that K-Y jelly would work. Life is a circle.

And I thought I was just too young to get it. Being female isn't helping.

Since the pap test has been the gold standard for diagnosing cervical cancers,
perhaps the new HSV vaccines can some day make pap smears a thing of the past.
Wasn't it horrible to smell something burning--and know it was YOU!

I am a guy and I get it, I even laughed, but somehow I think I shouldn't (probably spent too much time listening to the females in my family ).

It's OK, John, you have permission to laugh because you are a good guy.

Whew, thanks! I thought I might lose my 'Man card' by my admission. Good to see that I can keep it for at least a while longer (psst...don't tell anyone kaiasgram... but I also like to watch romantic comedy's with my wife and will even eat quiche when I think no one is watching me ).

I am sure one of these days it will be considered to be just that but right not it is all we have and I am very thankful to have it. I love my machine. It is making such an improvement in my life I don't want to live without it.
