best pads for Hybrid

Which strap pad is best for the Hybrid bottom straps?
Strapguard, Pad-a-Cheek or Snuggle Strap ? I need something to keep from having red marks in the morning (but LUV the mask)

I am very happy with the Pad A Cheeks.
The regular size usually used for bottom straps works well for both the top and bottom strap of the Hybrid.

How long is the 'regular' size? The ones I have are too long for the Hybrid, or my Hybrid is tighter than yours. You show me your.....and..lol

OGH-
On the PAC website, they have three types: ones for the headstrap, ones for the bottom strap and ones for the Swift strap. My PACs are the regular size for bottom straps. They are mostly likely the same size that you have.
They ARE a little too long for the Hybrid but they scrunch up nicely. Also, I like to pull them down over the clip so that I don't get a clip mark.
Actually, I have the Swift-size shorter PACs on the top strap and I don't like them as well because they are too wide (slide off easily) and not quite long enough.
If you feel your PACs are too long you could: 1) cute them down or 2) ask Karen make you shorter ones.
I intend to ask Karen to make me cotton ones. The fleece ones are pretty warm.

I having been using the Pad A Cheek's with my Hybrid Mask which have eliminated the marks on my cheeks. I also pull them over the clips for additional comfort.
